Consider the following statements:
I: | Impulses travel by the visceral nervous system from the CNS to the viscera and from the viscera to the CNS. |
II: | Impulses travel by the autonomic nervous system from the CNS to the involuntary organs and smooth muscles of the body. |
1. Only I is correct
2. Only II is correct
3. Both I and II are correct
4. Both I and II are incorrect
Branched protoplasmic extensions of a nerve cell that propagate the electrochemical stimulation received from other neural cells to the cell body, or soma, of the neuron are the:
1. | axons | 2. | axon hillocks |
3. | axon collaterals | 4. | dendrites |

The neuron in humans with many nerve fibers arising from its cell body and that carries impulses to the effectors would be called as:
1. | multipolar | 2. | bipolar |
3. | unipolar and sensory | 4. | multipolar and motor |

Unidirectional transmission of a nerve impulse through nerve fibre is due to the fact that
1. nerve fibre is insulated by a medullary sheath
2. sodium pump starts operating only at the cyton and then continues into the nerve fibre
3. neurotransmitters are released by dendrites and not by axon endings
4. neurotransmitters are released by the axon endings and not by dendrites.
