Assertion: In Acromegaly Bitemporal hemianopia may occur. Reason: Pituitary adenoma compresses optic chiasm.

Assertion: The duration of spinal shock is more in humans than frogs and cats. Reason: The duration of spinal shock is proportionate to the degree of encephalization of motor functions in various species

Assertion: In myopia, the distant objects appear blurred or unclear. Reason: Image is formed behind the retina.

Assertion: In skeletal muscle the twitch duration is shorter in fast muscle fibres in comparison with slow muscle fibres. Reason: On the basis of duration of their twitch contraction, motor units are divided into slow and fast units.

Assertion: Synaptic transmission in chemical synapse is unidirectional. Reason: The presynaptic terminal releases neurotransmitters, which bind to specific receptors located only on the postsynaptic membrane
