Which of the following statements are true?
(i) Sudden action in response to something in the environment is called reflex action
(ii) Sensory neurons carry signals from spinal cord to muscles.
(iii) Motor neurons carry signals from spinal cord to muscles.
(iv) The path through which signals are transmitted from a receptor to a muscle or a gland is called reflex arc.

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

The correct Answer is:
C
The (ii) statement is false as sensory neurons carry signals from receptors to spinal cord.
The (iii) statement is false as motor neurons carry signals from spinal cord to effectors.

Which of the following statements are true? (i) sudden action in respons to something in the environment is called reflex action (ii) sensory neurons carry electrical signals from spinal cord to muscles in a reflex action (iii) motor neurons carry signals from receptors to spinal cord in a reflex action (iv) the pathway of transmittin signals from a receptor to a muscle is a reflex action

Which of the following statement(s) is/are correct? I. Two transmitter substances in the nervous system are dopamine and acetylcholine II. Motor neurons convey information from receptors in the periphery to the CNS III. Somatic motor nerves innervate skeletal muscles and autonomic nerves innervate smooth muscle, cardiac muscle and glands

Which of the following statements about the mechanism of muscle contraction are correct ? (i) Acetylcholine is released when the neural signal reaches the motor end plate. Muscle contraction is initiated by a signal sent by CNS via sensory neuron. (iii) During muscle contraction, isotropic band gets elongated (iv) Repeated activation of the muscles can lead to lactic acid accumulation.

Which of the following statements is/are correct? I. Striped muscles are in the form of bundles of cells. II. The Pal muscle fibres, which are called fasciculi. III. Skeletal muscles form the largest tissue in the body. IV. Cardiac muscles in the embryo are originated from mesenchyma cell. Choose the option with the correct statement(s).

Which of the following statements are CORRECT ? I. A specialized center present in the medulla region of the brain called respiratory rhythm center is primarily responsible for the regulation of respiration. II. A Chemosensitive area is situated adjacent to the rhythm which is highly sensitive to O_2,CO_2 and hydrogen ions . III . Receptors associated with aortic arch and carotid artery also can recognize changes in CO_2 and H^+ concentration and send necessary signals to the rhythm center for remedial actions. IV The neural signal from the pneumatic center can increase the duration of inspiration and thereby alter the respiratory rate .

Which of the following statements given below are true with reference to muscle contraction. I. Neurotransmitter acetycholine is released as nerve impulse reaches the end of axon and binds to receptor sites of motor end plate. II. Action potential passes from motor end plate over sarcoplasmic and then into the T-tubules and sarcoplasmic reticulum. III. Calcium ion are released into the sarcoplasm bind to troponin, causing a change in its shape and position. IV. Myosin cross bridges are able to bind to exposed active sites of actin. Choose the correct option.

Which of the following statements is/are incorrect about the electrical synapse ? (i)At electrical synapses, the membranes of pre and post synaptic neurons are in very close proximity. (ii)Electricity current can flow directly from one neuron into the other across the synapses. (iii)Transmission of an inpulse across electrical synapses is very similar to impulse conduction along single axon. (iv)Electrical synapses pass electrical signal between cells with the use of Ach. (v)Electrical synapses are fast. (vi)Electrical synapses are rare in our system.
