Statement I: | A special kind of coordination and integration function is carried out by hormones in our body. |
Statement II: | The neural system does not innervate all cells of the body and the cellular functions need to be continuously regulated. |
Assertion (A): | An impairment affecting synthesis or release of ADH results in a diminished ability of the kidney to conserve water leading to water loss and dehydration. |
Reason (R): | Vasopressin acts mainly at the kidney and stimulates resorption of water and electrolytes by the distal tubules. |
1. | (A) is True; (R) is False |
2. | Both (A) and (R) are True but (R) does not correctly explain (A) |
3. | Both (A) and (R) are True and (R) correctly explains (A) |
4. | (A) is False; (R) is True |
Consider the given two statements:
I: | Catecholamines, Adrenaline, and Noradrenaline, are called emergency hormones or hormones of Fight or Flight. |
II: | They are rapidly secreted in response to stress of any kind and during emergency situations. |
1. Both I and II are correct and II explains I
2. Both I and II are correct but II does not explain I
3. I is correct but II is incorrect
4. Both I and II are incorrect
I: | The adrenal cortical hormones are commonly called as corticoids. |
II: | Cortisol is the main glucocorticoid and aldosterone the main mineralocorticoid in our body. |
III: | Small amounts of androgenic steroids are also secreted by the adrenal cortex. |
1. | Only II and III | 2. | Only I and II |
3. | I, II and III | 4. | Only II |
Which of the following cannot be regarded as a main function of cortisol?
1. | Increased blood sugar by gluconeogenesis |
2. | Lipolysis, proteolysis and decreased uptake of amino acids by body cells |
3. | Regulation of water and minerals in the body |
4. | Suppression of inflammation and immunity |
The function of aldosterone is mainly:
1. | reabsorption of sodium and water at distal renal tubules |
2. | growth of axial, pubic and facial hair |
3. | vasodilation leading to polyuria |
4. | mobilization of metabolites for energy |
I: | Reabsorption of sodium ions by the distal parts of the tubules. |
II: | Secretion of potassium ions by the distal parts of the tubules. |
1. | Only I | 2. | Only II |
3. | Both I and II | 4. | Neither I nor II |
1. | acts mainly at the renal tubules and stimulates the excretion of Na+ and water and reabsorption of K+ and phosphate ions. |
2. | acts mainly at the renal tubules and stimulates the reabsorption of Na+ and water and excretion of K+ and phosphate ions. |
3. | acts mainly at the collecting duct and stimulates the excretion of Na+ and water and reabsorption of K+ and phosphate ions. |
4. | acts mainly at the collecting duct and stimulates the reabsorption of Na+ and water and excretion of K+ and phosphate ions. |
I: | an increase in potassium ion concentration in plasma |
II: | an increase in the blood pressure |
1. | Only I is correct |
2. | Only II is correct |
3. | Both I and II are correct |
4. | Both I and II are incorrect |
