RBCs are the most common cells in human body and have a shape of a biconcave disc that:
| 1. | decreases the distance between the cell membrane and hemoglobin molecules, facilitating oxygen uptake |
| 2. | allows the cells to hold more hemoglobin for a given volume |
| 3. | allows them to squeeze through the tight spaces in the spleen |
| 4. | keeps them from leaking out through the walls of capillaries |
If you compare with the normal ECG tracing given in your NCERT, the following ECG shows an abnormal:
| 1. P wave 2. R wave 3. S wave 4. T wave |
Consider the diagram of the human heart with various parts labeled as numbers. All statements given will be correct except:
| 1. | Simultaneous closure of 3 and 6 produces first heart sound |
| 2. | Simultaneous closure of 2 and 8 produces second heart sound |
| 3. | 5 pumps more blood than 4 as it has thicker musculature |
| 4. | Both 1 and 7 receive venous blood |
The functions of the lymphatic system do not include:
| 1. | The removal of interstitial fluid from tissues |
| 2. | Transport of factors needed for coagulation of blood |
| 3. | transport of nutrients and hormones |
| 4. | Absorption and transport of end products of fat digestion |
The second most common formed elements in the human blood are:
| 1. | Proteins | 2. | Water |
| 3. | RBC | 4. | Thrombocytes |
Match each item in Column-I with one in Column-II and select the correct answer from the codes given:
| Column-I | Column-II | ||
| A. | Closure of AV valves | a. | Second heart sound |
| B. | Closure of semilunar valves | b. | First heart sound |
| C. | Opening of AV valves | c. | Ventricular ejection |
| D. | Opening of semilunar valves | d. | Passive ventricular filling |
Codes:
| A | B | C | D | |
| 1. | a | b | c | d |
| 2. | b | a | c | d |
| 3. | b | a | d | c |
| 4. | a | b | d | c |
The nodal musculature of the heart has the capability to generate impulse:
| 1. | on stimulation by the sympathetic division of the autonomic nervous system |
| 2. | on stimulation by the parasympathetic division of the autonomic nervous system |
| 3. | on stimulation by the somatic neural division of the peripheral nervous system |
| 4. | without any external stimulus |
Exchange of nutrients and gases between the blood and the cells always occurs:
| 1. | by active transport |
| 2. | with the help of transport carrier proteins |
| 3. | at the arterial end of the capillary network |
| 4. | through the interstitial fluid |
Formed elements and clotting factors are removed from the blood. The remaining fluid will be called as:
| 1. | Plasma | 2. | Lymph |
| 3. | Serum | 4. | Antiserum |
An Rh +ve female is pregnant with an Rh –ve fetus for the second time. The consequences can be:
| 1. | The fetus can have severe anemia or jaundice |
| 2. | The mother can have delayed reactions and may develop jaundice |
| 3. | There will be no consequences |
| 4. | The fetus will have growth and mental retardation |
