Henle's loop
— Concept: This question tests your knowledge of the basic components of the nervous system versus other organ systems.Concept: This question tests your knowledge of the basic components of the nervous system versus other organ systems.
Why (D) Henle's loop is correct: Henle's loop is a crucial part of the nephron, which is the functional unit of the kidney. It plays a vital role in concentrating urine and maintaining water balance in the body. The other options are all directly associated with the structure and function of a neuron or the nervous system.
Why other options are wrong:
- (A) Schwann cells: These are glial cells that form the myelin sheath around axons in the peripheral nervous system.
- (B) Nissl's granules: These are granular bodies found in the cytoplasm of neurons, rich in rough endoplasmic reticulum and ribosomes, involved in protein synthesis.
- (C) Synaptic knob: This is the swollen end of an axon terminal that forms a synapse with another neuron or effector cell, involved in neurotransmitter release.
Common Mistake: Students might confuse terms related to different organ systems if they don't have a clear understanding of their specific locations and functions.
NEET Tip / Mnemonic: When you see a list of biological terms, quickly categorize them by the organ system they belong to. This helps in identifying the odd one out.
Correct Answer: (D)
