Why (C) is correct:
- (A) White matter consists of axons (fibres) that are covered with a myelin sheath, giving it a whitish appearance. So, A-III is correct.
- (B) Medulla oblongata is a part of the hindbrain that controls many involuntary functions, including vital reflexes like breathing, heart rate, and also regulates gastric secretions. So, B-IV is correct.
- (C) Acetylcholine is a well-known neurotransmitter that plays a crucial role in muscle contraction and various brain functions. So, C-I is correct.
- (D) Multipolar neurons are characterized by having one axon and two or more dendrites. They are the most common type of neuron in the central nervous system, including the cerebral cortex. So, D-II is correct.
Why other options are wrong:
A) Incorrect pairing for Medulla, Acetylcholine, and Multipolar neurons.
B) Incorrect pairing for White matter, Medulla, and Multipolar neurons.
D) Incorrect pairing for White matter, Medulla, and Acetylcholine.
Common Mistake: Students often confuse the functions of different parts of the brain, especially between the medulla, cerebellum, and cerebrum. Also, distinguishing between white and grey matter is crucial.
NEET Tip / Mnemonic: Remember that White matter = Myelinated axons (W-M-A) and Grey matter = Cell bodies + unmyelinated axons (G-C-U). For neurotransmitters, think of 'A' for Acetylcholine as a primary one.
Correct Answer: (C)
A-III, B-IV, C-I, D-II
