Third and fourth ventricles of the brain are connected by

• aqueduct of Sylvious

• foramen of Monro

• foramen of Magnum

• corpus callosum

During synaptic transmission of nerve impulse, neurotransmitter (P) is released from synaptic vesicles by the action of ions (Q). Choose the correct P and Q.

• P - Acetylcholine;  Q - Ca²⁺

• P - Acetylcholine; Q - Na⁺

• P - GABA; Q - Na⁺

• P - Cholinesterase; Q - Ca²⁺

Identify the origin of sympathetic nerve fibres and the location of their ganglia.

• They arise from thoracolumbar region of spinal cord and form ganglia just beside the vertebral column

• They arise from thoracocervical region of spinal cord and form ganglia just beside the vertebral column

• They arise from cranio-sacral region of spinal cord and from ganglia very close to effector organ

• They arise from thoracolumbar region of spinal cord and form ganglia very close to effector organ
