Past NEET questions on Neural Control and Coordination

Try each one, then open the answer and explanation.

Question 1 · NEET 2024

Match List-I with List -II List-I List-II A. Schwann cells I. Neurotransmitter B. Synaptic knob II. Cerebral cortex C. Bipolar neurons III. Myelin sheath D. Multipolar neurons IV. Retina Choose the correct answer from the options given below:

  1. A.A-III, B-I, C-IV, D-II
  2. B.A-I, B-IV, C-II, D-III
  3. C.A-IV, B-III, C-II, D-I
  4. D.A-II, B-III, C-I, D-IV
Show answer

Answer: A. A-III, B-I, C-IV, D-II

Schwann cells produce myelin sheath in PNS. Synaptic knob releases neurotransmitter. Bipolar neurons are in retina. Multipolar neurons are in cerebral cortex.

Question 2 · NEET 2022

Match List - I with List - II regarding sensory organs in human. (a) Organ 'of corti (i) Photo receptors (b) Nasal mucosa (ii) Gustatory receptors (c) Taste buds (iii) Auditory receptors (d) Retina (iv) Olfactory receptors Choose the correct answer from the options given below :

  1. A.(a)-(iii), (b)-(iv), (c)-(ii), (d)-(i)
  2. B.(a)-(iv), (b)-(iii), (c)-(i) (d)-(ii)
  3. C.(a)-(iii), (b)-(i), (c)-(ii). (d)-(iv)
  4. D.(a)-(ii), (b)-(iv), (c)-(iii), (d)-(i) Ans.
Show answer

Answer: A. (a)-(iii), (b)-(iv), (c)-(ii), (d)-(i)

Organ of Corti in the inner ear contains auditory receptors, so (a)-(iii). Nasal mucosa has olfactory receptors, so (b)-(iv). Taste buds have gustatory receptors, so (c)-(ii). Retina has photoreceptors, so (d)-(i).

Question 3 · NEET 2020

Match the following columns and select the correct option. Column I Column II A. Organ of Corti 1. Connects middle ear and pharynx B. Cochlea 2. Coiled part of the labyrinth C. Eustachian tube 3. Attached to the oval window D. Stapes 4. Located on the basilar membrane A B C D

  1. A.3 1 4 2
  2. B.4 2 1 3
  3. C.1 2 4 3
  4. D.2 3 1 4
Show answer

Answer: B. 4 2 1 3

Organ of Corti contains hair cells on basilar membrane → matches 4. Cochlea is coiled labyrinth → matches 2. Eustachian tube connects middle ear to pharynx → matches 1. Stapes attaches to oval window → matches 3. Hence order 4,2,1,3.

Question 4 · NEET 2020

If the head of cockroach is removed, it may live for few days because

  1. A.the cockroach does not have nervous system
  2. B.the head holds a small proportion of a nervous system, while the rest is situated along the ventral part of its body
  3. C.the head holds a 1/3rd of a nervous system, while the rest is situated along the dorsal part of its body.
  4. D.the supra-oesophageal ganglia of the cockroach are situated in ventral part of abdomen p
Show answer

Answer: B. the head holds a small proportion of a nervous system, while the rest is situated along the ventral part of its body

Cockroaches have a decentralized nervous system with a brain (supra-oesophageal ganglia) in the head and ventral nerve cord with ganglia in thoracic and abdominal segments. Removing the head eliminates the brain and mouthparts, but the ventral ganglia can still coordinate basic survival (respiration via spiracles, leg movements) for a few days until starvation/dehydration.

Question 5 · NEET 2019

Which part of the brain is responsible for thermoregulation?

  1. A.Hypothalamus
  2. B.Corpus callosum
  3. C.Medulla oblongata
  4. D.Cerebrum ( ) p
Show answer

Answer: A. Hypothalamus

Thermoregulation is a homeostatic function controlled by the hypothalamus, which acts as the body's thermostat, detecting temperature changes and initiating responses.
