Cerebellum is primarily involved in:

Answer: B) Coordination and balance. For Structure and Function of Nervous System, once you lock onto the key mechanism or definition, Coordination and balance is the clear fit. If you restate the concept in your own words, the functional job described in the stem is exactly what Coordination and balance does in Structure and Function of Nervous System. So Coordination and balance is the clean, accurate selection. If a similar stem appears later, start from the same core fact and you will land on the same kind of answer. In class notes, highlight this same phrase next to the related diagram so the wording and the picture reinforce each other.

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.

Suprachiasmatic nucleus is involved in regulation of:

Pick B: Circadian rhythm. Thinking about Structure and Function of Nervous System 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: Circadian rhythm is the option that correctly names the structure, process, or principle asked for in Structure and Function of Nervous System. Hence Circadian rhythm is correct. Treat this as a building block for the rest of Structure and Function of Nervous System; 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.

Most synapses between neurons are structurally classified as:

Axodendritic (C) is the right choice. This sits at the heart of Synapse: the wording points straight to what is happening in the tissue or organ system. A useful study habit is to ask what the structure or process is for: Axodendritic is the option that correctly names the structure, process, or principle asked for in Synapse. That reasoning supports Axodendritic. One solid sentence about why this works is enough for recall — you do not need a long essay for every MCQ. When you practise, cover the choices first, write Axodendritic from memory, then reveal the letter — that habit builds real recall for Synapse.
