urea cycle may be operating
arginine is being converted into ornithine
arginine is being converted into citrulline

digestive system only
respiratory system only
nervous system only
both nervous and endocrine system
D.
both nervous and endocrine system
Animals have two systems of co-ordination, namely, nervous system and endocrine system.

The amount of bile released in proportion to the amount of:
fat in meal
protein in meal
carbohydrate in meal
all of the above
A.
fat in meal

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).
