Which of the following sequences correctly represents the chronological order of events during synaptic transmission at a chemical synapse?
1. Arrival of action potential at presynaptic terminal → Binding of neurotransmitters to postsynaptic receptors → Release of neurotransmitters into the synaptic cleft → Opening of calcium channels
2. Arrival of action potential at presynaptic terminal → Opening of calcium channels → Release of neurotransmitters into the synaptic cleft → Binding of neurotransmitters to postsynaptic receptors
3. Binding of neurotransmitters to postsynaptic receptors → Opening of calcium channels → Arrival of action potential at presynaptic terminal → Release of neurotransmitters into the synaptic cleft

How many of the given statements are true?
I: The PNS is divided into two divisions called somatic neural system and autonomic neural system.
II: The somatic neural system relays impulses from the CNS to skeletal muscles while the autonomic neural system transmits impulses from the CNS to the involuntary organs and smooth muscles of the body.
III: The autonomic neural system is further classified into sympathetic neural system and parasympathetic neural system.
IV: Visceral nervous system is the part of the peripheral nervous system that comprises the whole complex of nerves, fibres, ganglia, and plexuses by which impulses travel from the central nervous system to the viscera and from the viscera to the central nervous system.
