Neural Control and Coordination

A Biology chapter of the NEET syllabus, and how to practise it for the computer-based exam.

Exam rules change between cycles. Confirm dates, syllabus and pattern against NTA's official site. We are not NTA.

Weightage: what the paper actually did

Neural Control and Coordination carried 2 questions 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.

Sample PYQs from this chapter

Real questions NTA asked from Neural Control and Coordination, with the answer and the working. Try before you peek.

Question 1 · NEET 2026

Which of the following is not a part of human central neural system?
  1. A.Arachnoid
  2. B.Dura mater
  3. C.Pia mater
  4. D.Pericardium
Answer and explanation

Answer: D

The pericardium is the double-walled sac enclosing the HEART and belongs to the circulatory system. The other three are the meninges - the tough outer dura mater, the web-like middle arachnoid and the delicate inner pia mater - which wrap the brain and spinal cord. NCERT Class 11, Neural Control and Coordination.

Question 2 · 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.

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 NEET mini mock with answers.
