📑 Neural Control and Coordination — NEET 2025 & 2026 Long-Form MCQs

The long, multi-statement questions that dominated NEET 2025 & 2026 — each covers 5-6 concepts at once, so they double as fast full-chapter revision.

  1. Q1. Which of the following statements correctly describe the Visceral Nervous System (VNS) and its functional relationship within the human neural system? S1. The VNS is a distinct subdivision of the Central Nervous System (CNS) that processes internal sensory information. S2. It comprises a complex network of nerves, fibres, ganglia, and plexuses. S3. Impulses travel exclusively from the viscera to the Central Nervous System via the VNS. S4. The VNS is responsible for transmitting regulatory impulses from the CNS to the viscera. S5. The VNS functions under voluntary control, allowing conscious regulation of visceral activities. S6. Myelinated nerve fibres are rarely found in the VNS, which primarily consists of unmyelinated fibres. Choose the correct option:
  2. Q2. Which of the following statements about the human neural system are NOT correct? S1. The central neural system (CNS) is composed solely of the brain. S2. Afferent nerve fibres transmit regulatory impulses from the CNS to peripheral tissues. S3. The somatic neural system primarily controls the involuntary smooth muscles of the body. S4. The visceral nervous system is a component of the peripheral nervous system. S5. Unmyelinated nerve fibres are typically found only in the central neural system, unlike myelinated fibres. S6. The autonomic neural system is further classified into sympathetic and parasympathetic divisions. Choose the option with only the NOT correct statements:
  3. Q3. Which of the following statements accurately describe the characteristics and advantages of impulse conduction in a myelinated axon? S1: Impulse conduction in myelinated axons is faster due to the process of saltatory conduction. S2: The myelin sheath acts as an electrical insulator, preventing continuous depolarisation along the axon. S3: Myelinated nerve fibres are predominantly found in the autonomous and somatic neural systems. S4: Nodes of Ranvier are gaps in the myelin sheath where action potentials are regenerated. S5: Compared to unmyelinated fibres of similar diameter, myelinated fibres consume less metabolic energy for impulse transmission.
  4. Q4. Which of the following statements regarding the human cerebral hemispheres and cortex are correct? S1: The cerebrum forms the major part of the human brain, divided longitudinally into two cerebral hemispheres connected by the corpus callosum. S2: The cerebral cortex is called the grey matter due to a high concentration of myelinated nerve fibres. S3: Association areas within the cerebral cortex are crucial for complex functions such as intersensory associations, memory, and communication. S4: The inner part of the cerebral hemisphere consists of fibres of tracts covered with myelin sheath, referred to as white matter. S5: The cerebrum primarily wraps around the hypothalamus, which serves as a major coordinating centre for sensory and motor signaling.

The thalamus acts as a major coordinating centre for sensory and motor signals. 5. The cerebral cortex appears white due to the presence of axonal tracts.
  8. Q8. Which of the following statements are correct? 1. The PNS includes afferent and efferent fibres. 2. Afferent fibres transmit impulses from CNS to tissues/organs. 3. Somatic neural system relays impulses from CNS to skeletal muscles. 4. Autonomic neural system transmits impulses to smooth and involuntary organs. 5. Sympathetic and parasympathetic systems are subdivisions of the autonomic neural system.
  9. Q9. Which of the following statements are correct? 1. The resting potential of a neuron is maintained by sodium–potassium pumps that transport 3 Na⁺ out and 2 K⁺ in. 2. Action potential is generated when the membrane becomes freely permeable to K⁺ ions first. 3. Electrical synapses allow direct current flow and are faster than chemical synapses. 4. Chemical synapses involve neurotransmitters released into the synaptic cleft. 5. Resting potential refers to the negative charge on the inner surface of the axonal membrane.
  10. Q10. Arrange the following events of generation and conduction of a nerve impulse in the correct sequence: 1. Sodium ions (Na⁺) enter the axon causing depolarisation. 2. Action potential is generated at the site of stimulus. 3. Current flows to adjacent regions, leading to depolarisation ahead. 4. Potassium ions (K⁺) diffuse out restoring resting potential. 5. Sodium–potassium pump maintains ionic gradients across resting membrane.

Sample NEET PYQs — Neural Control and Coordination

NEET 2016 — Q1

Which of the following statements is not correct?

  1. A. An action potential in an axon does not move backward because the segment behind is in a refractory phase
  2. B. Depolarisation of hair cells of cochlea results in the opening of the mechanically gated potassium-ion channels.
  3. C. Rods are very sensitive and contribute to daylight vision.
  4. D. In the knee-jerk reflex, stimulus is the stretching of muscle and response is its contraction.

Explanation: Answer: (c) — The statement that rods contribute to daylight (photopic) vision is not correct. Solution: Rods function in dim-light (scotopic) vision, while cones handle bright-light/colour vision, so attributing daylight vision to rods is wrong (eye photoreceptor detail is removed content, handled here in prose only). On the in-syllabus nerve-impulse side, after depolarisation K+ rapidly diffuses out and restores the resting potential, making the fibre once more responsive to further stimulation — a correct statement about the action potential and refractory recovery. NCERT Reference: Ch 18, p.233, lines 26-28 — "restores the resting potential of the membrane at the site of excitation"

NEET 2017 — Q2

Receptor sites for neurotransmitters are present on

  1. A. Membranes of synaptic vesicles
  2. B. Pre-synaptic membrane
  3. C. Tips of axons
  4. D. Post-synaptic membrane

Explanation: Answer: (d) Post-synaptic membrane. Solution: At a chemical synapse, the arriving impulse triggers release of neurotransmitters into the synaptic cleft. These released neurotransmitters bind to their specific receptors located on the post-synaptic membrane. This binding opens ion channels and generates a new (excitatory or inhibitory) potential in the post-synaptic neuron, so the receptor sites must be on the post-synaptic membrane. NCERT Reference: Ch 18, p.235, lines 03-05 — "released neurotransmitters bind to their specific receptors, present on the post-synaptic membrane"

NEET 2017 — Q3

Myelin sheath is produced by

  1. A. Schwann Cells and Oligodendrocytes
  2. B. Astrocytes and Schwann Cells
  3. C. Oligodendrocytes and Osteoclasts
  4. D. Osteoclasts and Astrocytes

Explanation: Answer: (a) Schwann Cells and Oligodendrocytes. Solution: In myelinated nerve fibres the axon is enveloped with Schwann cells, which form a myelin sheath around the axon. In the peripheral nervous system the myelin is made by Schwann cells, while in the CNS it is produced by oligodendrocytes (extension content) — hence both cell types make myelin. NCERT directly names Schwann cells as forming the myelin sheath. NCERT Reference: Ch 18, p.232, lines 18-19 — "The myelinated nerve fibres are enveloped with Schwann cells, which form a myelin sheath"

NEET 2018 — Q4

Which of the following structures or regions is incorrectly paired with its functions?

  1. A. Hypothalamus : production of releasing hormones and regulation of temperature, hunger and thirst.
  2. B. Limbic system : consists of fibre tracts that interconnect different regions of brain; controls movement.
  3. C. Medulla oblongata : controls respiration and cardiovascular reflexes.
  4. D. Corpus callosum : band of fibers connecting left and right cerebral hemispheres.

Explanation: Answer: (b) Limbic system: Forebrain, controls the movement. Solution: The limbic system does NOT control movement; together with the hypothalamus it regulates sexual behaviour, emotional reactions (excitement, pleasure, rage and fear) and motivation. So pairing the limbic system with 'controls movement' is the incorrect pair. The other listed structure-function pairings are correctly matched. NCERT Reference: Ch 18, p.236, lines 28-29 — "with the hypothalamus, it is involved in the regulation of sexual behaviour,"
