Visceral nervous system:
| 1. | is a part of PNS |
| 2. | is made up of Nerves, Fibres, Ganglia and Plexuses |
| 3. | transmits information from CNS to the viscera and viscera to CNS |
| 4. | All of the above |
Five events in the transmission of nerve impulse across the synapse:
| A. | Opening of specific ion channels allows the entry of ions, a new action potential is generated in the post-synaptic neuron |
| B. | Neurotransmitter binds to the receptor on post-synaptic membrane. |
| C. | Synaptic vesicle fuses with pre-synaptic membrane, neurotransmitter releases into synaptic cleft |
| D. | Depolarization of pre-synaptic membrane |
| E. | Arrival of an action potential at the axon terminal |
In which sequence do these events occur?
| 1. | E → D → C → B → A |
| 2. | A → B → C → D → E |
| 3. | A → B → D → C → E |
| 4. | E → D → C → A → B |
The regions neither clearly sensory nor motor in function in CNS are
| 1. | Association area |
| 2. | Ascending area |
| 3. | Descending area |
| 4. | Axonal area |
| A | B | C | |
| 1. | Cerebellum | Medulla | Pons |
| 2. | Cerebrum | Medulla | Pons |
| 3. | Cerebrum | Pons | Olfactory lobe |
| 4. | Corpus callosum | Cerebrum | Medulla |
| I: | The resting axonal membrane is relatively more permeable to potassium ions and nearly impermeable to sodium ions. |
| II: | Sodium-potassium pump transports 3 Na+ outwards for 2 K+ into the cell. |
| 1. | Only I | 2. | Only II |
| 3. | Both I and II | 4. | Neither I nor II |
| 1. | Impulse Transmission across a chemical synapse is always faster than that across an electrical synapse. |
| 2. | The membranes of presynaptic and postsynaptic neurons are in close proximity in an electrical synapse. |
| 3. | Electrical current can flow directly from one neuron into the other across the electrical synapse. |
| 4. | Chemical synapses use neurotransmitters. |
Which of the following neurons are usually found in the embryonic stage?
| 1. | Multipolar | 2. | Unipolar |
| 3. | Bipolar | 4. | Pseudounipolar |
A diagram showing axon terminal and synapse is given. Identify correctly A-D:
| 1. | A | Receptor | C | Synaptic vesicles |
| 2. | B | Synaptic connection | D | K+ |
| 3. | A | Neurotransmitter | B | Synaptic cleft |
| 4. | C | Neurotransmitter | D | Ca2+ |
Vomiting is generally preceded by increased salivation, sweating, faster heart beat and a feeling of nausea. It is a complex reflex coordinated by the vomiting centre in the
1. Hypothalamus
2. Medulla of the brain
3. Somatosensory area
4. Motor area of the brain
