The correct Answer is:
To solve the question "Mark the correct statement," we will analyze each of the provided statements one by one to determine which one is correct. ### Step-by-Step Solution: 1. **Evaluate the First Statement:** - **Statement:** "Electrical synapses are more common in our neural system than chemical synapses." - **Analysis:** This statement is incorrect. In the human nervous system, chemical synapses are more prevalent than electrical synapses. - **Conclusion:** This statement is false. 2. **Evaluate the Second Statement:** - **Statement:** "The new potential in post-synaptic neuron may be either excitatory or inhibitory." - **Analysis:** This statement is correct. When neurotransmitters bind to receptors on the post-synaptic neuron, they can lead to either an excitatory post-synaptic potential (EPSP) or an inhibitory post-synaptic potential (IPSP). - **Conclusion:** This statement is true. 3. **Evaluate the Third Statement:** - **Statement:** "Hypothalamus is the major coordination center for the sensory and the motor signaling." - **Analysis:** This statement is incorrect. The thalamus serves as the major relay and coordination center for sensory and motor signaling, not the hypothalamus. - **Conclusion:** This statement is false. 4. **Evaluate the Fourth Statement:** - **Statement:** "The track of nerve fibers that connect to cerebral hemispheres are called corpula by Gemina." - **Analysis:** This statement is incorrect. The correct term for the structure that connects the two cerebral hemispheres is "corpus callosum," not "corpula by Gemina." - **Conclusion:** This statement is false. ### Final Conclusion: - The only correct statement among the options provided is the second statement: "The new potential in post-synaptic neuron may be either excitatory or inhibitory."
