Question

Match the concerned human nervous system with their associated functions
\[ \begin{array}{|l|l|} \hline \textbf{Nervous System} & \textbf{Function} \\ \hline \text{P. Sympathetic} & \text{(iv) Fight-or-flight system} \\ \hline \text{Q. Parasympathetic} & \text{(iii) Maintaining body functions under normal conditions} \\ \hline \text{R. Afferent} & \text{(ii) Carrying messages from senses to Central Nervous System} \\ \hline \text{S. Efferent} & \text{(i) Carrying messages from Central Nervous System to muscles and glands} \\ \hline \end{array} \]

• A. P–iv; Q–iii; R–ii; S–i
• B. P–iii; Q–i; R–ii; S–iv
• C. P–iv; Q–ii; R–i; S–iii
• D. P–iv; Q–iii; R–i; S–ii

Hint:

Remember: {Sympathetic = Fight-or-flight}, {Parasympathetic = Rest-and-digest}, {Afferent = Sensory}, {Efferent = Motor}.

Answer 1

The Correct Option is A

Step 1: Analyze each component.
- P. Sympathetic – (iv) Fight-or-flight system: Mobilizes the body under stress.
- Q. Parasympathetic – (iii) Maintaining body functions under normal conditions: Supports “rest and digest.”
- R. Afferent – (ii) Carrying messages from senses to Central Nervous System: Transmits sensory information.
- S. Efferent – (i) Carrying messages from Central Nervous System to muscles and glands: Sends motor commands.
Thus, the correct matching is: \[ \boxed{{P–iv; Q–iii; R–ii; S–i}} \]
