Description : When the electric impulse travels along the axon and reaches the other end called the synaptic terminal, this impulse triggers the release of – (1) Vesicles (2) Cleft (3) Mitochondria (4) All of the above

Last Answer : (1) Vesicles Explanation: The electrical impulses stimulate the release of vesicles. These store various neurotransmitters that are released at the synapse. Vesicles are essential for propagating nerve impulses between neurons and are constantly recreated by the cell.

Description : The filtration unit of kidney is - (1) axon (2) nephron (3) neuron (4) yellow fiber

Last Answer : (2) nephron Explanation: Nephron is the basic structural and functional unit of the kidney. Its chief function is to regulate the concentration of water and soluble substances like sodium salts by filtering the blood, reabsorbing what is needed and excreting the rest as urine.

Description : (4) Fundamental unit of nervous system Explanation: A neuron is a cell that carries electrical impulses. Neurons are the basic units of the nervous system and its most important part is the brain. Every neuron is made of a cell body (also called a soma), dendrites and an axon.
