Neural Control and Coordination NEET Notes with MCQs

  Diagram showing conduction of nerve impulse through an axon by movement of sodium and potassium ions. NEET-Level MCQs: Neural Control & Coordination  By- Dr.Sanjaykumar pawar Topic: Impulse Conduction Through Axon (Hard Level) MCQ 1 During depolarisation of an axonal membrane: A. K⁺ ions rapidly enter the axoplasm B. Na⁺ ions rapidly diffuse into the axoplasm C. Cl⁻ ions move outside the membrane D. Na⁺ ions are actively transported outside Answer: ✅ B. Na⁺ ions rapidly diffuse into the axoplasm Explanation: Depolarisation occurs due to opening of voltage-gated Na⁺ channels causing rapid Na⁺ influx. MCQ 2 The resting membrane potential in a neuron is mainly due to: A. Equal permeability to Na⁺ and K⁺ B. Higher permeability to Na⁺ than K⁺ C. Differential distribution of ions across membrane D. Active transport of Cl⁻ ions only Answer: ✅ C. Differential distribution of ions across membrane Explanation: Unequal distribution of Na⁺ and K⁺ ions creates ...
