Question

Sir John Eccles discovered that if a neuron was stimulated, a chemical substance was released into a synapse that caused a nearby neuron to allow the movement of sodium ions into the cell. In turn, this caused the charge of the internal membrane to increase and become more positive and an action potential became more likely to occur. This was a reversal of the electric charge.

True or False

Answer 1

Option- True

• The given statement, "Sir John Eccles discovered that if a neuron was stimulated, a chemical substance was released into a synapse that caused a nearby neuron to allow the movement of sodium ions into the cell. In turn, this caused the charge of the internal membrane to increase and become more positive and an action potential became more likely to occur. This was a reversal of the electric charge", is correct in all senses.

Step-by-step explanation:

1. As, the difference in chemical balance between the different neuron structures causes the synapses and thus with the help of chemicals or charge particles the message or information is sent from the initial point to its destination in order to analyze all the required information.
2. While, Sir John Eccles was a well known neurologist and research worker who perform various experiments on improving the knowledge regarding the human nerve system.
