Neural Control and Coordination

Neuron structure, resting and action potentials, impulse conduction, synaptic transmission, and the parts of the human brain make up this chapter. NEET asks mechanism questions here: what depolarises, what the synapse releases, and which brain part does what.

Weightage: what the paper actually did

Neural Control and Coordination carried 1 question in the NEET 2026 paper. One paper is a data point, not a destiny: NTA moves weight between chapters every cycle, which is why the weightage tables deserve care. The stable facts are the paper's shape: 180 questions, 720 marks, +4 right, −1 wrong.

Question 1 · NEET 2026

The specific receptors for neurotransmitters in a synapse are present on __________.
  1. A.Schwann cell
  2. B.Pre-synaptic membrane
  3. C.Myelin sheath
  4. D.Post-synaptic membrane
Answer and explanation

Answer: D

At a chemical synapse, the neurotransmitter is released from the pre-synaptic neuron into the synaptic cleft and binds to specific receptors located on the post-synaptic membrane, opening ion channels and generating a new potential. Therefore the neurotransmitter receptors are present on the post-synaptic membrane, not on the pre-synaptic membrane, Schwann cell, or myelin sheath. Why the other options are wrong: - (A) Schwann cells form the myelin sheath; they do not bear neurotransmitter receptors at the synapse. - (B) The pre-synaptic membrane releases the neurotransmitter, it does not carry the receptors. - (C) Myelin sheath is an insulating layer, not a receptor site.

How to practise Neural Control and Coordination

Chapter by chapter, against real past-paper questions, on a screen: NEET is computer based from 2027. Read the chapter once, then attempt its PYQs until your accuracy stops climbing, and let the wrong answers tell you which lines to reread. If the chapter keeps refusing to stick, that has its own guide. There is also a free 12-question mock on the exam screen.

Questions

How many questions did Neural Control and Coordination have in NEET 2026?

Neural Control and Coordination carried 1 question in the NEET 2026 paper. Weightage shifts between cycles, so treat it as a probability, not a promise.

Where can I practise Neural Control and Coordination PYQs for NEET?

In the BrainIt app, free until the 2027 exam: its bank holds 50,000 past NTA questions tagged to all 83 chapters, including this one, with accuracy tracked per chapter. A sample question from this chapter is on this page.

Is Neural Control and Coordination important for NEET 2027?

It is part of the Biology syllabus the paper draws from, and NEET 2027 is computer based, so practise it on a screen. Your own accuracy in the chapter matters more than any weightage table: a heavy chapter you already score well on needs less time than a light one you keep missing.
