Brainstem: The Support System of Brain
The brainstem is the lower part of the brain that connects the brain to the spinal cord. It is responsible for regulating important functions such as breathing, heart rate, blood pressure, and consciousness. The brainstem consists of three main parts, which are:
Medulla
The medulla oblongata, or simply the medulla, is the lowest part of the brainstem. It controls involuntary functions such as breathing, heartbeat, and digestion. The medulla also contains reflex centers for coughing, sneezing, and vomiting.
Pons
The pons is the middle part of the brainstem, located above the medulla and below the midbrain. It is involved in the regulation of sleep, respiration, and posture. The pons also helps to relay messages between different parts of the brain.
Midbrain
The midbrain, also known as the mesencephalon, is the uppermost part of the brainstem. It is involved in the regulation of vision, hearing, and movement. The midbrain contains several important structures, including the substantia nigra, which produces dopamine and is involved in the control of movement.
Conclusion
In conclusion, the brainstem is the support system of the brain and is responsible for regulating vital functions. It consists of three main parts, which are the medulla, pons, and midbrain. The medulla controls involuntary functions such as breathing and heartbeat, the pons is involved in the regulation of sleep and posture, and the midbrain is responsible for vision, hearing, and movement.

Muskaan Basak answered |
Once the events of depolarization have occurred, a nerve impulse or spike is initiated. Action potential is another name of nerve impulse. It lasts about 1 msec (millisecond). The stimulalted, negatively charged point on the outside of the membrane sends out an electrical current to the positive point (still polarized adjacent to it). This local current causes the adjacent inner part of the membrane to reverse its potential from –70 mV to +30 mV. The reversal repeats itself over and over until the nerve impulse is conducted through the length of the neuron

Aman Sharma answered |
The primary function of the hypothalamus is homoeostasis, which is to maintain the body's normal temperature and body's status. So, if there is an injury to the hypothalamus, the thermoregulatory centre is disturbed resulting in a deregulation of body temperature. So, the correct answer is option D.

Riya Banerjee answered |
The pia mater of the brain is the innermost of the three membranes, that cover it. It is the vascular membrane of the brain. It carries the minute branches of the two internal carotids and the two vertebral arteries. It also returns the blood to the heart. The dura mater is the most external membrane of the brain. It forms the internal periosteum of the skull. The dura mater is a dense, tough, inelastic fibrous membrane. The epidermis contains no blood vessels, and cells in the deepest layers are nourished by diffusion from blood capillaries extending to the upper layers of the dermis. So, the correct answer is option B.

Total sum of physio-electrochemical changes that takes place along the length of nerve fibre is known as nerve impulse. Change in potential due to stimulation of nerve fibre is called action potential. During propagation of nerve impulse, Na⁺ enters inside so(+ve) change is formed inside the membrane. K⁺ ions come out.

Vivek Patel answered |
Action potential is a change in electrical potential that occurs across a plasma membrane during the passage of a nerve impulse. During this period, there is a localized and translent switch in electric potential across the membrane from -70 mV to +45 mV. It is due to the fact that the sodium channels open and the potassium channels remain closed. As a result, sodium channels permit the influx of Na+ by diffusion from extracellular fluid to intracellular fluid.

Understanding the Sequence of Events
In the context of neuronal action potentials and membrane permeability, the sequence of events following a stimulus is crucial. Here's the breakdown of the correct order:
1. Rise in Stimulus-Induced Permeability
- The initial step involves a rise in membrane permeability to specific ions.
- This permeability change is often triggered by a stimulus, such as neurotransmitter release or mechanical stimulation.
2. Diffusion of Potassium Ions
- After the permeability to sodium ions increases, potassium ion channels may also open.
- Potassium ions will begin to diffuse out of the cell, contributing to the repolarization phase of the action potential.
3. Restoring Resting Membrane Potential (RMP)
- As potassium ions exit the neuron, the membrane potential begins to return to its resting state.
- This restoration occurs as the cell becomes less positive inside, eventually stabilizing at the RMP.
4. Rise in Permeability to Sodium Ions
- Initially, the permeability rises for sodium ions, allowing them to enter the neuron.
- This influx of sodium causes depolarization, leading to the action potential spike.
Conclusion
- Therefore, the correct order of events is: Rise in stimulus-induced permeability (to sodium), diffusion of potassium ions, restoring RMP, and finally, the impact of sodium ion permeability.
- Hence, the correct sequence is option 'c': b-a-d-c.
Understanding this sequence is key in grasping how neurons communicate and respond to stimuli, especially during action potentials.

Understanding the Role of CNS and PNS in Physical Exercise
During intense physical exercise, the coordination between the central nervous system (CNS) and peripheral nervous system (PNS) is vital for maintaining homeostasis and ensuring efficient body function.
Functions of the CNS
- The CNS is responsible for processing sensory information from various sources, including muscles and organs.
- It generates appropriate motor responses by sending efferent impulses to skeletal muscles, facilitating movement.
- The CNS integrates feedback from the body to adjust physiological responses during exercise, ensuring that the body can meet the demands of physical activity.
Functions of the PNS
- The PNS serves as a communication network between the CNS and the rest of the body.
- It transmits afferent impulses from the organs (like the heart and lungs) back to the CNS, providing critical feedback on the body’s state during exercise.
- The PNS also carries efferent signals to involuntary organs, regulating heart rate and respiration, which are crucial for sustaining energy levels and oxygen supply during intense workouts.
Coordination for Homeostasis
- Together, the CNS and PNS work synergistically to maintain homeostasis during physical exertion.
- The CNS processes information and adjusts body functions, while the PNS ensures that feedback loops function effectively, allowing for real-time adjustments to heart rate and muscle contractions.
In summary, option D accurately describes how the CNS and PNS collaborate to manage the body’s response to exercise, ensuring that both voluntary and involuntary functions are well-coordinated for optimal performance and safety.

Ambition Institute answered |
The central nervous system (CNS) is primarily responsible for processing information and regulating bodily functions. It encompasses the brain and spinal cord, serving as the main control center for all activities in the body. The CNS interprets sensory information received from the peripheral nervous system (PNS) and coordinates responses. An interesting fact is that the brain alone contains approximately 86 billion neurons, which play a crucial role in cognitive functions, movement, and sensory perception.

Understanding Nodes of Ranvier
The nodes of Ranvier are critical components in the structure of myelinated nerve fibers. They play a significant role in the propagation of nerve impulses through a process known as saltatory conduction.
Discontinuity of Myelin Sheath
- The myelin sheath is a protective covering that surrounds the axons of many neurons.
- At the nodes of Ranvier, this myelin sheath is interrupted.
- This discontinuity allows for the rapid transmission of electrical signals along the nerve fiber.
Role of Neurilemma
- Neurilemma, also known as the Schwann cell sheath, is present in myelinated fibers.
- While the neurilemma is found at the nodes, it is primarily the myelin sheath that is discontinuous at these points.
- Neurilemma does not contribute to the discontinuity of the myelin sheath but rather supports the axon.
Importance of Myelin Discontinuity
- The gaps created by the nodes of Ranvier facilitate the jumping of action potentials from one node to the next.
- This process significantly increases the speed of nerve impulse conduction compared to unmyelinated fibers.
Conclusion
In summary, the correct statement regarding the nodes of Ranvier is that the myelin sheath is discontinuous at these points. This structural feature is essential for efficient nerve signal transmission, making option 'B' the accurate choice.

Grey Matter and Neurons
Grey matter is a type of neural tissue found in the brain and spinal cord. It consists of cell bodies, dendrites, and synapses, and appears grey due to the presence of unmyelinated axons and glial cells. Neurons are the functional units of the nervous system and they transmit information through electrical impulses.
Concentration of Cell Bodies in Grey Matter
The grey matter contains a high concentration of cell bodies compared to other parts of the neuron. The cell body, also known as the soma or perikaryon, is the main part of the neuron that contains the nucleus and various organelles necessary for cellular functions. It is responsible for maintaining the metabolic and structural integrity of the neuron.
Functions of Cell Bodies
The cell body plays several important roles in the neuron:
1. Protein synthesis: The cell body contains ribosomes and other organelles involved in protein synthesis. It produces proteins that are essential for the survival and functioning of the neuron.
2. Metabolism: The cell body generates energy and metabolizes various substances required for neuronal processes. It produces ATP through cellular respiration to fuel the neuron's activities.
3. Integration of information: The cell body receives signals from dendrites and processes them. It integrates these signals and determines whether to transmit or inhibit the electrical impulse.
4. Structural support: The cell body provides structural support to the neuron by giving it its shape and stability. It also connects to other neurons through synapses.
Conclusion
In conclusion, the cell body is present in a high concentration in the grey matter. It is responsible for various vital functions such as protein synthesis, metabolism, integration of information, and structural support. Understanding the distribution and functions of different parts of the neuron, including the cell body, is essential in comprehending the complexity of the nervous system and its role in various physiological processes.

Short Repeatedly Branched Fibres: Axon
An axon is a long, slender projection of a neuron that conducts electrical impulses away from the cell body, towards other neurons or target cells. It is the primary transmission line of the nervous system, responsible for transmitting and propagating action potentials.
Structure of an Axon:
- Axon Hillock: The axon hillock is the cone-shaped region of the neuron where the axon originates from the cell body. It is the site where action potentials are generated.
- Axon Proper: The axon proper is the elongated part of the axon that extends away from the cell body. It is covered by a lipid-rich insulating layer called the myelin sheath, which is produced by specialized supporting cells called Schwann cells in the peripheral nervous system, and oligodendrocytes in the central nervous system.
- Axon Terminal: At the distal end of the axon, there are fine branches called axon terminals or terminal boutons. These branches form synapses with other neurons or target cells, allowing for the transmission of signals.
Function of an Axon:
- Signal Transmission: The main function of an axon is to transmit electrical signals, known as action potentials, from the cell body to other neurons or target cells. These signals travel along the axon, facilitated by the myelin sheath and nodes of Ranvier, which allow for saltatory conduction. This rapid transmission of signals enables efficient communication within the nervous system.
- Synaptic Transmission: At the axon terminals, the electrical signals are converted into chemical signals. When an action potential reaches the axon terminal, it triggers the release of neurotransmitters into the synaptic cleft, which then bind to receptors on the target cell, transmitting the signal from one neuron to another or to an effector cell (such as a muscle cell or gland).
Conclusion:
In summary, the short repeatedly branched fibers in neurons are called axons. Axons play a vital role in the transmission of electrical signals throughout the nervous system, allowing for communication between neurons and the activation of target cells.

Rohan Singh answered |
This is the time during which another stimulus given to the neuron (no matter how strong) will not lead to a second action potential. Thus, because Na+ channels are inactivated during this time, additional depolarizing stimuli do not lead to new action potentials. The absolute refractory period takes about 1-2 ms. refractory period is a period of time during which an organ or cell is incapable of repeating a particular action, or (more precisely) the amount of time it takes for an excitable membrane to be ready for a second stimulus once it returns to its resting state following an excitation. It most commonly refers to electrically excitable muscle cells or neurons. Absolute refractory period corresponds to depolarization and repolarization, whereas relative refractory period corresponds to hyperpolarization.

Depolarization of the axonal membrane happens due to an increase in Na⁺ permeability, which allows Na⁺ ions to rapidly enter the axoplasm, making Statement A correct. Statement B is also correct, as the diffusion of K⁺ out of the membrane restores the resting potential. Statement C is incorrect because the sodium-potassium pump moves 3 Na⁺ out for every 2 K⁺ in, not the other way around. Hence, the correct statements are A and B.Topic in NCERT: Generation and Conduction of Nerve Impulse
Line in NCERT: "The rise in the stimulus-induced permeability to Na* is extremely short-lived. It is quickly followed by a rise in permeability to K*. Within a fraction of a second, K+ diffuses outside the membrane and restores the resting potential of the membrane at the site of excitation and the fibre becomes once more responsive to further stimulation."

Understanding Homeostasis
Homeostasis is the process by which living organisms maintain a stable internal environment despite external changes. This involves the regulation of various physiological parameters such as temperature, pH, and electrolyte balance.
Assertion Explanation
- The assertion states that the functions of the organs in our body must be coordinated to maintain homeostasis.
- This is correct because organs do not function in isolation. For example, the respiratory system works with the circulatory system to ensure that oxygen is delivered to tissues and carbon dioxide is removed.
Reason Explanation
- The reason provided indicates that coordination is the interaction and complementing functions of two or more organs.
- This is also a correct statement as organs often work together to perform complex tasks that no single organ could achieve alone. For example, the kidneys and the endocrine system work together to regulate blood pressure and fluid balance.
Linking Assertion and Reason
- The reason directly explains the assertion by highlighting how organs complement each other to maintain homeostasis.
- For instance, during exercise, the heart rate increases (cardiovascular system), while the lungs facilitate increased oxygen intake (respiratory system), showcasing their coordinated efforts to maintain stable conditions in the body.
Conclusion
- Since both the assertion and the reason are true, and the reason correctly explains the assertion, the correct answer is option 'A': Both Assertion and Reason are correct, and Reason is the correct explanation of Assertion.

- Statement II is incorrect.
Thus, the correct answer is option C: Statement I is correct but Statement II is incorrect.
- Statement I: The cerebral hemispheres are connected by a nerve tract known as corpus callosum.
- This statement is correct. The corpus callosum is a thick band of nerve fibers that connects the left and right cerebral hemispheres, facilitating communication between them.
Explanation of Statement II
- Statement II: The brain stem consists of the medulla oblongata, pons, and cerebrum.
- This statement is incorrect. The brain stem is made up of the medulla oblongata, pons, and midbrain, not the cerebrum. The cerebrum is actually a separate structure that is responsible for higher brain functions, including thought and action.
Conclusion
- Given the evaluations of both statements:
- Statement I is correct.
- Statement II is incorrect.
Thus, the correct answer is option C: Statement I is correct but Statement II is incorrect.

Cerebrum is the first and most developed part of fore brain. It makes 2/3 part of total brain. Pons is a small spherical projection, which is situated below the midbrain and upper side of the medulla oblongata. It acts as a relay centre among different parts of brain. B and D are thalamus and spinal cord respectively.

Afferent Nerve Fibres Overview
Afferent nerve fibres play a crucial role in the functioning of the nervous system. They are responsible for transmitting sensory information from various parts of the body to the Central Nervous System (CNS).
Function of Afferent Nerve Fibres
- Direction of Impulse: Afferent fibres carry impulses from receptors located in sensory organs (like skin, eyes, ears, etc.) directly to the brain and spinal cord, which are components of the CNS.
- Sensory Information Processing: This information allows the CNS to process sensory input, enabling perception, reflexes, and appropriate responses to environmental stimuli.
Contrast with Efferent Nerve Fibres
- Efferent Nerve Fibres: Unlike afferent fibres, efferent fibres transmit signals from the CNS to effector organs, such as muscles and glands, facilitating action and response.
Importance in the Nervous System
- Homeostasis and Response: Afferent nerve fibres are essential for maintaining homeostasis as they provide critical feedback about the body’s internal and external environments.
- Reflex Actions: In reflex actions, afferent fibres quickly send signals to the CNS, which then generates a response through efferent fibres, often without conscious thought.
In summary, the correct answer to the question is option 'B', as afferent nerve fibres specifically carry impulses from receptors to the CNS, which is pivotal for sensory perception and response mechanisms within the body.

The pre-synaptic neuron transmits an impulse to the post-synaptic neuron by releasing neurotransmitters from synaptic vesicles into the synaptic cleft, where they bind to specific receptors on the post-synaptic membrane.

There are different kinds of stimulus that is received by different receptors in our body. Hearing of sound of bell is conditioned stimulus and salivation in response to bell is conditioned response. Food itself is conditioned stimulus and salivation in response to food is unconditioned response.

A-Receptor, C-Synaptic vesicles B is synaptic cleft. A synapse is formed by the membranes of a synaptic neuron and post synaptic neuron, which may or may not separated by a gap called synaptic cleft. It is filled by fluid called neurotransmitter which are involved in transmission of impulse at these synapses.

Based on the number of axon and dendrites, the neurons are divided into three types, i.e., multipolar (with one axon and two or more dendrites; found in the cerebral cortex), bipolar (with one axon and one dendrite, found in the retina of eye) and unipolar (cell body with one axon only; found usually in the embryonic stage).
