Most sensory receptors function by producing depolarising potentials. Which of the following function by hyperpolarization rather than depolarization?
1. proprioceptors
2. nociceptors
3. olfactory receptors
4. rods and cones
Each time the sodium-potassium pump works, it transports:
1. three sodium ions to the outside and brings two potassium ions to the inside
2. two sodium ions to the outside and brings three potassium ions to the inside
3. three potassium ions to the outside and brings two sodium ions to the inside
4. two potassium ions to the outside and brings two potassium ions to the inside
The autonomic neural system relays impulse from the CNS to:
I: | skeletal muscles |
II: | smooth muscles |
III: | involuntary organs |
1. | I and II only | 2. | I and III only |
3. | II and III only | 4. | I, II and III |
In the human eye, there are three types of cones – red blue and green. When these cones are stimulated equally, a sensation for which of the following colors would be produced?
1. White | 2. Black |
3. Orange | 4. Yellow |
Most of the neurons in the cerebral cortex are:
1. | Unipolar | 2. | Bipolar |
3. | Multipolar | 4. | Pseudounipolar |
When a neuron is resting, the axonal membrane is comparatively:
1. More permeable to sodium ions than for potassium ions
2. More permeable to potassium ions than for sodium ions
3. Equally permeable for potassium and sodium ions
4. Impermeable to sodium and potassium ions
Nissl’s granules are seen in:
1. Only the cyton of the neuron
2. Only the axon of the neuron
3. Only in the cyton and dendrites of the neuron
4. In dendrites, cyton and axons of the neurons
A canal called the cerebral aqueduct passes through the:
1. Cerebral hemispheres | 2. Diencephalon |
3. Mid brain | 4. Hind brain |
From outside to inside, the correct sequence of cells in the inner layer of human retina will be:
1. Photoreceptor cells, Bipolar cells, Ganglion cells
2. Ganglion cells, Bipolar cells, Photoreceptor cells
3. Photoreceptor cells, Ganglion cells, Bipolar cells
4. Ganglion cells, Photoreceptor cells, Bipolar cells
