Question 611 Mark
The correct order of the parts of nerve cells through which the nerve impulse is transmitted is:
  1. Nerve endings, dendrites, nerve endings.
  2. Cell body, acon, dendrites, nerve endings.
  3. Dendrites, nerve endings, cell body, acon.
  4. Dendrites, cell body, axon, nerve endings.
Answer
  1. Dendrites, cell body, axon, nerve endings.

Explanation:

Nerve impulse travel along the axons and dentrites. Nerve impulses enter a neuron along the dentrites and leave the neuron along the axon. Thus, the correct sequence through which nerve impulse is transmitted is: dendrites, cell body, axon, nerve endings.

Question 671 Mark
Name the type of cells, which form nervous tissue?
Answer
Although the nervous system is very complex, there are only two main types of cells in nerve tissue. The actual nerve cell is the neuron. It is the "conducting"cell that transmits impulses and the structural unit of the nervous system. The other type of cell is neuroglia, or glial, cell.
