Multiple choice biology control and co-ordination in plants and animals voluntary and involuntary movements impulse and its transmission coordination in human beings- nervous control

Recently, a new device is innovated which allows brain to bypass spinal cord and can directly send signal to limbs and thus can allow movement of paralysed limbs. What kind of signals the device must be generating which controls these muscles?

  1. Thermal signals

  2. Electric signals

  3. Optical signals

  4. Chemical signals
Reveal answer Fill a bubble to check yourself
B Correct answer
Explanation

A new device referred as neurobridge, have been discovered that can by pass the signals from brain to the limbs with the help of electric signals. For the very first time, such device have been developed which helps to reconnect the brain directly to the muscles allowing voluntary and funcutional control of a paralyzed limb.

A nerve impulse leaves a neuron through the

  1. Dendrites

  2. Cyton

  3. Axon

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

For nerve impulses to be generated and carried, nerve cells should be in contact with each other. The nerve impulse is transmitted in the following sequence:  Axon end- synapse- dendrites- dendron- cyton- axon body- axon end. A nerve impulse travels in a form of electrical charge from axon end to the synapse. Here, the electrical impulse is converted to the chemical impulse in the synaptic cleft. Further this nerve impulse flows from synaptic cleft to dendritic tips, converting the chemical impulse to electrical impulse. Thus, the flow of impulse always flows from one axonal end of a neuron to another dendronal head of a neuron. So, the correct answer is option C.

Which of the following statement about a transmission of a nerve impulse is correct?

  1. Nerve impulse travels from dendritic end towards axonal end.

  2. A neuron transmits electrical impulses not only to another neuron but also to muscle and gland cells.

  3. The chemicals released from the axonal end of one neuron cross the synapse and generate a similar electrical impulse in a dendrite of another neuron.

  4. All of the above.

For nerve impulses to be generated and carried, nerve cells should be in contact with each other. The nerve impulse is transmitted in the following sequence: 
Axon end- synapse- dendrites- dendron- cyton- axon body- axon end. A nerve impulse travels in a form of electrical charge from axon end to the synapse.

  1. It contains fewer motor units than muscle B.

  2. It has larger sarcomeres than muscle B.

  3. IT is controlled by more neurons than muscle B.

  4. It is controlled by ewer neurons than muscle B.

Lactic acid is generally formed in very fast acting muscle but exceptional muscle is

  1. Muscles of Iris and pupil

  2. No exception is found

  3. Muscles of heart

  4. Muscles of jaw
Reveal answer Fill a bubble to check yourself
C Correct answer
Explanation

Cardiac muscle is exceptional because it continuously contracts rhythmically and relies entirely on aerobic metabolism, preventing the accumulation of lactic acid that causes fatigue in skeletal muscles. It contains abundant myoglobin and mitochondria to sustain continuous aerobic respiration.

Transmission of a nerve impulse across _____very similar to impulse conduction along axon.

  1. Ranvier's node

  2. Chemical synapse

  3. Electrical synapse

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

Electrical synapses allow action potentials to pass directly from one neuron to the next through gap junctions without the delay of neurotransmitter release, making the transmission very similar to continuous impulse conduction along a single axon.

Muscles cell are branched. 

  1. True

  2. False
Reveal answer Fill a bubble to check yourself
B Correct answer
Explanation

Cardiac muscle cells are branched, but skeletal muscle cells are cylindrical and unbranched. Since the question refers to muscle cells generally, the statement is false as it does not apply to all muscle types.

Multiple choice biology control and co-ordination in plants and animals voluntary and involuntary movements impulse and its transmission coordination in human beings- nervous control

Conduction of nerve impulse is 

  1. Faster in non-myelinated fibres

  2. Faster in myelinated fibres

  3. No difference in the rate of conduction in myelinated and non -myelinated fibres.

  4. None of the above
Reveal answer Fill a bubble to check yourself
B Correct answer
Explanation

Conduction of nerve impulse is faster in myelinated fibres as myelin is an insulating layer or sheath, that forms around nerves, including those in the brain and spinal cord which protect and insulates the axons thus enhance the transmission of electrical impulses.

So, the correct answer is option B.

Axon is characterised by

  1. Transformation of energy

  2. Receiving the impulse

  3. Providing energy for impulse

  4. Conduction of impulse
Reveal answer Fill a bubble to check yourself
D Correct answer
Explanation

Axon is the long slender part of the neuron. It conducts nerve impulse from the dendron towards the synapse. So, option D is the correct answer.

The gap between two neuron is _____

  1. 2-20 nm

  2. 25-30nm

  3. 150-200nm

  4. 50-60nm
Reveal answer Fill a bubble to check yourself
A Correct answer
Explanation

The gap between 2 neurons is called synapse. This signal between two neuron is passes when this synapse is filled with neurotransmitter. The size of the synapse ranges from 2-20 nm.
