Movement of tongue muscle is controlled by
facial nerve
trigeminal nerve
hypoglossal nerve
vagus nerve
C.
hypoglossal nerve
There are twelve cranial nerves in mammals. Hypoglossal (the 12th) cranial nerve is responsible for movement of neck and tongue. It contains both sensory and motor fibres.
Fcaial nerve (7th nerve) helps in contracting and producing facial expressions.
Trigeminal nerve carries sensation from a person's face to brain.
Vagus nerve is the longest nerve of the body. It helps to regulate many critical aspects of human physiology such as, heart rate, blood pressure etc.
Which centre is stimulated during increase in body temperature?
Anterior hypothalamus
Posterior hypothalamus
Limbic system
Red nucleus
Which of the following substances can cure Parkinson's disease?
GABA
Acetylcholine
Dopamine
Glutamic acid
Vegus nerve is a
mixed X cranial nerve
mixed XI cranial nerve
mixed X thoracic nerve
sensory X cranial nerve
Third and fourth ventricles of the brain are connected by
aqueduct of Sylvious
foramen of Monro
foramen of Magnum
corpus callosum
During synaptic transmission of nerve impulse, neurotransmitter (P) is released from synaptic vesicles by the action of ions (Q). Choose the correct P and Q.
P - Acetylcholine; Q - Ca2+
P - Acetylcholine; Q - Na+
P - GABA; Q - Na+
P - Cholinesterase; Q - Ca2+
