    Which of the following is important for muscle contraction and nerve impulse transmission?

    A)  \[C{{a}^{2+}}ions\]

    B)  \[M{{g}^{2+}}ions\]

    C)  Both [a] and [b]

    D) Fe2+ions

    Correct Answer: A

    Solution :

     \[C{{a}^{2+}}\]is essential of muscle contraction, neutro-muscular   functions   and   nerve impulse transmission. During nerve impulse transmission, as an impulse arrives at a synaptic knob, calcium ions \[(C{{a}^{2+}})\] diffuse into the knobs from surrounding tissue fluid. \[C{{a}^{2+}}\]Trigger a process in which numerous synaptic vesicles fuse with the membrane of the knob and the areas of fusion break down; releasing the contents of vesicles into the fluid of synaptic clefts.
