| 1. | Only I | 2. | Only II |
| 3. | Both I and II | 4. | Neither I nor II |
| Statement I: | The cerebral hemispheres are connected by a tract of nerve fibres called corpus striatum. |
| Statement II: | The layer of cells which covers the cerebral hemisphere is called cerebral cortex. |
| Statement I: | Dendrites transmit impulses towards the cell body of the neuron. |
| Statement II: | The axons transmit nerve impulses away from the cell body to a synapse or to a neuro-muscular junction. |
| I: | Afferent nerve fibres transmit impulses from tissues/organs to the central nervous system (CNS) |
| II: | Efferent fibres transmit regulatory impulses from the CNS to the concerned peripheral tissues/organs |
| 1. | Only I is correct | 2. | Only II is correct |
| 3. | Both I and II are correct | 4. | Both I and II are incorrect |
| Assertion (A): | Neurons are excitable cells. |
| Reason (R): | Their membranes are in a polarised state. |

| 2. | Both (A) and (R) are True and (R) correctly explains (A). |
| 3. | (A) is True but (R) is False. |
| 4. | (A) is False but (R) is True. |
| 1. | the passive transport of sodium and potassium ions through membrane channels. |
| 2. | the passive transport of sodium and chloride ions through membrane channels. |
| 3. | the active transport of ions by the sodium-potassium pump which transports 3 Na+ outwards for 2 K+ into the cell. |
| 4. | the active transport of ions by the sodium-chloride pump which transports 3 Na+ outwards for 2 Cl- into the cell. |
| Assertion (A): | Electrical synapses allow for faster transmission than chemical synapses. |
| Reason (R): | Electrical synapses are rare in our system. |
| 1. | Both (A) and (R) are True but (R) does not correctly explain (A). |
| 2. | Both (A) and (R) are True and (R) correctly explains (A). |
| 3. | (A) is True but (R) is False. |

| 1. | cerebrum | 2. | thalamus |
| 3. | hypothalamus | 4. | cerebellum |
| I: | are neither clearly sensory nor motor in function. |
| II: | are for complex functions like inter-sensory associations, memory and communication. |
