Question 11. Pons, cerebellum and medulla together constitute the_________.
  1.    forebrain
  2.    midbrain
  3.    hindbrain
  4.    hypothalamus
 Discuss Question
Answer: Option C. -> hindbrain
:
C
The hindbrain, also called rhombencephalon, comprises pons, cerebellum, and medulla (also called the medulla oblongata). Most of the 12 cranial nerves are also found in the hindbrain. The cranial nerves are 12 pairs of nerves that pass through small holes at the base of the skull. These nerves are responsible for carrying information and connecting the brain to different parts of the body (sensory organs, motors, muscles, organs, etc.,)
Pons, Cerebellum And Medulla Together Constitute The________... Parts of Hind brain
Question 12. The area of the brain along with thalamus, which acts as an emotional centre to controls memory, learning, motivation, sexual arousal and pleasure is
  1.    Diencephalon
  2.    Cerebrum
  3.    Hypothalamus
  4.    Limbic system
 Discuss Question
Answer: Option D. -> Limbic system
:
D
The inner part of the cerebral hemispheres and a group of associated deep structures like amygdala , hippocampus etc. form a complex structure called the limbic lobe or limbic system. Along with the hypothalamus, it is involved in the regulation of sexual behaviour, expression of emotional reactions (excitement, pleasure, rage and fear) and motivation.
Question 13. Control of reflex action is through
  1.    Autonomous nervous system
  2.    Peripheral nervous system
  3.    Central nervous system
  4.    All of them
 Discuss Question
Answer: Option C. -> Central nervous system
:
C
There are two kinds of reflexes - spinal reflexes and brain reflexes. Both the reflexes are hence controlled by the central nervous system which comprises the brain and the spinal cord.
The central nervous system (CNS) controls most functions of the body and mind.
- The brain is the center of our thoughts, emotions and sensations,the interpreter of our external environment, and the origin of control over body movement.
-The spinal cord is the highway for communication between the body and the brain.
Reflex actions occur both from the brain and spinal cord. Most often these actions are mainly formed from the spinal cord. When sudden responses are required, instructions are given by the spinal cord itself.
Question 14. An action potential is caused by an influx of _____ ions into the cell.
  1.    Sodium
  2.    Both Potassium and Sodium
  3.    Potassium
  4.    Calcium
 Discuss Question
Answer: Option A. -> Sodium
:
A
When a nerve fibre is stimulated, the permeability of membrane to Na+ is greatly increased at the point of stimulus (rapid influx of Na+) and hence polarity of membrane is reversed and now membrane is said to be depolarized.
1. The electric potential difference across the plasma membrane at that site is called action potential, which in fact termed as nerve impulse.
2. Depolarization is very rapid, so that conduction of nerve impulse along the entire length of axon occurs in fractions of second.
3. Depolarization is followed by the increase in membrane permeability of K+ which leads to change in polarization i.e. +ve charge outside and –ve charge inside. It is called repolarization.
Question 15. Which of the following is a part of the peripheral nervous system?
  1.    Sensory pathway
  2.    Autonomic nervous system
  3.    Somatic nervous system
  4.    A,B and C
 Discuss Question
Answer: Option D. -> A,B and C
:
D
The peripheral nervous system (PNS) includes the sensory pathway and the motor pathway. The PNS is also subdivided as the voluntary or Somatic nervous system and the involuntary or the Autonomic nervous systems.
Question 16. Statoreceptors are concerned with
  1.    Equilibrium
  2.    Pain
  3.    Light
  4.    Sound
 Discuss Question
Answer: Option A. -> Equilibrium
:
A
Statoreceptors are responsible for the reception of stimuli governing equilibration and orientation in space.
Question 17. Nerve which carries nerve impulse from tissue to central nervous system is called
  1.    Afferent
  2.    Efferent
  3.    Motor
  4.    Mixed
 Discuss Question
Answer: Option A. -> Afferent
:
A
In theperipheral nervous system, an afferent nerve fiber is the axon of an afferent sensory neuron. It is a long process extending far from thenerve cell bodythat carries nerve impulses from sensory receptors or sense organs toward thecentral nervous system.
Question 18. Respiratory system is regulated by
  1.    Hypothalamus
  2.    Cerebellum
  3.    Medulla ablongata
  4.    Olfactory nerves
 Discuss Question
Answer: Option C. -> Medulla ablongata
:
C
Therespiratorycenters (RCs) are located in the medulla oblongata and pons, which arepartsof the brainstem. The RCs receive controlling signals of neural, chemical and hormonal nature andcontrolthe rate and depth ofrespiratorymovements of the diaphragm and otherrespiratorymuscles.
Question 19. Human nervous system is composed of
  1.    CNS
  2.    PNS
  3.    ANS
  4.    All of these
 Discuss Question
Answer: Option D. -> All of these
:
D
In humans, nervous system it consists of two main parts, thecentral nervous system(CNS) and theperipheral nervous system(PNS). The CNS contains thebrainandspinal cord. The PNS consists mainly ofnerves, which are enclosed bundles of the long fibers oraxons, that connect the CNS to every other part of the body. The PNS is divided into a) somatic and b) autonomic nervous system.
Question 20. Which of the following is the symptom of cataract?
  1.    Inflammation
  2.    Opaque lens
  3.    Increase of intraocular pressure
  4.    Irregular curvature of lens
 Discuss Question
Answer: Option B. -> Opaque lens
:
B
Acataractis a clouding of the lens in the eye leading to a decrease in vision. It can affect one or both eyes. Often it develops slowly.
