Unit 3B: Neural Control and Coordination — Important Questions & Answers
Which part of the human nervous system controls voluntary actions and connects the central nervous system to the rest of the body?
- A. Peripheral nervous system
- B. Autonomic nervous system
- C. Central nervous system
- D. Somatic nervous system
Answer: D. Somatic nervous system
The somatic nervous system is responsible for voluntary actions and carries motor commands from the CNS to skeletal muscles.

Which statement about a nerve impulse is correct?
- A. It is always carried only by dendrites
- B. It is an electrochemical signal transmitted along a neuron
- C. It occurs only inside the brain
- D. It is produced only in sensory organs
Answer: B. It is an electrochemical signal transmitted along a neuron
A nerve impulse is an electrochemical change that travels along the neuron membrane.
A nerve impulse is an electrochemical change that travels along the neuron membrane.
The ossicles of the middle ear are responsible for:
- A. Producing sound waves
- B. Amplifying vibrations and transmitting them to the inner ear
- C. Detecting sound pressure directly
- D. Maintaining balance only
Answer: B. Amplifying vibrations and transmitting them to the inner ear
The malleus, incus, and stapes amplify sound vibrations and pass them to the cochlea through the oval window.

In the human eye, the image of an object is formed on the retina because the lens is:
- A. Convex and capable of changing its focal length
- B. Flat and fixed in shape
- C. Concave and immobile
- D. Transparent but not refractive
Answer: A. Convex and capable of changing its focal length
The eye lens is convex and changes its curvature during accommodation to focus images on the retina.
