Structure found within the cerebellum includes ____________.

  1. granule cells

  2. amygdaloid body

  3. caudate nucleus

  4. corpus callosum

  5. hippocampus


Correct Option: A
Explanation:

Granule cells are very small, densely packed neurons that account for the huge majority of neurons in the cerebellum.

When a person is resting and feels relaxed, which among the following systems is responsible for the constriction of the pupil and the slowing of the heart beats?

  1. Peripheral nervous system

  2. Central nervous system

  3. Sympathetic nervous system

  4. Parasympathetic nervous system

  5. Visceral sensation system


Correct Option: D
Explanation:

When the stress subsides, the parasympathetic nervous system of the body produces opposite effects of sympathetic nervous system. It conserves energy as it calms an individual by decreasing heart rate, lowering blood sugar, and so forth.

Where do precursor T-lymphocytes flourish into fully competent but not yet activated T-cells?

  1. The spleen

  2. The lymph nodes

  3. The thymus gland

  4. The bone marrow

  5. The medullary cavity


Correct Option: C
Explanation:

Lymphoid stem cells derived from the bone marrow develop into competent T-lymphocytes with a functioning T-cell receptor and coreceptor in the thymus gland.

Wernicke's area is associated with ___________.

  1. speech comprehension

  2. balance of the body

  3. reflexes

  4. production of speech

  5. perception of stimuli


Correct Option: A
Explanation:

Wernicke's area is associated with the processing of words being heard, spoken or language inputs. Individuals having lesions in Wernicke's area can speak, but their speech is frequently incoherent and makes no sense.

Which among the following proteins is a protease of the blood clotting pathway in humans?

  1. Fibrin

  2. Prothrombin

  3. Factor XII

  4. Plasminogen

  5. Zymogen


Correct Option: C
Explanation:

Factor XII is a protease involved in initiating the intrinsic blood clotting pathway when it binds to abnormal or negatively charged surfaces revealed by damage to endothelial cells of blood vessels.

Nephron is a structural and functional unit of kidney. Which of the following statements characterises the excretion of acid by the mammalian nephron?

  1. Acid can be excreted as NH4+ ions.

  2. Acid excretion mainly occurs in the early nephron.

  3. In the distal nephron, secreted hydrogen ions mainly contribute to bicarbonate reabsorption.

  4. Sodium phosphate is an urinary base.

  5. Human urine is usually alkaline in nature.


Correct Option: A
Explanation:

When hydrogen ions are secreted by the tubules, they can combine with NH3 to form NH4+ and so can be excreted as NH4+.

Which of the following components can dissolve a blood clot formed in mammals?

  1. Tissue plasminogen activator

  2. Antithrombin

  3. Plasmin

  4. Thrombin

  5. Prothrombinase


Correct Option: C
Explanation:

Plasmin is in fact an active protease, which can break down the fibrin meshwork of the clot by dissolving the clot.

Which among the following can be excluded from the functions of cerebellum?

  1. Maintenance of balance and posture

  2. Coordination of voluntary movements

  3. Motor learning

  4. Cognitive functions

  5. Maintenance of normal heart beat rate


Correct Option: E
Explanation:

Medulla oblongata  is the caudal most part of the brain stem and is responsible for maintaining vital body functions, such as breathing and heart beat rates.

After a fire accident, an individual lost his power to feel pain and pay attention. The part of the brain that must have been affected is _________.

  1. hypothalamus

  2. motor cortex

  3. sensory cortex

  4. amygdala

  5. thalamus


Correct Option: E
Explanation:

Thalamus lies near the centre of the brain and regulates input and output to and from the brain including the sensation of pain and attention.

In mammals, the entry of ions in the neural cell is governed by ___________.

  1. dendrites

  2. channels

  3. myelin sheaths

  4. meninges

  5. axon hillock


Correct Option: B
Explanation:

The channels are made up of glycoproteins. The ions cross through their channels by electrical potential. Through the channels, the ions which are mainly carried in physiological conditions are sodium, potassium, calcium and chlorine.

Which of the following statements characterises the sexual reproduction in humans?

  1. A mature human sperm contains a complete set of chromosomes.

  2. Primary spermatocytes divide by mitosis to give rise to spermatids.

  3. At parturition an ovary contains all the oocytes it will ever have.

  4. The sperms are known as male zygotes.

  5. In mammals, fertilization occurs in the uterus of a female.


Correct Option: C
Explanation:

This is the correct answer. At birth, a human ovary contains about 2,00,000 eggs. They each are enclosed in a single layer of cells called the primordial follicles. The ovaries do not produce any more eggs. Women are born with all of the eggs they will ever have.

Which of the following statements is true regarding the sexual reflexes and fertilization in humans?

  1. Erection in males is a sympathetic reflex.

  2. During ejaculation, the sperms are mixed with secretions from the prostate and seminal vesicles.

  3. In females, the fertilization occurs in the uterus.

  4. Fertilization may occur two or more days after ovulation.

  5. The ejaculatory duct passes through the vas deferens in males.


Correct Option: B
Explanation:

Semen is a viscous whitish secretion of the male reproductive organs during ejaculation containing spermatozoa and consisting of secretions of the testes, seminal vesicles, prostate and bulbourethral glands.

Which among the following is/are not secreted by sertoli cells?

  1. Anti-Müllerian Hormone (AMH)

  2. Alpha-Fetal Protein

  3. Inhibin and activins

  4. Androgen binding protein

  5. Ets related molecule


Correct Option: B
Explanation:

This protein is a major plasma proteinsecreted by the yolk sac and the liver during fetal development.

Which among the following characterises the events taking place in the testis?

  1. Sertoli cells line the seminiferous tubules and boost the developing sperm in males.

  2. Sertoli cells reciprocate, to testosterone by synthesising androgen binding protein.

  3. Sertoli cells allow the unrestrained diffusion of water-soluble substances between the seminiferous tubules and the blood.

  4. Leydig cells secrete testosterone.

  5. Sertoli cells also known as mother cells prevent, the residual cytoplasm during spermatogenesis.


Correct Option: D
Explanation:

As a consequence of stimulation with luteinizing hormone the interstitial cells (Leydig) secrete testosterone into the intertubular tissue, where it is absorbed by blood vessels, lymphatics, and the seminiferous tubules.
 

Pick the CORRECT statement regarding the major dietary constituents.

  1. The human body cannot store glucose.

  2. All essential amino acids are found in meat.

  3. Plant oils are rich in unsaturated fats.

  4. Normally ketones are found in the urine of a person eating a carbohydrate rich diet.

  5. The urine of a non vegetarian is alkaline in nature.


Correct Option: B
Explanation:

Animal protein is complete protein and contains all 20 of the amino acids used by the body to synthesize new proteins.
