NEET 2017 Biology Neural Control and Coordination Questions

Use this page to connect the official 2017 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.

What to master

neurons, impulse transmission, central nervous system, reflexes and sensory systems.

Original practice preview

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

Example 1 · difficulty 2/5

Which one of the following is NOT a function attributed to the hypothalamus?

A. Regulation of hunger and thirst
B. Maintenance of body temperature
C. Regulation of the sleep–wake cycle
D. Reflex turning of the head towards a sudden visual or auditory stimulus

Example 2 · difficulty 3/5

In the human eye, the region of the retina responsible for the sharpest vision under daylight conditions is characterised by:

A. complete absence of photoreceptor cells, being the point where the optic nerve leaves the eye
B. dense packing of cones only, in a thinned-out portion of the retina
C. equal numbers of rods and cones, located just behind the lens
D. presence of rods only, since rods respond to bright light

Example 3 · difficulty 4/5

During the mechanism of hearing, the hair cells of the organ of Corti are stimulated to generate nerve impulses when:

A. the tectorial membrane, on which the hair cells rest, vibrates against the basilar membrane
B. pressure waves in the perilymph directly bend the stereocilia projecting from the hair cells
C. ripples in the basilar membrane press the hair cells borne on it against the overlying tectorial membrane
D. the stapes pushes the round window inward, vibrating the organ of Corti directly

Frequently asked questions

Are these official NEET 2017 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 2017 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.
