Multiple choice biology life processes: control and coordination nervous system in animals structure of neuron structure and function of neuron

The word synapse was coined in 

  1. 1897

  2. 1997

  3. 1797

  4. 1957
Reveal answer Fill a bubble to check yourself
A Correct answer
Explanation

The term synapse was first introduced in 1897 by neurophysiologist Charles Sherrington. The gap between two neurons across which impulses are conducted is known as a synapse. Synapse is a structure that permits a neuron to pass an electrical or chemical signal to another cell. It is important for neuronal function. 
Thus, the correct answer is option A.

A place where a signal passes from one nerve cell to next is described as 

  1. Synaptic cleft

  2. Synapsis

  3. Synapse

  4. Symport movement

Which of the following is the component of the synapse?

  1. Presynaptic component

  2. Postsynaptic component

  3. Both A and B

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

The gap between two neurons across which impulses are conducted is known as a synapse. The presynaptic is the region of the axonic end of one neuron and the post synaptic is the dendritic end of the other neuron. It is a structure that permits a neuron to pass an electrical or chemical signal to another cell and acts as a communication point between the neuron and the target organ. 
Thus, the correct answer is option C.

The point of communication and target cell is

  1. Synapse

  2. Nodes of Ranvier

  3. Dendrites

  4. Sense organs

A Correct answer
Explanation

The gap between two neurons across which impulses are conducted is known as a synapse. The presynaptic is the region of the axonic end of one neuron and the post synaptic is the dendritic end of the other neuron. It is a structure that permits a neuron to pass an electrical or chemical signal to another cell and acts as a communication point between the neuron and the target organ. It is important for neuronal function. The nerve impulses are transmitted and received with the help of this regions. 
Thus, the correct answer is option A.

Presynaptic ending contains 

  1. Mitochondria

  2. Lysosomes

  3. Centrioles

  4. All of the above
Reveal answer Fill a bubble to check yourself
A Correct answer
Explanation
  • The synapse consists of :
1) presynaptic ending that contains neurotransmitters, and supporting cell organelles like mitochondria and endoplasmic reticulum. 
2) postsynaptic ending contains receptor sites for neurotransmitters. and 3)synaptic cleft is the space between the presynaptic and postsynaptic endings.
The function of mitochondria in presynaptic endings is the calcium homeostasis.
  • Hence Presynaptic ending contains Mitochondria.
  • So, the correct answer is 'Mitochondria'.

Synapse is......

  1. Crossing over between nonhomologous chromosomes

  2. Pairing of homologous chromosomes

  3. Junction between axon and dendrite of two different neurons

  4. Zigzag junction in cardiac muscle fibres
Reveal answer Fill a bubble to check yourself
C Correct answer
Explanation

A synapse is defined as the junction between the axon of one neuron and the dendrite of another, facilitating the transmission of nerve impulses.

Multiple choice biology life processes: control and coordination nervous system in animals structure of neuron structure and function of neuron

Which of the following options correctly described the sequence of structures present between a receptor and an effector when D refers dendrite, A refers axon, S refers synapse and CB refers to cell body?

  1. D - CB - A - S - D - CB - A

  2. A -D - CB - S - A - D - CB

  3. D - CB - A - S - A - CB - D

  4. D - A - S - CB - D - A - CB
Reveal answer Fill a bubble to check yourself
A Correct answer
Explanation

Information in a neuron travels from dendrites to the cell body, then down the axon to the synapse, where it passes to the dendrites of the next neuron. The sequence D-CB-A-S-D-CB-A correctly represents this flow.
