The level of calcium in the blood is regulated because

  1. extra calcium calcifies the bones, which thus become brittle and are likely to get cracks

  2. extra calcium gets deposited in the blood vessels and thus, clogs them

  3. it is crucial for blood clotting

  4. None of these


Correct Option: C
Explanation:

 Calcium is necesary for clotting of blood. 

Which of the following leucocytes have an unlobed nucleus?

  1. Lymphocytes

  2. Eosinophils

  3. Basophils

  4. Neutrophils


Correct Option: A
Explanation:

 The nuclei of lymphocytes are usually round but may be slightly indented.

If all the blood corpuscles from blood are eliminated, then the liquid left is

  1. serum

  2. plasma

  3. almost water

  4. only haemoglobin


Correct Option: B
Explanation:

 Plasma is the liquid matrix of blood without corpuscles

People with the blood group ‘AB’ lack

  1. antibodies

  2. antigen A

  3. antigen B

  4. Both (2) and (3)


Correct Option: A
Explanation:

 AB blood group has both antigens A and B but no antibodies

The voracious scavenger cells of blood are

  1. red blood cells

  2. platelets

  3. lymphocytes

  4. bacteria


Correct Option: C
Explanation:

 Lymphocytes are kind of white blood cells that are important in immune system

In a normal man, the amount of blood pumped out by the heart per minute is

  1. 4 litres

  2. 5 litres

  3. 1 litre

  4. 3 litres


Correct Option: B
Explanation:

 The total volume of blood in healthy individual is 5 litres

Landsteiner was awarded the Nobel Prize for the discovery of

  1. blood corpuscles

  2. blood plasma

  3. mechanism of blood clotting

  4. antigen-antibody reactions in blood transfusion


Correct Option: D
Explanation:

 Antigen antibody reactions were studied by Landsteiner

Chemicals produced by lymphocytes, which act on foreign harmful substances and destroy or neutralise them, are known as

  1. antigens

  2. antibodies

  3. antibiotics

  4. agglutinins


Correct Option: B
Explanation:

 Antibodies are produced by B lymphocytes

Polycyathaemia is an increase in the count of

  1. WBCs

  2. RBCs

  3. Platelets

  4. All of the above


Correct Option: B
Explanation:

  Abnormally increased concentration of haemoglobin in the blood is polycyathemia

The most abundant protein of serum is

  1. gamma globulin

  2. albumin

  3. prothrombin

  4. fibrinogen


Correct Option: B
Explanation:

Serum albumin accounts for more than 50 percent of blood protein. It is produced in the liver and transports hormones, fatty acids and bilirubin throughout the body.

Blood platelet formation occurs in

  1. yellow bone marrow

  2. red bone marrow

  3. spleen

  4. liver


Correct Option: B
Explanation:

Platelets are produced in the bone marrow, the same as the red cells and most of the white blood cells. Platelets are produced from very large bone marrow cells called megakaryocytes.

Antibodies are produced by

  1. R.B.C.

  2. W.B.C.

  3. both 1 and 2

  4. platelates


Correct Option: B
Explanation:

Antibodies are produced by specialised white blood cells called B lymphocytes (or B cells). When an antigen binds to the surface of a B-cell, it stimulates the B cell to divide and mature into a group of identical cells called a clone.

The gas making the most stable combination with RBC haemoglobin is

  1. O

  2. CO2

  3. CO

  4. N2


Correct Option: A
Explanation:

Oxygen is the gas which makes the most stable combination with RBC haemoglobin.

Blood platelets help in the blood coagulation mechanism by liberation of

  1. thromboplastin

  2. thrombokinase

  3. prothrombin

  4. None of these


Correct Option: A
Explanation:

Thromboplastin is a plasma protein aiding blood coagulation through catalyzing the conversion of prothrombin to thrombin.

Man is known as warm blooded because

  1. he responds to high heat in the form of a mechanism that dissipates heat and conserves heat during cold weather, thus is capable of regulating his blood temperature

  2. his blood is warm

  3. he can survive in hot weather

  4. he wears warm clothes during winters


Correct Option: A
Explanation:

Man is known as warm blooded because he responds to high heat in the form of a mechanism that dissipates heat and conserves heat during cold weather and thus, is capable of regulating his blood temperature.

The ratio of WBC : RBC is about _____ in man.

  1. 1 : 600

  2. 1 : 6000

  3. 1 : 60000

  4. 1 : 200


Correct Option: A
Explanation:

The ratio of WBCs to RBCs is about 1 : 600 in man.

The gland which regulates the level of calcium in the blood by increasing its level is /are

  1. thyroid

  2. adrenals

  3. parathyroids

  4. pituitary


Correct Option: C
Explanation:

Normal parathyroid glands work like the thermostat in your home to keep blood calcium levels in a very tightly controlled range. When the blood calcium level is too low, PTH is released to bring the calcium level back up to normal. When the calcium level is normal or gets a little too high, normal parathyroids will stop releasing PTH.

Valves are present in

  1. artery

  2. vein

  3. vessel

  4. capillary


Correct Option: B
Explanation:

 The tricuspid valve, or right atrioventricular valve, is on the right dorsal side of the mammalian heart, between the right atrium and the right ventricle. The function of the valve is to prevent back flow of blood into the right atrium.

The pulse pressure of normal adult is _______ mm/Hg.

  1. 40

  2. 60

  3. 80

  4. 120


Correct Option: A
Explanation:

 Pulse pressure is the difference between systolic and diastolic pressure.

ECG records

  1. rate of heart beat

  2. volume of blood pumped

  3. heart diseases

  4. potential difference of cardiac muscle


Correct Option: D

ECG is a method to detect

  1. heart attack

  2. heartblock

  3. coronary thrombosis

  4. all of the above


Correct Option: D

The human heart is

  1. cardiogenic

  2. digenic

  3. neurogenic

Correct Option: D

The number which one of the following increases during allergic diseases and leukaemia?

  1. Lymphocytes

  2. Basophils

  3. Eosinophils

  4. Neutrophils


Correct Option: C
Explanation:

Eosinophilia is a condition in which the eosinophil count in the peripheral blood exceeds 4.5 × 108/L (450/μl). The most common causes are being some form of allergic reaction or parasitic infection.

The circulatory system of a cockroach is

  1. closed

  2. open

  3. simple

  4. complex


Correct Option: B
Explanation:

An open circulatory system is a system in which a fluid in a cavity called the hemocoel bathes the organs directly with oxygen and nutrients.

The place where the heart is situated in humans is

  1. pleural cavity

  2. coelom

  3. mediastinum

  4. both (2) and (3)


Correct Option: C
Explanation:
