I: | provides a point-to-point rapid coordination among organs. |
II: | is fast but short-lived. |
III: | innervate all cells of the body. |
1. | are all proteins. |
2. | can have a long lasting effect on their target cells. |
3. | are not transported by blood. |
4. | provide a point-to-point rapid coordination among organs |
Assertion (A): | Apart from the organised endocrine glands, hormones are secreted by other parts of the human body as well. |
Reason (R): | Hormone is any non-nutrient chemical which acts as intercellular messenger and is produced in trace amounts. |
1. | Both (A) and (R) are True and (R) is the correct explanation of (A). |
2. | Both (A) and (R) are True but (R) is not the correct explanation of (A). |
3. | (A) is True but (R) is False. |
4. | Both (A) and (R) are False. |
Assertion (A): | Hormones act only on their target cells. |
Reason (R): | Hormones are transported to their target organs by ducts. |
1. | Both (A) and (R) are True and (R) correctly explains (A). |
2. | (A) is True but (R) is False |
3. | (A) is False but (R) is False |
4. | Both (A) and (R) are True but (R) does not correctly explain (A). |
Statement I: | The classical definition of hormone describes hormone as a chemical produced by exocrine glands, released into the blood and transported to a nearby located target organ. |
Statement II: | Current scientific definition describes hormones as non-nutrient chemicals which act as intercellular messengers and are produced in trace amounts. |
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. |
1. | do not have any endocrine system. |
2. | possess very simple endocrine systems with few hormones. |
3. | possess very complex endocrine systems with a large number of hormones. |
4. | produce only steroidal hormones. |
Hormones are chemical messengers of all classes except:
1. | peptide | 2. | steroid |
3. | aminated | 4. | carbohydrate |
All the following chemicals are steroids except:
1. | adrenaline | 2. | cholesterol |
3. | estrogen | 4. | cortisone |
