Class 11 Biology — Chapter 18: Neural Control and Coordination
60 practice questions · 20 Easy · 20 Medium · 20 Hard
Practise Class 11 Biology Chapter 18, "Neural Control and Coordination", with 60 NCERT-aligned multiple-choice questions. The set is split into 20 Easy, 20 Medium and 20 Hard questions, so you can warm up on the fundamentals and then push into the exam-level problems that separate top scorers in CBSE Board exams and NEET UG.
"Neural Control and Coordination" is one of the chapters where diagram-based recall, terminology and NCERT line-by-line accuracy really pays off. Each MCQ on this chapter is timed and uses exam-grade marking (+2 correct, −1 wrong, 0 skipped), training the same accuracy-under-pressure that real papers demand. Every question carries a short explanation, so a wrong answer becomes a quick lesson rather than a dead end — the fastest way to close gaps before a test.
Use this chapter as targeted revision: attempt the Easy set first to confirm your basics on Neural Control and Coordination, then move to Medium and Hard to test application and problem-solving. Your accuracy, streaks and XP save automatically, and the chapter feeds into your overall Class 11 Biology mastery score. A few sample questions are shown below; sign in free to practise all 60.
Key concepts: Neural Control and Coordination (Class 11 Biology)
This chapter covers the human nervous system, the structure of a neuron, the nerve impulse, the synapse, and the parts of the brain.
- Neuron
- The structural and functional unit of the nervous system, with dendrites, cell body and an axon.
- Nerve impulse
- Travels as an electrical signal; the resting potential is reversed during an action potential (depolarisation).
- Synapse
- Junction between neurons; impulses cross chemically via neurotransmitters (or electrically).
- Central & peripheral systems
- CNS (brain and spinal cord) and PNS (nerves); the PNS includes autonomic (sympathetic/parasympathetic) divisions.
- The brain
- Forebrain (cerebrum, thalamus, hypothalamus), midbrain and hindbrain (cerebellum, medulla) coordinate body functions.
💡 Exam tips for Neural Control and Coordination
- The resting membrane is polarised (more Na⁺ outside); an impulse is a wave of depolarisation along the axon.
- Sympathetic = 'fight or flight'; parasympathetic = 'rest and digest' — opposite autonomic effects.
Sample questions
Long process of a neuron carrying impulse away from cell body:
Axon conducts away; dendrites receive.
Cerebellum is responsible for:
Fine motor control and posture.
Medulla oblongata controls:
Vital autonomic centres.
