1. | Impulse Transmission across a chemical synapse is always faster than that across an electrical synapse. |
2. | The membranes of presynaptic and postsynaptic neurons are in close proximity in an electrical synapse. |
3. | Electrical current can flow directly from one neuron into the other across the electrical synapse. |
4. | Chemical synapses use neurotransmitters. |

Which part of the brain is responsible for thermoregulation?
1. Medulla oblongata
2. Cerebrum
3. Hypothalamus
4. Corpus callosum
Column I | Column II | |
1. | Medulla oblongata | controls respiration and cardiovascular reflexes. |
2. | Limbic system | consists of fibre tracts that interconnect different regions of brain; controls movement. |
3. | Hypothalamus | production of releasing hormones and regulation of temperature, hunger and Thirst. |
4. | Corpus callosum | band of fibers connecting left and right cerebral hemispheres. |
Myelin sheath is produced by:
1. Astrocytes and Schwann cells
2. Oligodendrocytes and Osteoclasts
3. Osteoclasts and Astrocytes
4. Schwann cells and Oligodendrocytes
Receptor sites for neurotransmitters are present on:
1. Pre-synaptic membrane
2. Tips of axons
3. Post-synaptic membrane
4. Membrane of synaptic vesicles
Injury localized to the hypothalamus would most likely disrupt:
1. short-term memory
2. co-ordination during locomotion
3. executive functions, such as decision making
4. regulation of body temperature
