Chapter 18 Summary — 5 Minute Revision
Chapter 18 ka core flow yaad rakho: Neuron structure (dendrite → cyton → axon → synaptic knob) → resting potential (≈ −70 mV, K⁺ permeability + Na⁺-K⁺ pump) → stimulus lagne pe action potential (Na⁺ influx se depolarization, ≈ +30 mV, phir K⁺ efflux se repolarization) → impulse axon ke through conduct hota hai (myelinated axon me saltatory conduction, node se node) → synapse (electrical ya chemical, neurotransmitter-mediated) se agle neuron tak signal pahunchta hai.
Is signal ko process karta hai CNS (forebrain — cerebrum, thalamus, hypothalamus; midbrain; hindbrain — pons, cerebellum, medulla), jo cranium/vertebral column aur teen meninges (dura, arachnoid, pia) se protected hota hai. PNS (12 cranial + 31 spinal nerve pairs) somatic aur autonomic (sympathetic/parasympathetic) me baata hai. Reflex arc conscious brain involve kiye bina rapid response deta hai. Aur eye (rods/cones, retina, photopigments) + ear (ossicles, cochlea, organ of Corti, semicircular canals) sensory reception ke do main examples hain jo har saal diagram-based questions me poochhe jaate hain.
In-Text Questions — Solutions
Axon ke andar aur bahar resting state me kaunsa ion zyada concentration me hota hai, aur kyun?
Axoplasm (andar) me K⁺ aur negatively charged protein anions zyada concentration me hote hain; axon ke bahar Na⁺ zyada concentration me hota hai. Axolemma K⁺ ke liye zyada permeable hai lekin Na⁺ aur protein anions ke liye kam/almost impermeable — is differential permeability ki wajah se resting potential set hota hai, aur Na⁺-K⁺ pump (3 Na⁺ out : 2 K⁺ in) is gradient ko active maintain karta hai.
Depolarization aur repolarization me kya farak hai?
Depolarization: stimulus lagne pe axolemma Na⁺ ke liye permeable ho jaata hai, Na⁺ andar rush karta hai, andar ka potential negative se positive (≈ +30 mV) ho jaata hai — ye action potential ka rising phase hai.
Repolarization: uske turant baad axolemma K⁺ ke liye zyada permeable ho jaata hai, K⁺ bahar nikalta hai, andar ka potential wapas negative (resting potential ki taraf) chala jaata hai.
Electrical synapse chemical synapse se fast kyun hota hai?
Electrical synapse me dono neurons ki membranes bahut close hoti hain (gap junction ke through protoplasmic continuity), isliye impulse directly ek continuous nerve fibre ki tarah pass ho jaata hai — koi neurotransmitter release/diffusion ka delay nahi hota. Chemical synapse me neurotransmitter ko vesicles se release hoke synaptic cleft cross karna padta hai aur receptor se bind karna padta hai, jisme thoda time lagta hai.
Cerebrum aur cerebellum ke function me kya farak hai?
Cerebrum: thinking, learning, memory, voluntary movement control, sensory perception ka main centre hai — cerebral cortex me motor, sensory aur association areas hote hain.
Cerebellum: hindbrain ka part hai, voluntary movements ko coordinate karta hai aur body posture/balance maintain karta hai — but voluntary action initiate NAHI karta, sirf fine-tune karta hai.
Rods aur cones dono retina me hote hain — inme functional farak kya hai?
Rods: rhodopsin (visual purple) pigment rakhte hain, dim light me sensitive hote hain, black-and-white vision dete hain.
Cones: teen alag photopigments rakhte hain (red/green/blue sensitive), bright light me active hote hain, aur colour vision dete hain. Fovea centralis me sirf cones hote hain isliye ye sabse sharp vision ka point hai.
Middle ear ke teen ossicles kya kaam karte hain?
Malleus, incus aur stapes — ye teeno ek chain me connected hote hain: malleus tympanic membrane se attached hota hai aur stapes cochlea ke oval window se. Jab tympanic membrane vibrate hoti hai to ye ossicles chain us vibration ko amplify karke oval window tak transmit karte hain, jisse cochlea ke andar perilymph me pressure waves create hoti hain.

Exercise Questions — Solutions (Q1–Q10)
1. Human brain ka sabse zyada developed part kaun sa hai?
Cerebrum human brain ka sabse zyada developed aur sabse bada part hai — forebrain ka hissa hai, do cerebral hemispheres me bata hua hota hai jo corpus callosum se connected rehte hain.
- Cerebral cortex (grey matter) convoluted hota hai — gyri (ridges) aur sulci (grooves) banaata hai, jisse surface area badh jaata hai.
- Isi badhe surface area ki wajah se thinking, learning, memory, voluntary action jaisi complex functions possible hoti hain — jo cerebrum ko sabse developed banata hai.
2. Resting potential define karo.
Resting potential woh potential difference hai jo axolemma ke across tab hota hai jab neuron kisi stimulus se excited nahi hota — axon ka andar bahar ke muqable negative (≈ −70 mV) rehta hai.
- Andar K⁺ aur protein anions zyada, bahar Na⁺ zyada hota hai.
- Axolemma K⁺ ke liye zyada permeable, Na⁺ ke liye kam permeable hota hai — isliye net negative charge andar accumulate hoti hai.
- Na⁺-K⁺ pump (3 Na⁺ out : 2 K⁺ in, ATP-dependent) is gradient ko continuously maintain karta hai.
3. Neuron ki structure describe karo.
Neuron ke main parts:
- Cell body (Cyton): nucleus + Nissl granules rakhta hai, dendrites se signal receive karta hai.
- Dendrites: chhote branched processes jo cyton se nikalte hain aur signal ko cell body ki taraf le jaate hain.
- Axon: lamba single process, cyton se axon hillock ke through nikalta hai, impulse ko cell body se door le jaata hai.
- Myelin sheath: Schwann cells se bana insulating layer, axon ko cover karta hai — beech-beech me gaps hote hain jinhe nodes of Ranvier kehte hain.
- Axon terminal / synaptic knob: axon ka end, synaptic vesicles (neurotransmitter) rakhta hai, agle neuron ya effector se synapse banata hai.
4. Naam batao: (a) Nervous system ki structural aur functional unit (b) Do adjacent neurons ke beech junction (c) Neurons jo receptor organs se CNS tak impulse le jaate hain (d) Neurons jo CNS se effector organs tak impulse le jaate hain.
(a) Neuron — nervous system ki structural aur functional unit hai.
(b) Synapse — do adjacent neurons ke beech ka junction hai.
(c) Afferent (sensory) neurons — receptor organs se CNS tak impulse transmit karte hain.
(d) Efferent (motor) neurons — CNS se effector organs (muscles/glands) tak impulse transmit karte hain.
5. Forebrain ke parts list karo.
Forebrain ke teen main parts hote hain:
- Cerebrum: largest part, thinking/sensory/voluntary motor control ka centre, do hemispheres me divided.
- Thalamus: sensory aur motor signalling ka major coordinating (relay) centre.
- Hypothalamus: thalamus ke neeche, body temperature, hunger/thirst regulate karta hai, aur neurosecretory hormones bhi secrete karta hai (limbic system ke saath emotions me bhi role hai).
6. In processes ko explain karo: (a) Action potential generation me Na⁺ ions ka role (b) Synaptic transmission ka mechanism.
(a) Na⁺ ka role in action potential:
- Threshold stimulus lagte hi axolemma ki permeability Na⁺ ke liye achanak badh jaati hai.
- Na⁺ concentration gradient (bahar zyada, andar kam) ki wajah se Na⁺ tezi se andar rush karta hai — isse andar ka potential negative se positive (≈ +30 mV) ho jaata hai, jise depolarization kehte hain — yahi action potential ka rising phase hai.
- Uske baad Na⁺ channels close ho jaate hain aur K⁺ channels khulte hain — K⁺ bahar nikalta hai aur potential wapas negative ho jaata hai (repolarization).
(b) Synaptic transmission ka mechanism (chemical synapse):
- Nerve impulse presynaptic axon terminal tak pahunchta hai.
- Ca²⁺ channels khulte hain, synaptic vesicles presynaptic membrane se fuse hoke neurotransmitter ko synaptic cleft me release karte hain.
- Neurotransmitter diffuse hoke postsynaptic membrane ke specific receptors se bind hota hai.
- Isse postsynaptic membrane me ion channels khulte hain, naya potential generate hota hai — excitatory (EPSP) ya inhibitory (IPSP), neurotransmitter aur receptor type par depend karta hai.
7. Compare karo: (a) CNS vs PNS (b) Sympathetic vs Parasympathetic neural system (c) Afferent vs Efferent neurons.
(a) CNS vs PNS: CNS (brain + spinal cord) information ko integrate/process karta hai aur cranium/vertebral column se protected hota hai; PNS (cranial + spinal nerves) CNS ko baaki body se connect karta hai aur signals carry karta hai, protection nahi hoti.
(b) Sympathetic vs Parasympathetic: Sympathetic system 'fight or flight' response ke liye prepare karta hai (heart rate badhata hai, digestion slow karta hai), neurotransmitter noradrenaline use karta hai; Parasympathetic system 'rest and digest' state maintain karta hai (heart rate ghataata hai, digestion badhata hai), neurotransmitter acetylcholine use karta hai — dono antagonistic hote hain.
(c) Afferent vs Efferent: Afferent (sensory) neurons receptor se CNS tak impulse le jaate hain; Efferent (motor) neurons CNS se effector (muscle/gland) tak impulse le jaate hain.
8. Define karo: (a) Resting potential (b) Action potential (c) Conduction of nerve impulse.
(a) Resting potential: non-stimulated axon ke across potential difference (≈ −70 mV, andar negative) — differential ion permeability aur Na⁺-K⁺ pump se maintain hota hai.
(b) Action potential: threshold stimulus milne pe Na⁺ influx se generate hone wala rapid potential change (≈ +30 mV tak) — yahi nerve impulse hai.
(c) Conduction of nerve impulse: action potential axon ke ek point se dusre point tak wave ki tarah travel karta hai; unmyelinated axon me continuous, myelinated axon me node-to-node saltatory conduction (jo faster hota hai).
9. Briefly answer: (a) Ear ka kaunsa part sound ka pitch aur loudness determine karta hai? (b) Body balance maintain karne me kaunsa part help karta hai? (c) Human body me sound transmission ka path likho.
(a) Cochlea (specifically organ of Corti aur basilar membrane) sound ka pitch aur intensity (loudness) determine karta hai.
(b) Internal ear ka vestibular apparatus — semicircular canals (crista ampullaris, dynamic balance) aur utricle/saccule (macula, static balance/gravity) — body balance maintain karta hai.
(c) Sound transmission path: Pinna → external auditory canal → tympanic membrane (vibrate) → ear ossicles (malleus → incus → stapes, amplify) → oval window → perilymph (scala vestibuli) → helicotrema ke through scala tympani → basilar membrane ripple → organ of Corti ke hair cells bend → nerve impulse generate → auditory nerve → auditory cortex (temporal lobe) me sound interpret hota hai.
10. In brief describe: (a) Middle ear aur uske associated parts (b) Eye aur uske associated parts.
(a) Middle ear: tympanic cavity hai jisme teen ossicles hote hain — malleus (tympanic membrane se attached), incus (beech me), stapes (oval window se attached). Ye chain sound vibrations ko amplify karke internal ear tak transmit karti hai. Middle ear Eustachian tube se pharynx tak connected hota hai, jo dono taraf air pressure equalize karti hai.
(b) Eye: teen layers se bana hota hai — outer sclera (opaque, front me transparent cornea), middle choroid (vascular, front me ciliary body + iris jisme pupil opening hoti hai), inner retina (photoreceptor rods aur cones rakhta hai). Biconvex lens ciliary body se ligaments ke through hold hota hai; lens ke aage aqueous humour aur peeche vitreous humour hota hai. Retina me optic nerve exit point pe blind spot hota hai, aur uske paas fovea (sirf cones, sabse sharp vision) hota hai.

Common Mistakes — Yahan Marks Kat te Hain
- Resting potential (≈ −70 mV) aur action potential peak (≈ +30 mV) ki values ulta yaad karna — resting me andar negative, action potential ke peak pe andar positive hota hai.
- Sochna ki simple diffusion hi resting potential banata hai — asal wajah differential ion permeability (K⁺ zyada, Na⁺ kam) + Na⁺-K⁺ active pump hai, sirf diffusion nahi.
- Monosynaptic aur polysynaptic reflex arc confuse karna — knee-jerk reflex monosynaptic hai (sirf sensory-motor neuron, koi interneuron nahi), zyadatar reflexes polysynaptic hote hain.
- Rods aur cones ka function swap kar dena — rods dim light/black-white vision ke liye (rhodopsin), cones bright light/colour vision ke liye (3 photopigments) hote hain.
- Cerebrum aur cerebellum ko same function ka samajhna — cerebrum thinking/voluntary action ka centre hai, cerebellum posture/balance aur fine motor coordination ke liye hota hai, ye alag parts hain.
- Sympathetic aur parasympathetic ke neurotransmitters ulta likhna — sympathetic noradrenaline release karta hai (fight or flight), parasympathetic acetylcholine (rest and digest) release karta hai.
