Question

Match the following.

\[ \begin{array}{|c|l|c|l|} \hline \text{List-I} & & \text{List-II} & \\ \hline A & \text{Astrocytes} & \text{I} & \text{Phagocytes} \\ \hline B & \text{Oligodendrocytes} & \text{II} & \text{Neurilemma} \\ \hline C & \text{Microglial cells} & \text{III} & \text{Myelin sheath} \\ \hline D & \text{Schwann cells} & \text{IV} & \text{Ciliated cells} \\ & & \text{V} & \text{Blood--brain barrier} \\ \hline \end{array} \]

• A. A--V, B--III, C--II, D--IV
• B. A--IV, B--III, C--I, D--II
• C. A--V, B--III, C--I, D--II
• D. A--I, B--II, C--III, D--IV

Hint:

Functions of neuroglial cells: \[ \boxed{ \begin{aligned} &\text{Astrocytes} &&\rightarrow \text{Blood--brain barrier} &\text{Oligodendrocytes} &&\rightarrow \text{Myelin (CNS)} &\text{Microglia} &&\rightarrow \text{Phagocytes} &\text{Schwann cells} &&\rightarrow \text{Neurilemma (PNS)} \end{aligned} } \]

Answer 1

The Correct Option is C

Step 1: Recall the functions of neuroglial cells. \[ \begin{aligned} \text{Astrocytes} &\rightarrow \text{Blood--brain barrier} \text{Oligodendrocytes} &\rightarrow \text{Myelin sheath in CNS} \text{Microglial cells} &\rightarrow \text{Phagocytes of CNS} \text{Schwann cells} &\rightarrow \text{Neurilemma and myelin sheath in PNS} \end{aligned} \]

Step 2: Match the lists. \[ \boxed{ A-V,\qquad B-III,\qquad C-I,\qquad D-II } \]

Step 3: Choose the correct option. Hence, \[ \boxed{(C)} \] is the correct answer.
