I: | Myelinated nerve fibres are enveloped with Schwann cells, which form a myelin sheath around the axon. |
II: | Unmyelinated nerve fibre is not enclosed by a Schwann cell or a myelin sheath. |
III: | Myelinated nerve fibres are found in spinal and cranial nerves. |
IV: | Unmyelinated nerve fibres are commonly found in autonomous and somatic neural systems. |
1. | Only II is incorrect | 2. | I and II are correct |
3. | III and IV are incorrect | 4. | All are correct |
Given below are two statements: one is labelled as Assertion (A) and the other is labelled as Reason (R):
Assertion (A): | Action potential propagation in unmyelinated neurons is faster than in myelinated neurons. |
Reason (R): | Myelin is a complex polysaccharide and it slows the conduction of the impulse along the axonal membrane. |
In the light of the above statements choose the correct answer from the options given below:
1. | Both (A) and (R) are True and (R) is the correct explanation of (A). |
2. | Both (A) and (R) are True but (R) is not the correct explanation of (A). |
3. | (A) is True but (R) is False. |
4. | Both (A) and (R) are False. |
Myelin sheath around the axons in the PNS is secreted by:

1. Dura mater | 2. Arachanoid mater |
3. Pia mater | 4. Grey matter |
