Answer:
1. Answer : (a) epinephrine
Explanation: Adrenaline hormone is known as the Emergency Hormone or Epinephrine because it initiates a rapid reaction that helps the person think rapidly and respond to stress. It raises the rate of metabolism, dilating the blood vessels going into the heart and brain.
2. Answer : (b) Aldosterone
Explanation: Aldosterone is a mineralocorticoid hormone that is secreted by the adrenal cortex and regulates the balance of sodium and potassium in the body.
3. Answer : (d) Pancreas
Explanation: Glucagon is a hormone that is involved in controlling blood sugar (glucose) levels. It is produced by the alpha cells, found in the islets of Langerhans, in the pancreas, from where it is released into the bloodstream.
4. Answer : (c) increasing blood calcium levels
Explanation: PTH or parathyroid hormone is also called hypercalcemic hormone as it increase the calcium level in the blood.
5. Answer : (a) progesterone
Explanation: The corpus luteum is responsible for producing the hormone progesterone, which stimulates the uterus to thicken even more in preparation for the implantation of a fertilized egg. The hormone estrogen is also elevated during this time to prepare the uterus for implantation.
6. Answer : (a) melatonin
Explanation: Melatonin, primarily released by the pineal gland, is a hormone that regulates the sleep-wake cycle. Melatonin is involved in controlling the circadian rhythms of physiological functions in animals, including sleep timing, control of blood pressure, seasonal reproduction, and many others.
7. Answer : (c) Somatostatin
Explanation: Somatostatin from the hypothalamus inhibits the pituitary gland's secretion of growth hormone and thyroid-stimulating hormone. In addition, somatostatin is produced in the pancreas and inhibits the secretion of other pancreatic hormones such as insulin and glucagon.
8. Answer : (b) Are lipid-soluble
Explanation: Steroid hormones all are made up of cholesterol which is a lipid derivative synthesized by the liver cells. These hormones are lipid-soluble which is why their molecules pass freely through the lipid bilayer of the plasma membrane.
9. Answer : (a) Blood calcium level
Explanation: Parathyroid hormone regulates calcium levels in the blood, largely by increasing the levels when they are too low. It does this through its actions on the kidneys, bones, and intestine: Bones – parathyroid hormone stimulates the release of calcium from large calcium stores in the bones into the bloodstream.
10. Answer : (a) Eyes
Explanation: Meibomian glands are anatomically located in the tarsal plate of both upper and lower eyelids, as holocrine sebaceous glands that open directly on the eyelid margin and discharge their entire contents onto the lid margin.
11. Answer : (d) Endostyle
Explanation: The endostyle in larval lampreys (ammocoetes) metamorphoses into the thyroid gland in adults, and is regarded as being homologous to the thyroid gland in vertebrates due to its iodine-concentrating activity.
12. Answer : (d) Pancreas
Explanation: islets of Langerhans are islands of endocrine cells scattered throughout the pancreas.
13. Answer : (b) Hearing
Explanation: The inner ear of mammals consists of the cochlea, which is involved with the sense of hearing, and the vestibule and three semicircular canals, which are involved with the sense of balance.
14. Answer : (a) Incus
Explanation: The incus or anvil is a bone in the middle ear. The anvil-shaped small bone is one of three ossicles in the middle ear.
15. Answer : (b) Vitamin D
Explanation: Vitamin D affects how calcium is deposited in the bones; thus it is considered essential for proper bone development and growth. Major symptoms of vitamin D deficiency rickets include bone deformities and bone pain, slow growth, fractures, and seizures.
16. Answer : (a) Endolymph
Explanation: Endolymph is the fluid contained in the membranous labyrinth of the inner ear. The major cation in endolymph is potassium, with the values of sodium and potassium concentration in the endolymph being 0.91 mM and 154 mM, respectively. It is also called Scarpa's fluid, after Antonio Scarpa.
17. Answer :(d) Sodium
Explanation: Sodium does not act as a second messenger for any hormone. cGMP is also known as cyclic guanosine monophosphate. It acts as a second messenger by the mechanism of activation of protein kinases present within the cell.
18. Answer : (a) Parathyroid hormone
Explanation: The hormones released by the parathyroid gland is called parathyroid hormones, Collips hormone, or parathormone (PTH). This hormone helps in maintaining blood calcium levels along with calcitonin. PTH is also called a hypercalcemic hormone that helps to increase blood calcium levels.
19. Answer : (b) Three
Explanation: The three semicircular canals of the bony labyrinth are designated according to their position: superior, horizontal, and posterior.
20. Answer : (a) radioimmunoassay
Explanation: Radioimmunoassay (RIA) is a laboratory method that measures, with relative accuracy, minute amounts of substances present in the body. Drugs, antigens, and hormones are some of the substances measured by radioimmunoassay.
21. Answer : (a) leydig’s cells
Explanation: Leydig cells are interstitial cells located adjacent to the seminiferous tubules in the testes. The best-established function of Leydig cells is to produce the androgen, testosterone, under the pulsatile control of pituitary luteinizing hormone (LH).
22. Answer : (d) follicular phase
Explanation: This phase is called follicular because it is when the follicles are developing thanks to FSH, as one reaches maturity, the others start to die off and this signals the release of luteinizing hormone.
23. Answer : (a) cytoplasmic receptors
Explanation: Estrogen and testosterone are female and male sex hormones respectively. Chemically, these are steroid hormones (lipid-soluble) that easily pass through the cell membrane and bind to specific intracellular receptors in the cytoplasm.
24. Answer : (a) adrenal glands
Explanation: Adrenaline increases your heart rate, elevates your blood pressure, and boosts energy supplies. Cortisol, the primary stress hormone, increases sugars (glucose) in the bloodstream, enhances your brain's use of glucose, and increases the availability of substances that repair tissues.
25. Answer : (a) SA node
Explanation: Adrenaline prepares the body for emergency alarming reactions like fight and flight. it directly affects the SA node to increase the rate of heartbeat. It is responsible for the alarming reactions and also increases breathing rate and blood glucose level, blood pressure, peripheral circulation, etc.
