  2. 2, 3

  3. 3, 3

  4. 2, 2


Correct Option: C

Conduction of the nerve impulse occurs by

  1. the initiation of impulse

  2. its transmission along a nerve fibre

  3. its transfer to a target muscle

  4. its effect on the target nerve

  1. slow

  2. less

  3. more

  4. None of the above

Correct Option: B

Multipolar nerve cells are present in

  1. pyramidal cells in cerebral cortex

  2. retina of the eye

  3. dorsal root ganglion

  4. All of these


Correct Option: A
Explanation:

Multipolar neurons have one axon and two or more dendrites (i.e. more than two processes arise from cell body, hence multipolar). Cells of retina have bipolar neurons with one axon and one dendtrite (i.e. 2 processes in total, hence bipolar). Unipolar neurons have only an axon attached to the cell body and are usually found in the embryonic stage.

Correct Option: B
Explanation:

Ans - 3

  1. high, high

  2. high, low

  3. low, low

  4. low, high


Correct Option: D
Explanation:

Ans - 4

When interior of the cell is more negatively charged, the neuron is said to be

  1. at work

  2. at rest

  3. at charge

  4. None of the above
