Which of the following statement about neurons is incorrect?

Correct answer: D. Like all the living cell, when they mature and divide to form similar cells

  • A. They not only conduct impulses but also generate them
  • B. They are not the only cellular component of nervous system
  • C. They may show limited regenerative capabilities
  • D. Like all the living cell, when they mature and divide to form similar cells

Explanation

They may show limited regenerative capabilities.So, the correct answer is: d) Like all the living cells, when they mature, they divide to form similar cells. This statement is incorrect for neurons as they are mostly in a post-mitotic state and do not divide to form similar cells.

About Coordination and Control

Coordination depends on receptors, neurons, synapses and nerve impulses, with reflex actions traced through the reflex arc and the roles of major brain regions. Chemical coordination covers endocrine glands and hormones, including how hormones regulate growth, metabolism, reproduction and internal balance, unlike rapid nervous control.
