Read the given passage in which some words are italicised and answer the following questions.
The nervous tissue consists of special nerve cell called cyton. The cell is divided into axon and neuron. The cyton has thread-like structures extending from it called X. The axon ends into terminal branches that form a Y with other nerve cells.
Select the correct statement regarding the italicised words.

A

Cyton and axon should be interchanged.

B

Neuron should be replaced by dendrites.

C

The positions of cyton and neuron should be interchanged.

D

All of these

The correct Answer is:
To answer the question based on the provided passage, we need to analyze the italicized words and their relationships. Let's break down the information step by step: ### Step 1: Identify the Key Terms The italicized words in the passage are: - Cyton - Axon - Neuron - X (which refers to a structure extending from the cyton) - Y (which refers to the terminal branches that form connections with other nerve cells) ### Step 2: Understand the Definitions 1. **Cyton**: This is the cell body of the neuron, containing the nucleus and organelles. 2. **Axon**: This is a long, thread-like structure that transmits impulses away from the cyton to other neurons or muscles. 3. **Neuron**: This is the general term for nerve cells, which includes the cyton, axon, and dendrites. 4. **X**: Refers to the thread-like structures extending from the cyton, which are actually called **dendrites**. 5. **Y**: Refers to the terminal branches of the axon that connect with other neurons. ### Step 3: Analyze the Statements Now, we need to evaluate the statements regarding the italicized words: - The passage incorrectly states that the cyton is divided into axon and neuron. The correct relationship is that the neuron consists of the cyton, axon, and dendrites. - The passage refers to the thread-like structures extending from the cyton as X, which should be identified as dendrites. - The terminal branches of the axon connect with other neurons, which is correctly described as forming synapses. ### Step 4: Determine the Correct Statement From the analysis, we can conclude that: - The correct relationship is that the cyton is part of the neuron, and the axon is a separate structure that transmits signals away from the cyton. - The thread-like structures extending from the cyton are dendrites, not axons. Thus, the correct statement regarding the italicized words is that the terms are misused in the passage, and the correct identification of X and Y is necessary. ### Final Answer The correct answer is option 3: "The position of the Cyton and Neurons should be interchanged." ---
