Nissl bodies are mainly composed of:
1. Proteins and lipids
2. DNA and RNA
3. Nucleic acids and SER
4. Free ribosomes and RER
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. |
Photosensitive compound in the human eye is made up of:
1. Opsin and Retinal | 2. Opsin and Retinol |
3. Transducin and Retinene | 4. Guanosine and Retinol |
In the mammalian eye, the ‘fovea’ is the center of the visual field, where?

2. the optic nerve leaves the eye
3. only rods are present
4. more rods than cones are found
Which of the following regions of the brain is incorrectly paired with its function?
1. | Medulla oblongata-Homeostatic control |
2. | Cerebellum-Language comprehension |
3. | Corpus callosum-Communication between the left and right cerebral cortices |
4. | Cerebrum-Calculation and contemplation |
A gymnast is able to balance his body upside down even in total darkness because of:
1. cochlea
2. vestibular apparatus
3. tectorial membrane
4. the organ of Corti
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
The human hindbrain comprises three parts, one of which is:
1. | Cerebellum | 2. | Hypothalamus |
3. | Spinal | 4. | Corpus callosum |
A person entering an empty room suddenly finds a snake right in front on opening the door. Which one of the following is likely to happen in his neurohormonal control system?
1. | Sympathetic nervous system activated releasing epinephrine and norepinephrine from adrenal medulla |
2. | Neurotransmitters diffuse rapidly across the cleft and transmit a nerve impulse |
3. | Hypothalamus activates the parasympathetic division of the brain |
4. | Sympathetic nervous system is activated releasing epinephrine and norepinephrine from the adrenal cortex |
