Consider the two statements:
Statement I: Dendrites transmit impulses towards the cell body of the neuron.
Statement II: The axons transmit nerve impulses away from the cell body to a synapse or to a neuro-muscular junction.
 
1. Statement I is correct; Statement II is incorrect
2. Statement I is incorrect; Statement II is incorrect
3. Statement I is correct; Statement II is correct
4. Statement I is incorrect; Statement II is correct

How many of the given statements are true?
I: The PNS is divided into two divisions called somatic neural system and autonomic neural system.
II: The somatic neural system relays impulses from the CNS to skeletal muscles while the autonomic neural system transmits impulses from the CNS to the involuntary organs and smooth muscles of the body.
III: The autonomic neural system is further classified into sympathetic neural system and parasympathetic neural system.
IV: Visceral nervous system is the part of the peripheral nervous system that comprises the whole complex of nerves, fibres, ganglia, and plexuses by which impulses travel from the central nervous system to the viscera and from the viscera to the central nervous system.

When the neuron is not conducting any impulse, i.e., resting, the axonal membrane:
1. is comparatively more permeable to sodium ions and nearly impermeable to potassium ions.
2. is freely permeable to sodium ions and potassium ions.
3. is impermeable to sodium ions and potassium ions.
4. is comparatively more permeable to potassium ions and nearly impermeable to sodium ions.
