If drosal nerve of spinal cord is broken down then its effect is :

  • no impulse is transmitted

  • impulse is transmitted but slowly

  • impulse is trasmitted fast

  • no effect on impulse


A.

no impulse is transmitted

Spinal nerve is a mixed nerve which arises from gray matter of spinal cord. It has two roots. The dorsal root is sensory and the ventral root is motor. If dorsal nerve of spinal cord is broken down, the pathway of nerve will break so, no impulse will be transmitted.

Which of the following statement is wrong regarding conduction of nerve impulse?

  • In a resting neuron, the axonal membrane is more permeable to K+ ions and nearly impermeable to Na+ ions.

  • Fluid outside the axon has a high concentration of Na+ and low concentration of K+, in a resting neuron

  • Ionic gradients are maintained by Na-K pumps across the resting membrane, which transport 3 Na+ ions outwards for 2K+ ions into the cell.

  • Resting potential is the electrical potential difference across the resting membrane

  • Resting potential is the electrical potential difference across the resting membrane
