Which of the following lobes of human brain is not frequently susceptible to severe injury or trauma?

  1. Left temporal lobe damage

  2. Right temporal lobe damage

  3. Occipital lobe damage

  4. Left parietal lobe damage

  5. Frontal lobe damage


Correct Option: C
Explanation:

Because of their location, these lobes are not commonly susceptible to any injury.

Which among the following areas of the cortex does not receive sensory information directly but via. the primary motor or sensory cortices in the brain?

  1. Hippocampus

  2. Limbic system

  3. Sensory areas

  4. Association areas

  5. Motor areas


Correct Option: D
Explanation:

Association areas do not receive sensory information directly, but via the primary motor or sensory cortices in the brain.Thier main function is to produce a meaningful perceptual experience of the world, and enable us to interact effectively, and support abstract thinking and language.  

The most evident difference between the human brain and the brain of a bony fish is in _____________.

Bony fishes have a skeleton made up of bones. The most prominent examples are herring, eels, sturgeon, salmon, lantern fish, milk fish, flying fish, etc.

  1. brain stem

  2. hippocampus

  3. cerebellum

  4. pituitary

  5. medulla oblongata


Correct Option: B
Explanation:

Physically the brain of fish does not have a hippocampus region which is found in higher order vertebrae animals. The hippocampus is the part of the brain that is involved in memory forming, organising, and storing.

Which among the following does not characterise the cardiovascular system of the human body?

  1. The elastic arteries are the major branches of aorta.

  2. The systemic and pulmonary circulations are perfused in series.

  3. Perfusion of the systemic circulation requires a much higher pressure.

  4. Blood re-enters the heart through the venae cavae.

  5. The cardiovascular system electrolytes to the body cells and nullify thermoregulation.


Correct Option: E
Explanation:

The key functions of the cardiovascular system are: Distribution of O2, water, electrolytes and nutrients to all body tissues; transportation of CO2 and metabolic waste products from the tissues to the lungs and kidneys; and thermoregulation.

Corona radiata envelopes an egg and consists of two or three layers of cells from the follicle. Cells of corona radiata remain grouped together by ____________.

  1. pectin

  2. lipids

  3. hyaluronidase‎

  4. hyaluronic acid

  5. hyalogen


Correct Option: D
Explanation:

Hyaluronic acid is a highly viscous mucopolysaccharide that holds cells together in corona radiata, lubricates body tissue, and blocks the spread of microorganisms. It is found in the skin, the vitreous humor of the eye, and the synovial fluid of the joints.

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

  1. in internal surface of fundus of bladder

  2. below apex of urinary bladder

  3. in the body of bladder

  4. below neck of bladder

  5. in the fundus of gallbladder


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.

Which among the following structures is NOT associated with a mammalian heart?

  1. Intervenous tubercle

  2. Chordae tendineae

  3. Trabeculae carneae

  4. Sulcus terminalis

  5. Musculi pectinati


Correct Option: D
Explanation:

It is a V -shaped groove differentiating the anterior two-thirds of the tongue from the posterior third and containing the circumvallate papillae.

Which among the following statements regarding the human kidneys is true?

  1. The renal cortex lies inside the medulla.

  2. The left kidney lies lower than the right kidney.

  3. The renal veins drain directly into the inferior vena cava.

  4. The link between the kidney and the bladder is the urethra.

  5. The renal cortex contains selected glomeruli.


Correct Option: C
Explanation:

Both kidneys receive an arterial supply directly from the aorta and the renal veins drain directly into the inferior vena cava.

The first milk produced by a human female just after delivery is called _________.

  1. bolus

  2. trichomes

  3. urochrome

  4. colostrum

  5. meconium


Correct Option: D
Explanation:

Colostrum is a form of milk produced by the mammary glands in late pregnancy and the few days after delivery in all the mammals. Human colostrum is thick, sticky and yellowish.

In humans, the red blood cells __________.

  1. are secreted into the circulation as immature cells known as reticulocytes

  2. have life span of about 10 days

  3. depend on mitochondria for their ATP synthesis

  4. are formed by budding off megakaryocytes

  5. contain the respiratory pigment hemoglobin along with myoglobin


Correct Option: A
Explanation:

It is the correct statement. Reticulocytes are young, anucleate, and red blood cells, which are released from bone marrow into the blood in increased numbers as a response to anemia.

The second constriction of male urethra lies in ____________.

  1. internal urethral orifice

  2. membranous part

  3. external urethral orifice

  4. prostatic portion of urethra

  5. base of the urethra


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.

The oxygenated haemolymph entering the heart is isolated by __________.

  1. coronary sulcus

  2. pericardial sinus

  3. sternocostal surface

  4. fibrous pericardium

  5. serous pericardium


Correct Option: B
Explanation:

It refers to the wall at the back of the pericardial sac. It acts as a collection reservoir to isolate oxygenated haemolymph entering the heart.

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 are ____________.

  1. stem cells

  2. ependymal cells

  3. astrocytes

  4. oligodendrocytes

  5. glial cells


Correct Option: C
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, etc.

Blood platelets are also known as 'thrombocytes'. Which of the following statements is correct for blood platelets?

  1. They are present in greater number than RBCs.

  2. They release main clotting factors in the blood.

  3. They will attach to the walls of damaged blood vessels.

  4. They conjoin in the presence of prostacyclin.

  5. Blood platelets bear a prominent nucleus, which regulates hemostasis and thrombosis.


Correct Option: C
Explanation:

In case of injury, the damaged endothelial cells lining the blood vessel release von Willebrand's Factor, which makes the surfaces sticky. The platelets start adhering to the surfaces of endothelial cells. This effect is called platelet adhesion.

Mr. Verma met with a severe road accident and became very poor in grammar and pronunciation. Which part of her brain must have affected in the accident?

  1. Hypothalamus

  2. Wernicke's area

  3. Broca's area

  4. Pons

  5. Brain stem


Correct Option: C
Explanation:

Broca's area is the part of the brain, which is on the front left side of the cortex of the brain and is responsible for not only speech production but also language comprehension, language compression and controls facial neurons.
