Which among the following parts of male reproductive system enters the prostate gland to empty into the urethra?

  1. Seminal vesicle

  2. Ampulla

  3. Ejaculatory duct

  4. Ductus deferens

  5. Epididymis


Correct Option: C
Explanation:

The ejaculatory duct in males is formed by a union of the ampulla of the ductus deferens and the duct of the seminal vesicle. This duct receives secretions from the seminal vesicle and prostate gland and penetrates the prostate gland where it empties into the urethra.

The pH of urine can vary between 4.6 and 8. Which among the following structures neutralizes the acidity present due to the drops of urine in the urethra?

  1. Seminal vesicles

  2. Bulbourethral glands

  3. Prostate gland

  4. Urethra

  5. Ejaculatory ducts


Correct Option: B
Explanation:

These are pea-sized structures located on the sides of the urethra . These glands produce transparent, slippery fluid which serves to lubricate the urethra and to neutralize the acidity present due to the drops of urine in the urethra.

Which among the following is not a part of internal reproductive system of the mammalian females?

  1. Ovaries

  2. Uterus

  3. Vagina

  4. Bartholin's glands

  5. Fallopian tubes


Correct Option: D
Explanation:

These glands are located beside the vaginal opening and produce a fluid secretion. It is one of the important parts among the main external structures of the female reproductive system.

Which among the following parts of brain provides remarkable distinctions between humans and other animals?

  1. Cerebral cortex

  2. The limbic system

  3. The cerebellum

  4. The thalamus

  5. The spinal cord


Correct Option: A
Explanation:

The cerebral cortex is the portion of the brain that provides remarkable distinctions between humans and other animals. It enables humans not only to receive and interpret all kinds of sensory information, such as colour, odor, taste, and sound, but also to remember, analyze, interpret, make decisions, and perform a host of other higher brain functions.

Which of the following connects the limbic system to other parts of the brain in mammals, including humans?

  1. The thalamus

  2. The subthalamus

  3. The metathalamus

  4. The epithalamus

  5. The hypothalamus


Correct Option: D
Explanation:

The epithalamus is a dorsal part of the diencephalon and connects the limbic system to other parts of the brain.

Which among the following is highly effective in increasing the level of acetylcholine during the synapse formation?

  1. Increasing dietary acetyl coenzyme A

  2. Increasing the production of acetyl coenzyme A

  3. Increasing dietary choline

  4. Activation of the enzyme acetylcholinesterase

  5. Decreasing choline uptake


Correct Option: B
Explanation:

Although the administration of drugs to enhance acetyl coenzyme A, production is not effective in elevating acetylcholine neurotransmission, cholinergic neurons increase their coenzyme A production as a means of increasing acetylcholine availability for neurotransmission.

Glutamate up-take into glial cells

  1. is a dead-end pathway

  2. is by passive diffusion

  3. ends in its metabolism into glutamine by glutaminase

  4. ends in its metabolism into glutamine by glutamine synthase

  5. ends in its metabolism into GABA by glutamic acid decarboxylase


Correct Option: D
Explanation:

Glutamine synthase is a glial enzyme that metabolizes glutamate into glutamine. Because glutamine is relatively small and uncharged, it can diffuse across the glial and neuronal membranes and once in the neurons glutaminase converts glutamine into glutamate trapping it in the neuron, it can then be packaged into vesicles for release.

In a human ear the high frequencies are transduced

  1. at the apex of the cochlea

  2. at the base of the cochlea

  3. throughout the cochlea

  4. by the vibrations of the stapes

  5. at the superior temporal gyrus


Correct Option: B
Explanation:

The cochlea is the most complex part of the ear. It collects the physical vibrations caused by the sound wave and translates them into electrical information the brain can recognize as distinct sound.

Transformation of mechanical to neural signals takes place

  1. at the base of the outer hair cells

  2. at potassium ion channels in stereocilia

  3. between the oval and round windows

  4. in the scala tympani

  5. in the scala vestibuli


Correct Option: B
Explanation:

Movement of the cilia opens potassium channels. The influx of potassium causes a subsequent influx of calcium and a receptor potential that can cause an action potential in the afferent dendrites.

Primary auditory cortex of the human ear lies in

  1. parietal lobe

  2. lateral surface of occipital lobe

  3. middle frontal gyrus

  4. parahippocampal gyrus

  5. superior temporal gyrus


Correct Option: E
Explanation:

The superior temporal gyrus contains the primary auditory cortex, which is responsible for processing sounds. It is involved in auditory processing, including language.

Neuropeptides are small protein molecules used by neurons to communicate with each other. They are present in synaptic terminals because

  1. they are synthesized in the terminal

  2. they are carried by fast axonal transport

  3. they are carried by diffusion

  4. they are carried by slow axonal transport

  5. they are taken-up from the extracellular space


Correct Option: B
Explanation:

Neuropeptides are neuronal signaling molecules. They are synthesized in the cell body and are processed in vesicles that are transported to axon terminals along microtubules via fast axonal transport.

Auditory afferents inside a human ear travel through the midbrain in the

  1. sublenticular portion of the internal capsule

  2. medial lemniscus

  3. medial longitudinal fasciculus

  4. lateral lemniscus

  5. trapezoid body


Correct Option: D
Explanation:

The lateral lemniscus is a tract of axons in the brainstem transferring the information about sound from the cochlear nucleus to the contralateral inferior colliculus of the midbrain.

Afferent activity in the central auditory system involves the following areas. Which among the following lies at fourth position in the sequence?

  1. Cochlear nucleus

  2. Inferior colliculus

  3. Medial geniculate

  4. Superior olivary nucleus

  5. Superior temporal gyrus


Correct Option: C
Explanation:

It is a part of the metathalamus consisting of a small oval tubercle situated between the pulvinar, colliculi, and cerebral peduncle. It is fourth in the sequence. All sensory afferents, except olfactory, synapse in the thalamus.

In mammals, nerves, pulmonary vessels and bronchi enter the lungs at the

  1. base

  2. trachea

  3. mediastinum

  4. hilum

  5. apex


Correct Option: D
Explanation:

The hilum of the lung is a triangular part which allows the other structures forming the root of the lung to enter and exit. It permits arteries, veins, nerves, bronchi and other structures to enter and exit.

The lateral vestibular nuclei can be functionally compared with

  1. deep cerebellar nuclei

  2. red nucleus

  3. basal ganglia

  4. bidder's ganglia

  5. thalamus


Correct Option: A
Explanation:

The lateral vestibular nuclei, although not contained within the cerebellum, are considered to be functionally analogous to the deep cerebellar nuclei because of their functional connectivity with the cerebellum.
