#peripheral nervous system MCQ

2 public questions tagged with this topic.

Total number of cranial nerve pairs in humans is:

Go with C — 12. Within Peripheral Nervous System, that statement lines up with the standard definition and the usual exam wording you’ll see. In plain terms, 12 is the option that correctly names the structure, process, or principle asked for in Peripheral Nervous System. Holding that picture in mind makes 12 feel natural rather than something you only memorise. Link the term to a real body example (organ, tissue, or ion flow) so the idea stays concrete under exam pressure. A short mental diagram helps — start from stimulus or structure, follow the pathway, and stop at the functional result described by 12. 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.

A collection of neuron cell bodies outside the CNS is called:

Answer: C) Ganglion. For Neuron; Structure and Function, once you lock onto the key mechanism or definition, Ganglion is the clear fit. If you restate the concept in your own words, this is mainly a definition check, and Ganglion is the standard term or meaning used in Neuron; Structure and Function. So Ganglion 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.
