Question

The venom of cobra affects the

• A. Digestive system
• B. Circulatory system
• C. Nervous system
• D. Respiratory system

Answer 1

The correct option is C Nervous system

Cobra belongs to the family Elapidae. All members of Elapidae produce neurotoxic venom.

This venom causes harm to the nervous system of prey directly. Neurotoxins inhibit neurons to control the ion concentrations across the cell membrane, or communication between neurons across a synapse. Thus the function of the nervous system gets arrested.

So the correct option is C.
