Afferent nerve fibre carries impulses from

Read the following statement : (A) Peripheral nervous system divide's in somatic nervous system & autonomic nervous system. (B) Central nervous system includes brain & vertebral column, (C) Afferent nerve fibre transmit impulse from CNS and vise versa is also correct. How many of above statements is/are false

Nerve fibres conduct impulses in

Assertion :- In a myelinated nerve fibre the impulse jumps from one node of Ranvier to the other. Reason:- Exchange of ions takes place only at node of Ranvier.

Nerve impulse

Assertion :- Speed of nerve impulse is faster on medullated nerve fibres, than non medulated nerve fibres. Reason:- In medullated nerve fibres nerve impulses are conducted in a saltatory manner.

The human neural system consists of central neural system (CNS) and peripheral neural system (PNS), how many statements correct for human neural system? i. The CNS includes the brain and the spinal cord ii. The PNS comprises of all the nerves of the body associated with the CNS iii. PNS consist of cranial nerve and spinal nerve iv. The PNS is divided into two divisions called somatic neural system and autonomic neural system v. The efferent nerve fibres of PNS transmit impulses from tissues/organs to the CNS vi. Afferent fibres of PNS transmit regulatory impulses from the CNS to the concerned peripheral tissues/organs.

The nerve fibres transmit impulse from tissue/organs to the CNS and the nerve fibres transmit regulatory impulse from the CNS to the concerned peripheral tissue/organ.
