axon
All multicellular animals contain elongated nerve cells, called neurons. Each neuron has a cell body, axon and smaller processes called dendrites. An axon is the process of a nerve cell that carries impulses away from it. It runs parallel to one another and each is surrounded along its whole length by series of Schwann cells. They may have myelin sheath.
One of the examples of the action of the autonomous nervous system is
knee-jerk response
pupillary reflex
swallowing of food
peristalsis of the intestines
Which one of the following depresses brain activity and produces feelings of calmness, relaxation and drowsiness?
Valium
Morphine
Hashish
Amphetamines
Which of the following is the part of mid brain of rabbit?
Diencephalon
Cerebrum
Corpora quadrigemina
None of the above
Now-a-days cornea transplantation is very popular. The reason is that it
is easy to preserve
transplanted very easily
can be easily obtained
does not link with blood supply and immune system
Unidirectional transmission of a nerve impulse through nerve fibre is due to the fact that
nerve fibre is insulated by a medullary sheath
sodium pump starts operating only at the cyton and then continues into the nerve fibre
neurotransmitters are released by dendrites and not by axon endings
neurotransmitters are released by the axon endings and not by dendrites.
Cornea transplant in humans is almost never rejected. This is because
it is composed of enucleated cells
it is a non-living layer
its cells are least penetrable by bacteria
it has no blood supply
