Synapse

Excitatory postsynaptic potential (EPSP) is caused by:

Pick C: Depolarization of postsynaptic membrane. Thinking about Synapse in a practical way — what the structure does, or what the process achieves — leads you here. Clinically and academically, the same logic shows up again and again: cause and effect line up with Depolarization of postsynaptic membrane — that is the mechanism or reason the stem is pointing to. Hence Depolarization of postsynaptic membrane is correct. Treat this as a building block for the rest of Synapse; neighbouring topics often reuse the same principle. Keep a one-line summary card for this idea and revisit it before the paper; short, repeated review beats long cramming sessions.

Synapse

Synaptic delay in chemical synapse is approximately:

Go with B — 0.5 msec. Within Synapse, that statement lines up with the standard definition and the usual exam wording you’ll see. In plain terms, 0.5 msec is the option that correctly names the structure, process, or principle asked for in Synapse. Holding that picture in mind makes 0.5 msec feel natural rather than something you only memorise. Link the term to a real body example (organ, tissue, or ion flow) so the idea stays concrete under exam pressure. A short mental diagram helps — start from stimulus or structure, follow the pathway, and stop at the functional result described by 0.5 msec. In class notes, highlight this same phrase next to the related diagram so the wording and the picture reinforce each other.
