When an action potential abruptly drops from positive to negative, this is because
1. potassium gates are inactivated and sodium gates are opened.
2. sodium gates are inactivated and potassium gates are opened.
3. both potassium and sodium gates are inactivated.
4. both potassium and sodium gates are opened.

In an electrical synapse, how is the nerve impulse transmitted between neurons?
1. By releasing neurotransmitters across the synaptic cleft
2. Through the direct movement of ions via gap junctions
3. By synaptic vesicles fusing with the postsynaptic membrane
4. Through saltatory conduction at the nodes of Ranvier.
