Figure a and b given above are two axon terminals with synapse. Which one is conducting the impulse? Justify your answer.
Answer:
Diagram a, The axon terminals contain vesicles filled with neurotransmitters it is not present in diagram b.

Question 5.
Incus, stapes and malleus are the three ear ossicles of the middle ear. Arrange them in the order in which they are present from tympanic membrane to the oval window of the cochlea. (SAY-2010)
Explain their function.
Answer:
Malleus, incus and stapes
The ear ossicles increase the efficiency of transmission of sound waves to the inner ear.

Question 6.
Two types of synapses are given in the diagrams A and B. (SAY-2011)
Plus One Zoology Chapter Wise Previous Questions Chapter 10 Neural Control and Coordination 4a) Identify A and B.
b) Impulse transmission in ‘B’ is faster than that of ‘A’. Give reason.
c) Name the chemical substance that helps in the transmission of impulses in ‘A’.
Answer:
a) A chemical synapse B- electrical synapse
b) Transmission of an impulse across electrical synapses is very similar to impulse conduction along a single axon. Hence impulse transmission across an electrical synapse is always faster than that across a chemical synapse.
c) neurotransmitter

f) Gastric secretion

Question 9.
Arrange the following processes in nerve impulse con-duction in a sequential order. (MARCH-2013)
a) Bursting of synaptic vesicle
b) Development of action potential
c) Na+-K+ pump starts functioning
d) Stimulus received and influx of Na+ ions
e) Binding of neurotransmitter with postsynaptic membrane
Answer:

Question 10.
Nerve impulse transmission involves. (SAY-2013)
Maintenance of resting potential
Development of action potential
Propagation of action potential
a) Diagrammatically represent the polarised and depolarised state of axon of a neuron.
b) Describe how the resting potential of a neuron is maintained.
c) “Electrical currents fade as they pass along a wire but nerve impulses do not fade as they pass along neurons”. Evaluate the statement and sub-stantiate your answer.

Answer:
a)
Plus One Zoology Chapter Wise Previous Questions Chapter 10 Neural Control and Coordination 6
b) These ionic gradients are maintained by the active . transport of ions by the sodium-potassium pump which transports 3 Na+ outwards for 2 K+ into the cell . This helps to maintain the resting potential..
c) Electric current fade due to resistance of conductor. But nerve fibre do not have resistance. So the impulses pass without fade. Myelil sheath also helps to prevent the loss of charges.

Question 11.
Given below are the stages in the generation of optic nerve impulse or action potential on the retina and the role of opsin and retinal in the mechanism of vision. Arrange them in a sequential order. (SAY-2014)
a) Action potential (impulses) are transmitted by the optic nerves to the visual cortex area of the brain.
b) Light induces dissociation of retinal from opsin,
c) Generates action potential in the ganglion cells through bipolar cells.
d) Structural changes in the opsin which induce membrane permeability changes.
e) Potential differences are generated in the photoreceptor cells.
f) Neural impulses are analyzed by visual cortex area of the brain..
Answer:
b → d → e → c → a → f

Mention the functions of the following structures in human body. (SAY-2015)
(Hint: Any two each)
