| Impulse conduction in myelinated nerve fibre | Impulse conduction in unmyelinated nerve fibre |
| A | B |
| Action potential jumps from one node of Ranvier to another | Action potential travels along the entire length of fibre |
| Conduction is very fast and called saltatory conduction | Conduction is slow |
| C | D |
| Options | A | B | C | D |

| I: | The left and right cerebral hemispheres are connected by a tract of nerve fibres called corpus spongiosum. |
| II: | Association areas are neither clearly sensory nor motor in function. |
| III: | Thalamus is a major coordinating centre for sensory and motor signaling. |
| IV: | The hindbrain comprises pons, cerebellum and medulla. |
| V: | Three major regions make up the brain stem: mid brain, pons and medulla oblongata. |

| Statement I: | The malleus is attached to the tympanic membrane and the stapes is attached to the oval window of the cochlea. |
| Statement II: | At the base of the cochlea, the scala vestibuli ends at the round window, while the scala tympani terminates at the oval window which opens to the middle ear. |
