Consider the following statements:
I: | Impulses travel by the visceral nervous system from the CNS to the viscera and from the viscera to the CNS. |
II: | Impulses travel by the autonomic nervous system from the CNS to the involuntary organs and smooth muscles of the body. |
1. Only I is correct
2. Only II is correct
3. Both I and II are correct
4. Both I and II are incorrect

When a neuron is resting, the axonal membrane is relatively more permeable to potassium ions and nearly impermeable to sodium ions. This would mean that:
1. in resting conditions, all sodium channels in the axonal membrane are closed while few potassium channels are open
2. in resting conditions, the electrogenic sodium-potassium pump will pump only the sodium ions
3. in resting conditions, the electrogenic sodium-potassium pump will pump only the potassium ions
4. in resting conditions, the outer surface of the axonal membrane will carry a negative charge
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 |
All the following statements regarding nerve impulse conduction are correct except:
1. Myelinated neurons have a higher conduction velocity than unmyelinated neurons.
2. Nerve impulses occur in an all-or-none manner.
3. The neuron cannot be stimulated during the depolarization phase.
4. The strength of impulses carried along a single nerve fiber can vary with the strength of their stimulus.
Branched protoplasmic extensions of a nerve cell that propagate the electrochemical stimulation received from other neural cells to the cell body, or soma, of the neuron are the:
1. | axons | 2. | axon hillocks |
3. | axon collaterals | 4. | dendrites |
