Parameter not affected by sympathetic stimulation of heart?

  1. Cardiac output

  2. Stroke volume

  3. Duration of cardiac cycle

  4. Involuntary nature of cardiac musculature


Correct Option: D
Explanation:

The involuntary nature of cardiac muscles is the major quality that makes them contract and relax continuously without pausing or without experiencing any fatigue like the rest of the muscles of our body. The parasympathetic nervous system has effects antagonistic to those of the sympathetic nervous system. The parasympathetic stimulation oh cardiac muscles, however, cannot change the involuntary nature of the cardiac musculature.

So, the correct answer is 'Involuntary nature of cardiac musculature'.

The main function of angiotensin is
A. To increase blood pressure
B. Constricting the glomerular arterioles
C. Increases blood volume
The correct ones are given in?

  1. A and C

  2. B and C

  3. A and B

  4. A, B and C


Correct Option: D
Explanation:

Angiotensinogen produced by the liver is broken into angiotensin I by renin which us an enzyme produced by the kidney. This angiotensin I is the precursor of angiotensin II which often plays a role in the constriction of glomerular arterioles, increase blood flow and blood pressure. 

So, the correct answer is 'A, B, and C'.

Which of the following can increase the rate of heart beat?
(A) Sympathetic neural signal 
(B) Parasympathetic neural signal 
(C)Adrenal medullary hormones 
(D) Vagus nerve
(E) Thyroxine hormone
(F) Acetylcholine

  1. A,C,E

  2. D,E,F

  3. A,C,D

  4. B,D,F


Correct Option: A

The heart keeps on beating throughout the life without fatigue, because

  1. In contracts slowly.

  2. It has a long recovery period.

  3. It can use lactic acid as an extra source of energy.

  4. None of the above.


Correct Option: B
Explanation:

A refractory period is a period of time during which an organ or cell is incapable of repeating a particular action. 

The refractory period in cardiac physiology is related to the ion currents that, in cardiac cells as in nerve cells, flow into and out of the cell freely. 
After an action potential initiates, the cardiac cell is unable to initiate another action potential for some duration of time. This period of time is referred to as the refractory period, which is 250 ms in duration and helps to protect the heart.

Berger waves are produced by

  1. Magnet (7 Tesla)

  2. P.E.T. scan

  3. Brain

  4. Sonography


Correct Option: C
Explanation:

Berger waves, also called as $\alpha$-waves are neural oscillations in the frequency range of 7.5-12.5 Hz. $\alpha$-waves are called as Berger waves in the memory of the founder of EEG.
$\alpha$-waves are one type of brain waves detected either by either EEG, electroenccephalography or magnetoencephalography (MEG) and predominantly originate form the occipital lobe during wakeful relaxation with closed eyes.
Thus, the correct answer is option (C), 'Brain'.

  1. Study of activity of normal auditory area

  2. Depression

  3. Shocked patient

  4. All of the above


Correct Option: C
Explanation:

Magnetoencephalography or MEG is a non-invasive technique for investigating human brain activity. It allows the measurement of the ongoing brain activity on a millisecond-by-millisecond basis and it shows where in the brain activity is produced. So, it is helpful in shocked patients.
So, the correct answer is option C.

If the vagus branch of frog is stimulated the heart will show

  1. Stoppage of heart beat

  2. Decreased heart beat

  3. Increased heart beat

  4. No change


Correct Option: B
Explanation:

The tenth cranial nerve (X) is the vagus nerve. It is the longest cranial nerve. (Its name means "wanderer"). It supplies most of the organs in the thoracic and abdominal cavities. This nerve also contains motor fibers to the larynx (voice box) and pharynx, and to glands that produce digestive juices and other secretions. The vagus nerve is responsible for such varied tasks as heart rate, gastrointestinal peristalsis, sweating, and quite a few muscle movements in the mouth, including speech. Parasympathetic innervation of the heart is partially controlled by the vagus nerve and is shared by the thoracic ganglia. To be specific, vagal and spinal ganglionic nerves mediate the lowering of the heart rate. 

Innervation of heart in the intact animals is primarily meant for

  1. Initiation of heart beat.

  2. Regulation of heart beat.

  3. Release of acetylcholine only.

  4. Release of Adrenalin only.


Correct Option: B
Explanation:

Heart beat is initiated by the nodal cells of the SA node. It starts the heart beat. The electrical impulse is then carried by the nerves to the AV node and the Purkinje fibres. Thus the nerves help to spread the impulse throughout the heart. Hence the rate and rhythm of heart beat is controlled by the impulses travelling through the nerves.

Which of the following hormone regulates the cardiac activity?

  1. Epinephrine

  2. Parathrome

  3. Thymosine

  4. None of the above


Correct Option: A
Explanation:

The cardiac activity is controlled by the sympathetic nervous system through the epinephrine. It fastens the heartbeat and the cardiac output so that more concentration of oxygen can be supplied to the body parts.

A. Epinephrine regulates the cardiac activity.
B. Parathormone is released by the parathyroid gland and is involved in calcium balance mechanism.
C. Thymosin is released by the thymus gland and it is involved in maturation of the T-cells.
Hence, the correct answer is 'Epinephrine'

The ion that always keeps the cardiac muscle unit in contracting state is

  1. Sodium

  2. Potassium

  3. Calcium

  4. Magnesium


Correct Option: C
Explanation:

The calcium ions are responsible for muscle contraction by generating the action potential in the muscle cells. More influx of calcium ions may contract the heart muscle to a prolonged state of contraction, which will lead to abnormal increase in the heart rate. 

EEG can help in diagnosing certain conditions like

  1. Epilepsy

  2. Encephalitis

  3. Dementia

  4. All of the above


Correct Option: D
Explanation:

An electroencephalogram (EEG) is a test that measures and records the electrical activity of your brain by using sensors (electrodes). EEG is most often used to diagnose epilepsy, which causes abnormalities in EEG readings. It is also used to diagnose sleep disorders, coma, encephalopathies, and brain death. EEG used to be a first line method of diagnosis for tumors, stroke and other focal brain disorders.

MEG is

  1. Magnetoencephalography

  2. Magnetoelectron transport

  3. Metallic emission tantrum

  4. Mixed electronic tachycardia


Correct Option: A
Explanation:

Magnetoencephalography (MEG) is a non-invasive neurophysiological technique that measures the magnetic fields generated by neuronal activity of the brain. The spatial distributions of the magnetic fields are analyzed to localize the sources of the activity within the brain, and the locations of the sources are superimposed on anatomical images, such as MRI, to provide information about both the structure and function of the brain. 

Who was first to record EEG of man?

  1. Hans Berger

  2. Galileo Galilei

  3. Willem Einthoven

  4. Sanctorius


Correct Option: A
Explanation:

Electroencephalography (EEG) is the recording of electrical activity along the scalp. EEG measures voltage fluctuations resulting from ionic current flows within the neurons of the brain. German physiologist and psychiatrist Hans Berger recorded the first human EEG in 1924.

Human/mammalian/elephant heart is

  1. Myogenic

  2. Neurogenic

  3. Cardiogenic

  4. Digenic.


Correct Option: A

Which term does not apply to human heart?

  1. Neurogenic

  2. Pacemaker

  3. Few chambered

  4. Mitral valve


Correct Option: A
Explanation:
A neurogenic heart is the one in which impulses are originated by nerves. This type of heart is present in cockroach and some invertebrates. Human heart is myogenic which means that impulses are originated by muscles. 
The SA node in human heart is called pacemaker as it initiates and maintains the rhythmic contraction of heart. 
Human heart is four chambered consisting of 2 auricles and 2 ventricles. 
Mitral valve is also known as bicuspid valve and present between left atrium and left ventricle. 
Hence, neurogenic heart does not apply to human heart.
So, the correct answer is 'Neurogenic'.

Thus, the correct answer is 'The sympathetic system stimulates heart rate and stroke volume.'

Electric potential of various parts of brain is recorded by an instrument called as

  1. Sphygmomanometer

  2. Electrocardiography

  3. Electroencephalography

  4. CT Scan


Correct Option: C
Explanation:

An electroencephalogram (EEG) is a test that detects electrical activity in the brain using small, flat metal discs (electrodes) attached to scalp. 

An Evoked Potential Studies (EPS) enables us to

  1. Evaluate different sensory functions

  2. Detect clinically silent tensions

  3. Study hearing and vision in children

  4. All of the above


Correct Option: D
Explanation:

Evoked potential studies measure electrical activity in the brain in response to stimulation of sight, sound, or touch. Stimuli delivered to the brain through each of these senses evoke minute electrical signals. These signals travel along the nerves and through the spinal cord to specific regions of the brain and are picked up by electrodes, amplified, and displayed for a doctor to interpret. Evoked potentials studies involve three major tests that measure response to visual, auditory, and electrical stimuli. Evoked potential studies may be used to assess hearing or sight, especially in infants and children, to diagnose disorders of the optic nerve, and to detect tumors or other problems affecting the brain and spinal cord. The tests may also be performed to assess brain function during a coma.

The weaker magnetic fields of the brain are studied with the help of 

  1. Electro cardiography

  2. SQUID

  3. Prosthesis

  4. Electro encephalography


Correct Option: B
Explanation:

A SQUID (superconducting quantum interference device) is a very sensitive magnetometer used to measure extremely subtle magnetic fields, based on superconducting loops containing Josephson junctions. SQUIDs are sensitive enough to measure fields as low as 5 aT (51018 T) within a few days of averaged measurements. Magnetoencephalography (MEG), uses measurements from an array of SQUIDs to make inferences about neural activity inside brains. Because SQUIDs can operate at acquisition rates much higher than the highest temporal frequency of interest in the signals emitted by the brain (kHz), MEG achieves good temporal resolution.
