If a man is having a diet rich in butter, red meat and eggs for long periods, he may suffer from which of the following?

  1. Kidney stone

  2. Hypercholesterolemia

  3. Ketosuria

  4. Cirrhosis of liver

  5. Cholecystitis


Correct Option: B
Explanation:

Hypercholesterolemia is a condition whereby an increased cholesterol in blood is caused due to high amount of fat in diet for a prolonged period. It leads to thickening and hardening of arterial wall, which in turn causes narrowing of arteries and thereby blood pressure is increased.

What is the percentage of energy that is captured in ATP released during complete oxidation of glucose?

  1. 25%

  2. 100%

  3. 40%

  4. 75%

  5. 80%


Correct Option: C
Explanation:

After glycolysis and Kreb’s cycle, energy released is captured in oxidative phosphorylation to produce 38 ATP molecules. Some energy escapes out as heat energy, and only 40% of energy is trapped in ATP.

If Henle’s loop were absent from mammalian nephron, which of the following would occur?

  1. The urine would be more dilute.

  2. No urine would be formed.

  3. Quality and quantity of urine would show no change.

  4. The urine would be more concentrated.

  5. pH of the urine would be decreased.


Correct Option: A
Explanation:

The urine would be more dilute. Loop of Henle performs counter current along with vasa recta thereby making urine hypertonic. Longer the loop of Henle, the greater will be the hypertonicity of urine. Hence, in absence of it, urine would be more diluted.

Which of the following are the correct components required for blood clotting?

  1. Prothrombin, calcium, vitamin A, platelets

  2. Albumin, globulin, vitamin K, calcium

  3. Prothrombin, fibrinogen, Power Stewart factor, calcium

  4. Heparin, calcium, vitamin D, Hageman factor

  5. All of the above


Correct Option: C
Explanation:

Prothrombin is converted to thrombin by thromboplastin; fibrinogen is converted into fibrin which ultimately produces clot. Power Stewart factor is the factor X essential for blood clotting. Calcium is another essential factor in blood clotting.

The volume of urine formed in mammals is regulated by

  1. Aldosterone

  2. ADH

  3. Aldosterone, ADH and testosterone

  4. Aldosterone and ADH

  5. Corticosterone


Correct Option: D
Explanation:

Aldosterone helps in the reabsorbtion of Na+ and water in the distal part of the renal tubule, hence it increases GFR and regulates urine volume. ADH or vasopressin increases blood pressure and regulates blood volume. Both of them perform together and one’s function gives feedback to the other.

What is the proper sequence of adrenal cortex zones from outside in?

  1. Zona glomerulosa, zona fasciculata, zona reticularis

  2. Zona reticularis, zona glomerulosa, zona fasciculata

  3. Zona fasciculata, zona glomerulosa, zona reticularis

  4. Zona reticularis, zona fasciculata, zona glomerulosa

  5. Zona glomerulosa, zona reticularis, zona fasciculata

  1. apnoea

  2. hypoxia

  3. emphysema

  4. pleurisy

  5. orthopnea


Correct Option: D
Explanation:

When the outer covering of lung, i.e. the pleural membranes have any sign of inflammation, it is known as pleurisy . In this case, severe pain in chest occurs and the affected persons have acute breathing problems.

The hyposecretion of thyroxine leads to cretinism in children that is characterised by different symptoms. Which of the following is/are the feature(s) of cretinism?

Hormonal disorders viz. Cretinism and Dwarfism are caused due to hyposecretion of thyroid and growth hormone of pituitary respectively.

  1. Cramps and convulsion

  2. Stunted growth and mental retardation

  3. Swelling of thyroid gland

  4. Osteoporosis

  5. Only stunted growth


Correct Option: B
Explanation:

Thyroxine regulates the development of nervous system and the metabolism in foetus. Due to hypothyroidism, maldevelopment of nervous system leads to mental retardation of the child, and as metabolical rate or BMR is decreased in foetus, the growth of the child would be stunted.

Which of the following is correct about distribution and function of glossopharyngeal nerve?

The 9th and 10th cranial nerves have their origins similar, i.e. side of medulla oblongata, but are distributed in different areas, hence have different functions. They actually control the voluntary and involuntary movements of pharynx, larynx and many visceral organs.

  1. Taste buds and phonation

  2. Pharynx and second half of tongue, and bitter taste of posterior tongue

  3. Oesophagus and swallowing

  4. Blood vessels and tongue movement

  5. Visceral receptors and larynx elevation


Correct Option: B
Explanation:

Glossopharyngeal nerve is distributed in taste buds, pharynx, posterior tongue, parotid gland and pharyngeal muscle. Its function is larynx elevation, salivation and perception of bitter taste.

Which one of the following is not the function of vagus nerve?

The 9th and 10th cranial nerves have their origins similar, i.e. side of medulla oblongata, but are distributed in different areas, hence have different functions. They actually control the voluntary and involuntary movements of pharynx, larynx and many visceral organs.

  1. Intestinal and gastric movement of food

  2. Cutaneous sensibility

  3. Phonation

  4. Saliva secretion

  5. Swallowing


Correct Option: D
Explanation:

Saliva secretion is not the function of vagus. Vagus is the 10th cranial nerve, which is branched and the longest of all cranial nerves. It is mainly responsible for swallowing, phonation, intestinal and gastric movement, general taste, gastric and pancreatic sensation, breathing and cutaneous sensibility. Saliva secretion from the salivary gland is the function of 9th cranial nerve namely glossopharyngeal nerve. This nerve is also responsible for larynx elevation and taste sensation of posterior tongue.
