Very Short Questions Answer

Question. A person suffered a head injury, due to which he faces breathing problem. No problem was detected with his respiratory system. What could be the cause of this problem? 
Answer : As the problem is caused due to head injury, it could be related to “Pons” a part of Hind brain responsible for regulation of respiration.

Question. A man becomes unconscious due to head injury. A pin is pricked on his foot, he withdraws his foot. Why? Explain. 
Answer : It is reflex action. Stimulus is perceived by receptor (skin). Sensory nerve sends the sensation from receptor to the spinal cord. Then spinal cord sends the message through motor nerves to the effectors. Effectors i.e. muscles help in withdrawing his foot.

Question.In a family of normal sized members, there are two exceptions, one member is dwarf and one is tall like “Khali”. What could be the cause of it? 
Answer : In case of dwarfs, there is a deficiency of growth hormone from Pituitary gland and in case of giants excess of growth hormone is produced during childhood.

Short Answer Type Questions

Question. Name, the two main organs of our central nervous system. Which one of them plays a major role in sending command to muscles to act without involving thinking process? Name the phenomenon involved.

Question. What is synapse ? In a neuron cell how is an electrical impulse created and what is the role of synapse in this context ?
Answer :A synapse is the gap between the two neurons. Here the axon terminal of one neuron is in close proximity to the dendrite of the second neuron. When a nerve impulse reaches the knob like nerve ending of an axon, a tiny amount of a chemical substance is released in the synapse. This chemical substance is called as the neurotransmitter. At synapse the electrical signals converted into chemicals, that can easily cross over the gap and pass on to the next neurons where it again converted into electrical signals.
