NEET 2016 Biology Neural Control and Coordination Questions

Use this page to connect the official 2016 paper with current Biology practice. NeetVellum does not claim a chapter appeared in that paper until the official question and final key have been mapped.

Original practice preview

These are current-syllabus NeetVellum questions, shown separately from historical-paper provenance.

Example 1 · difficulty 1/5

The resting membrane potential of a neuron is actively maintained by the sodium–potassium pump operating across the axolemma. The ratio in which this pump transports Na⁺ outwards to K⁺ inwards is:

A. 2 Na⁺ outwards : 3 K⁺ inwards
B. 1 Na⁺ outwards : 1 K⁺ inwards
C. 3 Na⁺ outwards : 2 K⁺ inwards
D. 3 K⁺ outwards : 2 Na⁺ inwards

Example 2 · difficulty 1/5

In a myelinated nerve fibre, the nerve impulse appears to leap from one point to the next along the axon. This saltatory conduction is possible because the voltage-gated ion channels are concentrated at the:

A. nodes of Ranvier
B. myelin sheath secreted by Schwann cells
C. synaptic knobs at the axon terminals
D. entire axolemma uniformly, as in unmyelinated fibres

Example 3 · difficulty 3/5

At a chemical synapse, impulse transmission involves a definite order of events: (i) neurotransmitter binds to receptors on the post-synaptic membrane, (ii) Ca²⁺ channels of the synaptic knob open and Ca²⁺ flows in, (iii) synaptic vesicles fuse with the pre-synaptic membrane and release the transmitter into the cleft, (iv) an action potential arrives at the axon terminal. The correct sequence is:

A. ii → iv → i → iii
B. iv → ii → iii → i
C. iv → iii → ii → i
D. i → ii → iv → iii

Frequently asked questions

Are these official NEET 2016 Biology Neural Control and Coordination PYQs?

No. The previews are original NeetVellum practice questions. A historical item receives a PYQ label only after its official paper and authoritative final answer key are attached. Use the official archive for the source paper.

How should I use the NEET 2016 paper?

Solve the official paper under its original timing, verify against the final key, classify every miss, and then use the linked current-syllabus practice bank to repair the exposed concept.
