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
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. |
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
A diagram showing the axon terminal and synapse is given. Identify correctly at least two of A-D:
1. B- Synaptic connection; D- K+
2. A- Neurotransmitter; B- Synaptic cleft
3. C- Neurotransmitter; D- Ca++
4. A- Receptor; C- Synaptic vesicles
The human hindbrain comprises three parts, one of which is:
1. | Cerebellum | 2. | Hypothalamus |
3. | Spinal | 4. | Corpus callosum |
1. | equally permeable to both Na+ and K+ ions |
2. | impermeable to both Na+ and K+ ions |
3. | comparatively more permeable to K+ ions and nearly impermeable to Na+ ions |
4. | comparatively more permeable to Na+ ions and nearly impermeable to K+ ions |
The nerve centres which control the body temperature and the urge for eating are contained in:
1. hypothalamus
2. pons
3. cerebellum
4. thalamus
Which part of the human brain is concerned with the regulation of body temperature?

4. Hypothalamus
1. K+ ions from extracellular fluid to intracellular fluid
2. Na+ ions from intracellular fluid to extracellular fluid
3. K+ ions from intracellular fluid to extracellular fluid
4. Na+ ions from extracellular fluid to intracellular fluid
