STANDARD Zoology Nerve Impulse Transmission Multiple Correct Question

Type: Multiple Correct-conceptual-Medium-Class 11

Which of the following statement are correct and incorrect

  1. Synaptic cleft of neurons secrete adrenaline
  2. Myelinated nerve fibres are enveloped with Schwann cells, which form a myelin sheath around the axon
  3. Non-myelinated nerve fibre is enclosed by a Schwann cell that does not form a myelin sheath
  4. Spinal cord and cranial nerves are made of nonmyelinated nerve fibres of the four statements
A

1,2 are correct but 3 and 4 are incorrect

B

1,2 and 3 are correct but 4 is incorrect

C

3 and 4 are correct but 1 and 2 are incorrect

D

2 and 3 are correct while 1 and 4 are incorrect

Correct Answer

Option D

Detailed Explanation

  • Synaptic cleft of neurons secrete acetylcholine.
  • Myelinated neuron is formed by Schwann cells that function as insulator so that nerve impulse jump from node to node.
  • Non-myelinated neuron does not form a myelin sheath. Thus it has slower continuous conduction.
  • Spinal cord and cranial nerves are made up of myelinated nerve fibres.
