Adjusting the postural muscles of the body and compiling voluntary and involuntary movements are indispensible functions of which component of the brain?

  1. Thalamus

  2. Hypothalamus

  3. Cerebellum

  4. Cerebrum


Correct Option: C
Explanation:

Cerebellum lies at the lower back of the head being connected to the brain stem. It is the second largest structure of the brain and is made up of two hemispheres. The cerebellum controls complex motor functions such as walking, balance, posture, and general motor co-ordination including voluntary and involuntary movements.

The cells responsible for maintaining the blood brain barrier, forming a 3 D' framework for the central nervous system and including the repair work in damaged neural tissue is

  1. oligodendrocytes

  2. astrocytes

  3. ependymal cells

  4. stem cells


Correct Option: B
Explanation:

Astrocytes have many cytoplasmic processes terminating on blood vessels. These cells are engaged in all essential CNS functions, including blood flow regulation, maintaining the blood brain barrier, energy metabolism, ion and water homeostasis, immune defence of the body.

Once a baby begins to walk, which motor system controls skeletal muscle tone and co-ordinates learned movement patterns?

  1. Skeletal system

  2. Extrapyramidal

  3. Pyramidal system

  4. Neuromuscular system


Correct Option: B
Explanation:

Pyramidal system is responsible for fine, isolated, precise and specific movements including gross, syngergic movements that require the activity of large groups of muscles. Thus, when a baby begins to walk, the pyramidal system controls skeletal muscle tone and co-ordinates learned movement patterns.

Mr. Bhatia is suffering from the temporary disorder involving abnormal involuntary movements of the muscles of the body. This condition is known as

  1. spasm

  2. seizure

  3. lupus

  4. hydrocephalus


Correct Option: B
Explanation:

A seizure is defined as an uncontrolled electrical activity in the brain, which may produce a physical convulsion, minor physical signs, thought disturbances, etc. Thus, Mr. Bhatia must be suffering from seizure.

Paralysis can occur from physical damage to the spinal cord. Which of the following is an example of extensive damage to the spinal cord?

  1. Quadriplegia

  2. Syringomyelia

  3. Meningomyelitis

  4. Bursitis


Correct Option: A
Explanation:

Quadriplegia is a condition of paralysis where an individual loses complete or partial use of all limbs and the torso. It results due to extensive damage to the spinal cord.

The sagittal and coronal sutures meet at the

  1. pterion

  2. Glabella

  3. Lambda

  4. Bregma


Correct Option: D
Explanation:

It is a point on the surface of the skull at the junction of the coronal and sagittal sutures. Here the coronal suture is intersected perpendicularly by the sagittal suture.

The sella turcica is a part of

  1. sphenoid bone

  2. ethmoid bone

  3. nasal bones

  4. lacrimal bone


Correct Option: A
Explanation:

The sella turcica is found on the surface of the sphenoid bone. It is a structure in the skull that supports the pituitary gland.

Humerus is a long bone of the forelimb. The structure that lies on the posterior facet of shaft of humerus is

  1. deltoid tuberosity

  2. groove for radial nerve

  3. bicipital groove

  4. olecranon fossa


Correct Option: B
Explanation:

The groove for radial nerve lies on the posterior facet of shaft of humerus. It is a shallow groove descending laterally and posteriorly carrying the radial nerve distally.

The trigone is a highly sensitive triangular structure of the urinary bladder in mammals. It lies

  1. in internal surface of fundus of bladder

  2. below the apex of urinary bladder

  3. in the body of bladder

  4. below the neck of bladder


Correct Option: A
Explanation:

The fundus of the urinary bladder is the base of the bladder formed by the posterior wall. The smooth muscle of bladder contracts to expel urine from the body. The trigone lies in the internal surface of fundus of bladder.

The cells responsible for removing cell debris, wastes, and pathogens are

  1. microglia

  2. astrocytes

  3. oligodendrocytes

  4. schwann cells


Correct Option: A
Explanation:

Microglia are regarded as the immune cells of the brain. After an injury, these cells undergo rapid change, altering their appearance, migrating to the site of the damage to help clear away and clean up dead, dying cells and cell debris.

In mammalian heart, which of the following structures belongs to the right atrium?

  1. Aaortic orifice

  2. Trabeculae carneae

  3. Orifice of the coronary sinus.

  4. Tendinous cords


Correct Option: C
Explanation:

The coronary sinus orifice of the right atrium is the aperture via. which approximately 90% venous drainage of the heart is returned to the circulation by the coronary sinus.

The second constriction of male urethra lies in

  1. prostatic portion of urethra

  2. membranous part

  3. external urethral orifice

  4. internal urethral orifice


Correct Option: B
Explanation:

It is the part of the male urethra lying between the layers of the urogenital diaphragm and connects the parts of the urethra passing through the prostate gland and the penis. The second constriction of male urethra lies in membranous part.

In humans, the palatine tonsil lies in

  1. oral cavity

  2. pharyngeal recess

  3. piriform recess

  4. between palatoglossal arch and palatopharyngeal arch


Correct Option: D
Explanation:

The palatine tonsil is the pair of tonsils that can be seen on the left and right side at the back of the throat. They lie between palatoglossal arch and palatopharyngeal arch.

Rahul fell from the roof and got hurt in the pharyngeal opening of auditory tube. The pharyngeal opening lies in

  1. nasopharynx

  2. oropharynx

  3. laryngopharynx

  4. epiglottic vallecula


Correct Option: A
Explanation:

The pharyngeal opening of auditory tube defines as an opening in the upper nasopharynx behind the posterior extremity of the inferior concha on each side.

Which of the following structures is present in the right ventricle of mammals?

  1. Orifice of the superior vena cava

  2. Orifice of the inferior vena cava

  3. Orifice for the coronary sinus

  4. Orifice of the pumonary trunk


Correct Option: D
Explanation:

Orifice of the pumonary trunk is the opening between the pulmonary trunk and the right ventricle of the mammalian heart.
