Solution

The correct option is B
False

What are the limitations of the nervous system in the human body?
I. The electrical impulses reach only those cells that are connected by the nervous tissue and not each and every cell of the body.
II. Cells cannot continuously create and transmit electrical impulses, once an electrical impulse is generated and transmitted, the cell will take some time to reset its mechanism and create a new electrical impulse.

Q. Which one of the following elements is needed in the human body to transfer electrical signals by nerve cells?

Name the nerve which carries electrical impulses from the cochlea of ear to the brain.

Q. Question 21
Which of the following statements about transmission of nerve impulse is incorrect?

(a) Nerve impulse travels from dendritic end towards axonal end.
(b) At the dendritic end electrical impulses bring about the release of some chemicals which generate an electrical impulse at the axonal end of another neuron.
(c) The chemicals released from the axonal end of one neuron cross the synapse and generate a similar electrical impulse in a dendrite of another neuron.
(d) A neuron transmits electrical impulses not only to another neuron but also to muscle and gland cells.
