#neuron physiology MCQ

3 public questions tagged with this topic.

Synapse

Fast axonal transport typically moves at a rate of:

Pick C: 50–400 mm/day. Thinking about Synapse 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: 50–400 mm/day is the option that correctly names the structure, process, or principle asked for in Synapse. Hence 50–400 mm/day is correct. Treat this as a building block for the rest of Synapse; 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. If the wording feels dense, translate it into everyday language first, then map that plain sentence back onto 50–400 mm/day.

Action potential

Resting membrane potential of a typical neuron is approximately:

The correct answer is B: -70 mV. In Action potential, this idea is central because it matches how the body actually works in everyday teaching examples. Put simply, -70 mV is the option that correctly names the structure, process, or principle asked for in Action potential. That is why -70 mV is the option that holds up when you check it against basic physiology. When you revise, say the answer out loud with one short reason attached; that sticks better than rote lists. Remember that physiology questions reward precise language: name the process, the location, and the outcome, then match that to the option text.

Neuron; Structure and Function

Protein synthesis does not occur in axons because of absence of:

Pick C: Rough endoplasmic reticulum. 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 stem is asking for the statement that does not fit the usual rule, and Rough endoplasmic reticulum is that exception in the context of Neuron; Structure and Function. Hence Rough endoplasmic reticulum 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.
