During the transmission of nerve impulse through a nerve fibre, the potential on the inner side of the plasma membrane has which type of electric charge?

  1. First positive, then negative and continue to be negative

  2. First negative, then positive and continue to be positive

  3. First positive, then negative and again back to be positive

  4. First negative, then positive and again back to be negative


Correct Option: D
Explanation:

At resting potential (polarized phase), the inside of the plasma membrane is negatively charged ($-70$ mV). As the stimulus reaches, it becomes positively charges ($+45$ mV, depolarized phase). As impulse passes away, it regains its original ionic distribution and again becomes negatively charged.

A nerve impulse leaves a neuron through the

  1. Dendrites

  2. Cyton

  3. Axon

  4. Nucleus


Correct Option: C
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.

  1. Alpha

  2. Beta

  3. Delta

  4. Gamma


Correct Option: B
Explanation:

An electroencephalogram (EEG) is a test, that measures and records the electrical activity of the brain. Beta waves have a frequency of 13 to 30 cycles per second. These waves are normally found, when person is alert or have taken high doses of certain medicines, such as benzodiazepines.

When the direction of nerve impulse is reversed, the condition is

  1. Axo - Axonic synapse

  2. Axo - Dendritic synapse

  3. Both of the above

  4. None of the above


Correct Option: A
Explanation:

There are different forms of synapse depending on the position of the synapse. When the synapse occurs in the axon, the synapse is known as the axoaxonic synapse. The nerve impulse conduction takes place from one axon to the other axon. The nerve impulse is transferred from the axon of one neuron to the axon of the other neuron. In this process, the direction of nerve impulse is reversed from axon to dendron to the axon to axon. 

Thus,l the correct answer is option A. 

Waves emitted in brain during deep sleep is

Which of the following statements about the transmission of the nerve impulse is correct? 
(a) A nerve impulse travels from the dendritic end towards the axonal end.
(b) At the dendritic end, electrical impulses bring about the release of some chemicals which generate an electrical impulse at the axonal end of another neuron.
(c) 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.
(d) A neuron transmits electrical impulses not only to another neuron but also to muscle and gland cells.

  1. (a) and (c)

  2. (b) and (d)

  3. (a), (c) and (d)

  4. (b), (c) and (d)


Correct Option: C
Explanation:

A nerve impulse is a way nerve cells (neurons) communicate with one another. Nerve impulses are mostly electrical signals along the dendrites to produce a nerve impulse or action potential. The action potential is the result of ions moving in and out of the cell.
A nerve impulse travels from the dendritic end towards the axonal end. 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. A neuron transmits electrical impulses not only to another neuron but also to muscle and gland cells.

Therefore, the correct answer is option C.

Speed of nerve impulse in mammals is 

  1. 1 meter /sec

  2. 100 meter/sec

  3. 1000 meter /sec

  4. None of the above


Correct Option: B
Explanation:

Nerve impulses are conducted with great velocity. In mammalian nerve, the speed of conduction may be as high as 100 meters per second.

The rate at which a nerve impulse travels along a nerve fiber is dependent up on 

  1. Length of the nerve fibre

  2. Diameter of the nerve fibre

  3. Presence of connective tissue sheath

  4. None of the above


Correct Option: B
Explanation:

Increased axon diameter in axons leads to increase action potential velocity. As there is an increase in diameter of a fibre, its internal resistance decreases. The internal resistance decreases faster relative to the membrane resistance - therefore the distance the membrane potential can travel is increased by an increased diameter. So, the correct answer is option B.

If myelin sheath is continued in myelinated nerve fibre then what will happen in a neuronal conduction?

  1. Velocity will be increased.

  2. Conduction will be slow.

  3. Conduction will be stopped.

  4. No effect is seen.


Correct Option: C
Explanation:

Myelin is an insulating layer or sheath, that forms around nerves, including those in the brain and spinal cord. It is made up of protein and fatty substances. The purpose of the myelin sheath is to allow electrical impulses to transmit quickly and efficiently along the nerve cells. Nerve impulses cannot pass through the myelination, so they jump from one node of Ranvier to the next. If the whole nerve becomes myelinated then the conduction will be stopped.

The speed of nerve impulse depends on the diameter of the axon.
  1. True

  2. False


Correct Option: B
Explanation:

The speed with which the nerve impulse is conducted by axon is known as nerve conduction velocity. The speed of nerve conduction does not depend on the diameter of axon only rather it depends on the diameter of the nerve fibre. The diameter of nerve fibre is axon, neurilemma, and myelin sheath in myelinated axons while axon and neurilemma in unmyelinated fibre. Conduction velocity is high in myelinated nerve fibre with the greater diameter. So, the given statement is false.

The propagation of a nerve impulse is due to changes in the permeability of the nerve cell membrane that allow for a voltage difference across the membrane.

  1. True

  2. False


Correct Option: A
Explanation:

Neurons send messages through electrical impulses called as nerve impulses. The nerve impulse is due to the changes occurring across the cell membrane. Cell membranes contain a sodium-potassium pump. The concentration of sodium and potassium ions is different across the membrane. This difference causes a voltage difference between the inside of the neuron and its surroundings. This is called as the resting membrane potential. The membrane potential is always negative inside the cell. The sodium and potassium channels in the cells are voltage-gated, meaning they can open and close depending on the voltage across the membrane. During action potential, permeability of the nerve cell membrane changes for both sodium and potassium ions. During depolarization, there is influx of sodium ions which makes inside of the cell positive. Depolarization is followed by repolarization during which the outflux of potassium ions takes place which makes inside of the cell negative. The whole process results in the propagation of a nerve impulse.

Thus, the correct answer is option A.
