Assertion : All of the cranial nerves are said to be mixed nerves.
Reason : All cranial nerves carry both sensory and motor nerve fibres simultaneously.
Assertion : Nerve impulse can never be transmitted from dendrite or cell body of one neuron to the axon of the next neuron, across a synapse.
Reason : This happens because of the synaptic delay at each synapse.
Assertion : Motor neuron terminates on a motor endplates at the neuromuscular junction.
Reason : Motor end plate acts as receptor for detecting changes in the muscle fibres.
