Which of the following possesses nodes of Ranvier?

  1. Medullated nerve fibre

  2. Non-medullated nerve fibre

  3. Muscle fibre

  4. Medullated and non-medullated nerve fibres


Correct Option: A

Nissl granules found in cyton of a neuron and having affinity for basic dyes are composed of _________.

  1. DNA

  2. RNA

  3. Proteins

  4. Amino acids


Correct Option: B

In a neuron, Schwann cells occur in associated with ____________.

  1. Axon

  2. Soma

  3. Dendrite

  4. Axon hillock


Correct Option: A
Explanation:
Answer is option A i.e. "Axon"
Schwann cells cover the surface of all axons. Hence, Schwann cells are found in close contact with axons in the peripheral nerves. Schwann cells form the myelin sheath and are the main glial cells in the peripheral nervous system.

In medullated nerve fibre, nodes of Ranvier represent areas ______________.

  1. Swellings on axon

  2. Myelin sheath touches axon

  3. Swelling on cyton

  4. Depressions found on cyton


Correct Option: B

Nissl's granules are made of ______________.

  1. Ribosomes$/$RER

  2. SER

  3. DNA

  4. Golgi bodies


Correct Option: A

Nissl granules occur in _____________.

  1. Bone cells

  2. Mast cells

  3. Nerve cells

  4. Chondrocytes


Correct Option: C

Nodes of Ranvier occur in ____________.

  1. Cell body

  2. Right atrium

  3. Right ventricle

  4. Medullated nerve fibres


Correct Option: D

Which pair of structures distinguishes a nerve cell from other cells?

  1. Vacuole and fibres

  2. Nucleus and mitochondria

  3. Perikaryon and dendrites

  4. Flagellum and medullary sheath


Correct Option: C

Myelin sheath is formed from ______________.

  1. Nerve cells

  2. Glial cells

  3. Schwann cells

  4. None of the above


Correct Option: C

Which part of neuron is covered by fatty sheath?

  1. Axon

  2. Cyton

  3. Dendrite

  4. Node of Ranvier


Correct Option: A
