................................ Advertisement ................................
6.State the functions of Cerebellum.
(Chapter 3 : The Bases of Human Behaviour)
Ans:
7. Describe three functions of neurons.
(Chapter 3 : The Bases of Human Behaviour)
Ans:
Neuron is the basic unit of our nervous
system. Neurons are specialised cells, which
possess the unique property of converting
various forms of stimuli into electrical
impulses. They are also specialised for
reception, conduction and transmission of
information in the form of electrochemical
signals.
Three functions of neurons are
1. They are specialized cells that possess the unique
property of converting various stimuli into
electrical impulses.
2. They are also specialized for reception, conduction
and transmission of information in the form of
electrochemical signals.
3. They receive information from the sense organs or
from other adjacent neurons, carry them to central
nervous system and bring motor information from
central nervous system to the motor organs
7. What is the functions of dendrites ?
(Chapter 3 : The Bases of Human Behaviour)
Ans:
The function of dendrites is to receive the incoming neural
impulses from adjacent neurons or directly
from the sense organs.
8. The brain and spinal cord comprise the following nervous system.
a) Peripheral
b) Somatic
c) Central
d) Autonomic
Ans: c) Central
9. The gap between two neurons is called ________.
Ans: Synaptic Cleft
10. Epinephrine and nor epinephrine hormones are secreted from adrenal cortex. True / False
Ans: False.
11. Change in gene from one form to another is called _____________.
Ans : mutation
12.Differentiate between Genes and Memes.
Ans:
Genes | Memes |
---|---|
It is the unit of hereditary information. | They are DNA of human society. |
They write script of biological transmissions. | They write script of cultural transmission. |
13. Which of the following is the main body of the nerve cell?
a) Dendrites
b) Soma
c) Axons
d) None of the above
Ans: d) None of the above
14. Describes how neurons transmit information?
Ans:
Information is transmitted from one place to another within
the nervous system in the form of nerve impulse. They
receive information from the sense organs or from adjacent
neurons and carry them to the central nervous system and
bring motor information from central nervous system to
motor organs. Neurons transmit information with the help
of dendrites, soma, axon and other terminal buttons.
15. What is "all or none principle" ?
Ans:
The nerve fibers work according to
the "all or none principle", which means that
they either respond completely or do not
respond at all. The strength of the nerve
impulse remains constant along the nerve
fiber.
16. Choose the odd one out
a) Hypothalamus
b) Pons
c) Cerebellum
d) Medulla Oblongata
Ans: a) Hypothalamus
17. ___________ is the basic unit of nervous system.
a) Nucleus
b) Soma
c) Neurons
d) Dendrites
Ans: c) Neurons
18. The Nervous system can be divided into
a) Somatic Nervous System and Autonomic Nervous System
b) Central Nervous System and Peripheral Nervous System
c) Brain and Spinal Cord
d) Sympathetic Division and parasympathetic division
Ans: b) Central Nervous System and Peripheral Nervous System
19. explain the structure of forebrain and various lobes of brain.
Ans:
Forebrain: It is considered to be the most important part of the brain because it performs all cognitive,
emotional, and motor activities. We will discuss four major parts of the forebrain:
hypothalamus, thalamus, limbic system, and cerebrum.
20. Explain the role of peripheral nervous system in humans.
Ans:
The PNS is composed of all the neurons and nerve fibers that connect the CNS to the rest
of the body. The PNS is divided into Somatic Nervous System and Autonomic Nervous System.
The PNS provides information to the CNS from sensory receptors
(eyes, ears, skin, etc.) and relays back motor
commands from the brain to the muscles and
glands.
The Somatic Nervous System :
21.________________ refers to all learning that takes
place without direct, deliberate teaching.
a) Acculturation
b) Socialization
c) Enculturation
d) Culture
(chapter 3: The Bases of Human Behaviour)
Ans: c) Enculturation
22. The __________ lobe is primarily concerned with the processing of auditory information.
a) Temporal
b) Frontal
c) Parietal
d) Occipital
(chapter 3: The Bases of Human Behaviour)
Ans: a) Temporal
23. The ____________ lobe is mainly concerned with cutaneous sensations and their coordination with visual and auditory
sensations.
a) Temporal
b) Frontal
c) Parietal
d) Occipital
(chapter 3: The Bases of Human Behaviour)
Ans: a) Parietal
24. The ___________ lobe is mainly concerned with visual
information.
a) Temporal
b) Frontal
c) Parietal
d) Occipital
(chapter 3: The Bases of Human Behaviour)
Ans: a) Occipital
25.The __________ lobe is mainly concerned with cognitive
functions, such as attention, thinking, memory, learning, and reasoning.
a) Temporal
b) Frontal
c) Parietal
d) Occipital
(chapter 3: The Bases of Human Behaviour)
Ans: a) Frontal
26.What is mutation?
(chapter 3: The Bases of Human Behaviour)
Ans: Change of a gene from one form to another is called mutation.
27. Define acculturation and explain the strategies of acculturation?
(chapter 3: The Bases of Human Behaviour)
Ans:
Acculturation refers to cultural and psychological changes resulting from contact
with other cultures.
Following are the strategies of acculturation:
28. ___________ gland is situated above each kidney.
(chapter 3: The Bases of Human Behaviour)
Ans: c) Adrenal
29. ___________ write the script of cultural transmissions.
(chapter 3: The Bases of Human Behaviour)
Ans: c) Memes
30.Define Synapse.
(chapter 3: The Bases of Human Behaviour)
Ans: Synapse is the intersection of the axon of one neuron and the dendrite of next neuron.
