kidney
skin
alimentary canal
C.
skin
Sudorific gland or sudoriferous glands are found in skin of mammals. These secrete sweat to cool the body.
Thyroid deficiency in infant leads to :
hypothyroidism
myxoedema
cretinism
thyrotoxicosis
C.
cretinism
Cretinism is caused by the deficiency of thyroid hormone in infants. Myxoedema is caused by the deficiency in adults. Graves disease or exophthalmic goitre is caused by the hypersecretion of thyroid hormone.
Hypersecretion of growth hormone in the period of growth lead to :
acromegaly
cushing syndrome
midgets
cretinism
A.
acromegaly
Acromegaly is caused by the hypersecretion of growth hormones or somatotrophic hormones during adult phase. This type of patient has a gorilla like appearance with huge hands and legs.
Cushing syndrome is caused by overproduction of ACTH or adrenocorticotrophic hormone.
Deficiency of growth hormone causes dwarfism. People suffering from this disease are very small (midget).
Cretinism refers to hyperthyroidism in an infant or child. It is an iodine deficiency syndrome.
Assertion: Diabetes insipidus is marked by excessive urination and too much thirst of water.

If both Assertion and Reason are true and Reason is the correct explanation of Assertion
If both Assertion and Reason are true but Reason is not the correct explanation of Assertion
If Assertion is true but Reason is false
If both Assertion and Reason are false.
B.
If both Assertion and Reason are true but Reason is not the correct explanation of Assertion
Diabetes insipidus is an uncommon disorder that causes an imbalance of water in the body. This imbalance leads to intense thirst even after drinking fluids (polydipsia), and excretion of large amounts of urine (polyuria).
Diabetes insipidus occurs when your body can't regulate how it handles fluids. Normally, your kidneys remove excess body fluids from your bloodstream. This fluid waste is temporarily stored in your bladder as urine, before you urinate.
The source of somatostatin is same as that of
thyroxine and calcitonin
insulin and glucagon
somatotropin and prolactin
vasopresin and oxytocin
D.
vasopresin and oxytocin
The source of somatostatin is same as that of vasopressin and oxytocin. Somatostatin is produced from hypothalamus (somatostatin neuron) and oxytocin and vasopressin are also produced in the nuclei of hypothalamus, though later they are stored and released from posterior pituitary.
Which of the following does not match ?
Pancreas - Glisson's capsule
Antigen - Antibody
Thyroid - Goitre
Enzyme - Substrate
A.
Pancreas - Glisson's capsule
Glisson capsule is found in liver not in pancreas. The functional unit of liver is lobule. Glisson's capsule is thin layer of connective tissue separating the lobules.
Mammalian prolactin is secreted by :
adenohypophysis
neurohypophysis
adrenal cortex
adrenal medulla
A.
adenohypophysis
Mammalian prolactin is secreted by adenohypophysis. ACTH or Adrenocorticotrophic hormone is secreted by adenohypophysis or anterior pituitary.
Oxytocin is secreted by posterior pituitary or neurohypophysis.
Blood calcium level can be increased by the administration of
glucagon
thyroxine
parathormone
caleitonin
C.
parathormone
Parathyroid hormones are released when the level of ca is less in blood it increases level of ca in the blood while calcitocine hormones reciprocates the effect.
Moulting hormone is secreted by
corpora cardiacum
prothoracic gland
corpora allata
neurosecretory hormone
B.
prothoracic gland
Moulting hormone (ecdysone) is secreted by prothoracic gland. These glands are paired, bilateral sheet of cells in the thorax. In Periplaneta, this endocrine gland is X-shaped. This gland is stimulated by prothoracicotropic hormone. Ecdysone, by causing transformation from larval to pupal stage, initiates post embryonic growth in insects.
Which of the following is both exocrine and endocrine gland
Liver
Pancreas
Thyroid
Adrenal
B.
Pancreas
Pancreas are partially exocrine and partially endocrine gland.
