The midbrain integrates and processes sensory inputs related to vision, hearing, and motor control.

Efferent fibers transmit impulses from the CNS to peripheral organs, controlling motor responses.

Motor neurons (efferent neurons) transmit impulses from the CNS to muscles or glands.

Afferent neurons (sensory neurons) carry impulses from sensory receptors to the CNS.

The spinal cord acts as a communication link between the peripheral nervous system and the brain while also mediating reflexes.
Ref: NCERT Class 11 Biology Chapter 18: Neural Control and Coordination Central Nervous System - Spinal Cord Reflex Action and Reflex Arc
The central nervous system (CNS) consists of the brain and spinal cord, which process and coordinate information.
Ref: NCERT Class 11 Biology Chapter 18: Neural Control and Coordination Central Nervous System - Spinal Cord Reflex Action and Reflex Arc
The central nervous system (CNS) consists of the brain and spinal cord, which control voluntary and involuntary actions.

Pick C: Central nervous system. Thinking about Neuron; Structure and Function in a practical way — what the structure does, or what the process achieves — leads you here. Clinically and academically, the same logic shows up again and again: the functional job described in the stem is exactly what Central nervous system does in Neuron; Structure and Function. Hence Central nervous system is correct. Treat this as a building block for the rest of Neuron; Structure and Function; neighbouring topics often reuse the same principle. Keep a one-line summary card for this idea and revisit it before the paper; short, repeated review beats long cramming sessions.
Ref: Animal physiology is Unit 7 of the CSIR NET Life Science Syllabus, covering core body systems. It accounts for roughly 10% of the total marks in Sections B and C.
