The correct sequence of a reflex arc is as follows: receptor>>sensory neuron>>integration center/control center>>motor neuron>>effector organ
-
True
-
False
Correct Answer
A. TrueExplanation
The correct sequence of a reflex arc is as follows: receptor, sensory neuron, integration center/control center, motor neuron, and effector organ. This sequence describes the pathway that a reflex signal follows in the body. The receptor detects a stimulus, which is then transmitted to the sensory neuron. The sensory neuron carries the signal to the integration center/control center, where it is processed. The processed signal is then transmitted to the motor neuron, which in turn sends the signal to the effector organ, causing a response. Therefore, the given statement is true.Rate this question:

The spinal cord is part of the CNS [central nervous system].
-
True
-
False
Correct Answer
A. TrueExplanation
The spinal cord is indeed part of the central nervous system (CNS). The CNS consists of the brain and spinal cord, which work together to process and transmit information throughout the body. The spinal cord is a long, thin bundle of nerves that extends from the brain down the back. It is responsible for relaying messages between the brain and the rest of the body, allowing for the coordination of movement and the transmission of sensory information. Therefore, it is accurate to say that the spinal cord is part of the CNS.Rate this question:

Identify A:
Correct Answer
Lacrimal Gland
Lacrimal gland
lacrimal glandExplanation
The correct answer is "lacrimal gland" because it is the name of the structure being identified. The repetition of the term in different capitalization formats suggests that it is the correct answer. The lacrimal gland is responsible for producing tears, which help keep the eyes lubricated and protect them from foreign particles.Rate this question:
- 11.
E is the nasolacrimal duct.
-
True
-
False
Correct Answer
A. TrueExplanation
The nasolacrimal duct is a passage that connects the lacrimal sac to the nasal cavity. Tears produced by the lacrimal gland drain into the lacrimal sac and then travel through the nasolacrimal duct to the nasal cavity. This is why when we cry, our nose gets runny. So, the statement "E is the nasolacrimal duct" is true.Rate this question:

Bipolar neurons are the most rare neurons in the human body.
-
True
-
False
Correct Answer
A. TrueExplanation
Bipolar neurons are indeed the most rare neurons in the human body. Unlike other neurons that have multiple dendrites and a single axon, bipolar neurons have only two processes, one dendrite, and one axon. They are found in specialized sensory organs like the retina of the eye and the olfactory epithelium in the nose. These neurons play a crucial role in relaying sensory information from these organs to the central nervous system. Due to their limited presence and specialized function, bipolar neurons are considered to be the rarest type of neurons in the human body.Rate this question:

If a neuron is structurally multipolar, funcitonally we would classify the neuron as being sensory in function.
-
True
-
False
Correct Answer
A. FalseExplanation
A neuron being structurally multipolar does not necessarily mean it is sensory in function. The classification of a neuron's function is based on its role in transmitting and processing information, not its structure. Neurons can have different structural types (such as multipolar, bipolar, or unipolar) and still have various functions, including sensory, motor, or interneuron functions. Therefore, the statement that a structurally multipolar neuron is always sensory in function is false.Rate this question:

Which of these detect black and white light?
-
Cones
-
Choroid
-
Lens
-
None of these
Correct Answer
A. None of theseExplanation
None of these detect black and white light because black and white vision is primarily detected by rods, not cones. Cones are responsible for color vision, while the choroid is a layer of tissue in the eye that provides nourishment to the retina. The lens focuses light onto the retina, but it does not specifically detect black and white light.Rate this question:

Most photoreceptors of the eye are concentrated in this part of the eye:
-
Fovea Centralis
-
Blind Spot
-
Choroid
-
Posterior Segment of the eye
Correct Answer
A. Fovea CentralisExplanation
The fovea centralis is the part of the eye that contains the highest concentration of photoreceptors, specifically cone cells. These cone cells are responsible for color vision and high visual acuity. The fovea centralis is located in the center of the macula, which is the central part of the retina. It is the area of the eye that is responsible for sharp, detailed vision, making it the correct answer in this case.Rate this question:

The substance in the anterior segment of the eye is known as aqueous fluid.
-
True
-
False
Correct Answer
A. TrueExplanation
The substance in the anterior segment of the eye is known as aqueous fluid. This is true because the anterior segment of the eye contains a clear, watery fluid called aqueous humor. Aqueous humor is produced by the ciliary body and fills the space between the cornea and the lens. It helps maintain the shape of the eye, provides nutrients to the cornea and lens, and helps to regulate intraocular pressure.Rate this question:

Which of these is not part of the fibrous tunic?
-
Cornea
-
Sclera
-
Ora Serrata
-
None of these
Correct Answer
A. Ora SerrataExplanation
The fibrous tunic is the outermost layer of the eye. It consists of the cornea and sclera, which provide protection and maintain the shape of the eye. The ora serrata, on the other hand, is part of the vascular tunic, also known as the uvea, which is the middle layer of the eye. It marks the transition between the retina and the ciliary body. Therefore, the ora serrata is not part of the fibrous tunic.Rate this question:

Most of the fibrous tunic is made of which of these?
-
Sclera
-
Cornea
-
Ora Serrata
-
None of these
Correct Answer
A. ScleraExplanation
The correct answer is Sclera. The fibrous tunic of the eye is made up of the sclera, which is the white, tough, and fibrous outer layer of the eye. It provides structural support and protection to the eye. The cornea is a transparent layer at the front of the eye, while the ora serrata is a jagged boundary between the retina and the ciliary body. Therefore, neither the cornea nor the ora serrata make up the majority of the fibrous tunic.Rate this question:

The choroid contains blood vessels and helps capture light in the eye.
-
True
-
False
Correct Answer
A. TrueExplanation
The choroid is a layer of tissue in the eye that contains blood vessels. These blood vessels supply oxygen and nutrients to the retina, which is responsible for capturing light and sending visual signals to the brain. Therefore, the statement that the choroid helps capture light in the eye is true.Rate this question:

The innermost tunic of the eye is the choroid.
-
True
-
False
Correct Answer
A. FalseExplanation
The innermost tunic of the eye is not the choroid. The correct answer is false. The innermost tunic of the eye is the retina, which contains the light-sensitive cells that convert light into electrical signals for the brain to process. The choroid is a layer located between the retina and the outer sclera of the eye, and it provides oxygen and nutrients to the retina.Rate this question:
