A person entering an empty room suddenly finds a snake, right in front, on opening the door. Which one of the following is likely to happen in his neurohormonal control system?
1. Sympathetic nervous system is activated, releasing epinephrine and norepinephrine from adrenal medulla
2. Neurotransmitters diffuse rapidly across the cleft and transmit a nerve impulse
3. Hypothalamus activates the parasympathetic division of brain

Unidirectional transmission of a nerve impulse through nerve fibre is due to the fact that
1. nerve fibre is insulated by a medullary sheath
2. sodium pump starts operating only at the cyton and then continues into the nerve fibre
3. neurotransmitters are released by dendrites and not by axon endings
4. neurotransmitters are released by the axon endings and not by dendrites.

Given below are two statements: one is labelled as Assertion (A) and the other is labelled as Reason (R): 
 

Assertion (A): Electrical synapses are faster but rare in human beings.
Reason (R): Electrical synapses contain gap junctions that allow electric
current to flow directly from one neuron to another.


In the light of the above statements choose the correct answer from the options given below:
 

1. Both (A) and (R) are true and (R) is the correct explanation of (A).
2. Both (A) and (R) are true but (R) is not the correct explanation of (A).
3. (A) is true but (R) is false.
