Consider the following statements:
I: | Acetylcholine is released at the electrical synapse. |
II: | Electrical synapses are faster. |
III: | It is more difficult to regulate an electrical synapse with respect to a chemical synapse. |
Which of the above statements are true?
1. I and II only
2. I and III only
3. II and III only
4. I, II, and III
Identify the correct statement regarding the following diagram:
1. B and F are filled with endolymph
2. C is filled with perilymph
3. Hair cells press against E to generate nerve impulses
4. D is the sensory organ of hearing and has auditory receptors
In the resting state of the neural membrane, diffusion due to concentration gradients, if allowed would drive
1. K+ into the cell
2. Na+ into the cell
3. Na+ out of the cell
4. K+ and Na+ out of the cell

An axon has 4 terminal ends connected with dendrites of four different neurons. Its nerve impulse will
1. Become weak due to distribution into four
2. Travel in all the four neurons with equal strength
3. Pass on to one neuron only
4. Travel to none because the movement of impulse is from dendrite to axon
Third ventricle lies in
1. Medulla oblongata
2. Midbrain
3. Diencephalon
4. Cerebrum
Assertion (A): | The resting membrane potential in a neuron is much closer to the equilibrium potential of K+ ions than it is to equilibrium potential of Na+ ions. |
Reason (R): | While potassium is the principal cation in the intracellular fluid, sodium is the principal cation in the extracellular fluid. |
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. |
Assertion (A): | Once initiated, the action potential has a magnitude that is independent of the strength of the triggering stimulus. |
Reason (R): | Action potentials are all or none responses to stimuli. |
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. |
Assertion: The smaller the size of an axon the higher will be its conduction velocity.
Reason: The smaller the size of an axon the lesser is the resistance to current flow.
1. Both assertion and reason are true and the reason is the correct explanation of the assertion.
2. Both assertion and reason are true but the reason is not the correct explanation of the assertion.
3. Assertion is true but reason is false.
4. Both assertion and reason are false
Given below are two statements: one is labelled as Assertion (A) and the other is labelled as Reason (R):
Assertion (A): | Electrical synapses are faster but rare in human beings. |
Reason (R): | Electrical synapses contain gap junctions that allow electric current to flow directly from one neuron to another. |
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. |
