Select the correct statement about hormones and their actions.
Parathyroid hormone increases K absorption of the body.
Insulin and glucagon helps to maintain blood sugar levels.
Old aged people have weak immunity due to increased activity of thymus.
Osteoporosis in women occurs due to increased levels of oestrogens.
B.
Insulin and glucagon helps to maintain blood sugar levels.
Parathyroid hormone (PTH) stimulates the reabsorption of Ca by renal tubules and increases Ca2+ absorption from digested food. It means PTH increases the blood Ca2+ level.
Old aged persons have weak immunity because thymus is degenerated in old individuals resulting in a decreased production of thymosin and poor immunity.
Oestoporosis in women occurs due to decreased level of estrogen.

A - Organ of corti-responsible for maintenance of balance of the body and posture.
B- Scala vestibuli-filled with perilymph that ends at the oval window.
C- Scala tympani-terminates at the round window which opens to the middle ear.
D- Basilar membrane - nerve impulses are generated against it.
Select the correct option regarding A, B and C.
A-Tropomyosin-runs close to F-actin throughout its length
B-Troponin-complex protein distributed at regular interval of tropomyosin
C-F actin-polymer of monomeric G-actin helically bound to each other

Identify A, B, C and D and select the correct option regarding them
A-Glomerulus -a tuft of capillaries formed by afferent arteriole.
B-PCT-reabsorption of HCO3 and selective secretion of H and K+ occurs here.
C-DCT-almost all glucose, amino acids, water, Na, K and uric acid are absorbed here.
