Solution

The correct option is C Non - myelinated nerve fibres do not possess nodes of Ranvier.
The non - myelinated nerve fibres do not possess nodes of Ranvier.
In myelinated nerve fibre, the myelin sheath is not continuous and remains interrupted at some places. These are known as nodes of Ranvier. These help in the saltatory conduction of nerve impulse.

Q. Consider the following statements and state true or false.
1. Synaptic cleft of neurons secrete adrenaline.
2. Myelinated nerve fibres and enveloped with Schwann cells, which form a myelin sheath around the axon.
3. Non-myelinated nerve fibre is enclosed by a Schwann cell that does not form a myelin sheath.

Q. Assertion :Myelin sheath insulates nerve fibre and prevents its depolarization Reason: Nerve impulses are conducted more rapidly in non-myelinated fibres than myelinated ones

Q. Assertion :Non-myelinated nerve fibres do not possess nodes of Ranvier. Reason: This is due to the absence of nissl's bodies in node of Ranvier.
