What is the function of nerve cells?

  1. Nerve cells receive messages from different parts of the body.

  2. Nerves transfer the messages to the brain.

  3. Brain send commands for the functioning of different organs of the body via nerves.

  4. All of the above.
Reveal answer Fill a bubble to check yourself
D Correct answer
Explanation

Nerve cells carry out different function as, to receive the message from within or outside of the body, to transfer the messages from body part to the brain, to carry the signal from the brain to different parts of the body. Thus nerve cell helps the brain in control and coordination of the body.
Therefore, option D is correct.

Most of the human neurons are

  1. Multipolar

  2. Bipolar

  3. Unipolar

  4. Pseudo-unipolar
Reveal answer Fill a bubble to check yourself
A Correct answer
Explanation

a) Multipolar neurons have more than two processes emanating from the neuron cell body. They are mainly located in central nervous system and are most common type of human neurons.

b) Bipolar neurons are relatively rare. They are sensory neurons found in olfactory epithelium, the retina of the eye, and ganglia of the vestibulocochlear nerve.
c) A unipolar neuron is a type of neuron in which only one protoplasmic process (neurite) extends from the cell body. 
d) Pseudounipolar neurons have an axon that is split into two different branches, one running into the periphery while the other running into the spinal cord. It is different from a conventional unipolar neuron because it lacks a separate dendritic process
So, the correct answer is 'Multipolar'

Unipolar nerve cell means _______________.

  1. Nerve cell with one dendron

  2. Nerve cell with many dendrons

  3. Nerve cell without dendron

  4. None of the above
Reveal answer Fill a bubble to check yourself
C Correct answer
Explanation
  • Unipolar nerve cell means Nerve cell without dendron. They have only one structure extending from the soma(cell body).
  • Unipolar neurons are common in insects, where the cell body is often located at the periphery of the brain and is electrically inactive.
  • Hence Unipolar nerve cell means Nerve cell without dendron.
  • So, the correct answer is 'Nerve cell without dendron'.

Which system transmits impulses between different parts of the body?

  1. Musculoskeletal system

  2. Endocrine system

  3. Circulatory System

  4. Nervous system

  5. Reproductive system
Reveal answer Fill a bubble to check yourself
D Correct answer
Explanation

A complex network of nerve cells or neurons forms the nervous system. This system is responsible for transmitting electrical impulses throughout the body.

So, the correct answer is 'Nervous system'.

The nerves that carry the messages towards the CNS from sense organs are __________.

  1. Afferent neurons

  2. Efferent neurons

  3. Interneurons

  4. none of the above
Reveal answer Fill a bubble to check yourself
A Correct answer
Explanation
A. Neurons that receive information from our sensory organs (e,g. eye, skin) and transmit this input to the central nervous system (CNS) are called afferent neurons.
B. Neurons that send impulses from the CNS to our limbs and organs are called efferent neurons.
C. Interneurons create neural circuits, enabling communication between sensory or motor neurons and the CNS.
So, the correct answer is 'Afferent neurons'.

Neural proteins are mainly synthesized in__________

  1. Cell body of neuron

  2. Axon

  3. Dendrites

  4. Synapses
Reveal answer Fill a bubble to check yourself
C Correct answer
Explanation

  • The human body is made up of trillions of cells. Cells of the nervous system called nerve cells or neurons, are specialized to carry "messages" through an electrochemical process. Neurons carry out basic cellular processes such as protein synthesis and energy production.
  • Protein synthesis in the extensions of nerve cells, called dendrites, Local protein synthesis in dendrites, not in the cell body of nerves, provides the ability to respond rapidly and selectively to external stimuli. 

So the answer is 'Dendrites'.

Largest number of cell bodies of neuron in our body are found in the_________.

  1. Retina

  2. Spinal cord

  3. Brain

  4. Tongue
Reveal answer Fill a bubble to check yourself
C Correct answer
Explanation
The largest number of cell bodies of neurons in our body is found in the brain.
The human brain is the main organ of the human nervous system. It is located in the head, protected by the skull. It has the same general structure as the brains of other mammals, but with a more developed cerebral cortex.
The human brain is composed of neurons, glial cells, and blood vessels.

Which one is unrelated?

  1. Ca muscle contraction

  2. I thyroid

  3. Co energy liberation

  4. Cl nerve conduction
Reveal answer Fill a bubble to check yourself
D Correct answer
Explanation

Calcium is involved in muscle contraction, Iodine is essential for thyroid function, and Cobalt is part of Vitamin B12 (energy metabolism). Chlorine is an electrolyte, but the pairing 'Cl - nerve conduction' is less specific or standard compared to the other biological roles listed.
