Question 11. Which of the following are the functions of water in our body?
  1.    Lubricant and shock absorption
  2.    Body temperature regulation
  3.    Structural support for molecules
  4.    All of the above
 Discuss Question
Answer: Option D. -> All of the above
:
D
The fluid between our joints and surrounding our hearts and lungshelps them move without rubbing against each other and causing irritation and damage. Water has a large heat capacity which helps limit changes in body temperature in a warm or a cold environment. Water allows the body to release heat when ambient temperature is higher than body temperature. The body begins to sweat and due to the evaporation of water from the skin surface, it very efficiently cools the body.The ability of water to disassemble and rearrange other molecules isessential to the chemistry of life. It does this by forming weak bonds with other molecules.

 Discuss Question
Answer: Option A. -> 1.Isovolumetric contraction   2.Mitral valve   3.Tricuspid valve  4. IsovolumetricRelaxation  5. Aortic valve   6. Pulmonary Valve
:
A
The most fundamental heart sounds are the first and second sounds, usually abbreviated as S1 and S2. S1 is caused by closure of the mitral and tricuspid valves at the beginning of isovolumetric ventricular contraction S1 is normally slightly split (~0.04 sec) because mitral valve closure precedes tricuspid valve closure; however, this very short time interval cannot normally be heard with the stethoscope and hence only a single sound is perceived. S2 is caused by closure of the aortic and pulmonic valves at the beginning of isovolumetric ventricular relaxation
Question 13. What is the correct order in which the factors of clotting are affected in order for blood to clot?
  1.    Fibrin, Fibrinogen, Thrombin, Prothrombin, Thromboplastin
  2.    Prothrombin, Thromboplastin, Thrombin, Fibrin, Fibrinogen
  3.    Thromboplastin, Thrombin, Prothrombin, Fibrin, Fibrinogen
  4.    Thromboplastin, Prothrombin, Thrombin, Fibrinogen, Fibrin
 Discuss Question
Answer: Option D. -> Thromboplastin, Prothrombin, Thrombin, Fibrinogen, Fibrin
:
D
When the blood vessels are damaged they attract platelets. The damaged endothelial cells express tissue factor. The tissue factor initiates a coagulation cascade.The end result of the cascade is the formation of an enzyme called prothrombinase.This prothrombinase cleaves prothrombin giving rise to thrombin.The platelets have specific thrombin receptors; the thrombin attaches to the platelets and forms a weak plate plug. Thrombin acts on fibrinogen in the plasma and cleaves it to form insoluble fibrin strands.The insoluble fibrin strands are then stabilized to form a clot by fibrin stabilizing factor which is also activated by thrombin.
Question 14. Which of the following is NOT correctly matched?
  1.    Cardiac centres - Cardiovagal and Vasomotor
  2.    Baroreceptors - Present in aorta and carotid
  3.    Positive Inotropic action - Increases the firing rate of Sinoatrial node
  4.    Negative Chronotropic effect - Increases the force of contraction of heart
 Discuss Question
Answer: Option D. -> Negative Chronotropic effect - Increases the force of contraction of heart
:
D
The cardiac centres are of two types: cardiovagal and the vasomotor. Baroreceptors are sensors located in the blood vessels of all vertebrate animals. They sense the blood pressure and relay the information to the brain, so that a proper blood pressure can be maintained. An inotropic action alters the force or energy of muscular contraction.Change in contractility or force of contraction of the heart is also known as a chronotropic effect. Positive chronotropes increase heart rate; negative chronotropes decrease heart rate.
Question 15. Which of the following is true about the circulatory system of animals?
  1.    Only vertebrates, annelids and cephalopods, have closed circulatory system.
  2.    All vertebrates have separate pulmonary and systemic circulations.
  3.    The circulatory system of Mammals and Birds are similar to Amphibians.
  4.    Animals can have only one heart or else the circulatory system would not work.
 Discuss Question
Answer: Option A. -> Only vertebrates, annelids and cephalopods, have closed circulatory system.
:
A
All vertebrates, annelids like earthworms and cephalopods like octopi, have a closed circulatory system, with the complete separation of both systemic and pulmonary circuits. The rest of the animal world has an open circulatory system. Birds, like mammals, have a 4-chambered heart. Amphibians and reptiles have 3 chambers in their hearts.
Question 16. Thromboplastin required for blood clotting at the place of injury is released by _____.
  1.    thrombocytes
  2.    monocytes
  3.    basophils
  4.    neutrophils
 Discuss Question
Answer: Option A. -> thrombocytes
:
A
Thrombocytes - irregularly shaped, disk like cytoplasmic fragment of a megakaryocyte that is shed in the marrow sinus and subsequently found in the peripheral blood, where it functions in clotting at the place of injury. A platelet contains granules in its central part (granulomere) and, peripherally, clear protoplasm (hyalomere), but no nucleus, is about one third to one half the size of an erythrocyte, and contains no hemoglobin.
Question 17. Stroke volume is the amount of blood the left ventricle pumps out in one cardiac cycle. This is around 70ml. Now, to get the cardiac output, we have to multiply (i)__ with the normal heart rate of (ii)__ /min and we get (iii)__ ml/min. This means that in one minute, each ventricle of a normal heart pumps about (iv)__ litres of blood out.
  1.    (i) Stroke volume, (ii) 72, (iii) 5,040, (iv) 5
  2.    (i) Total volume, (ii) 82, (iii)8,200, (iv) 8
  3.    (i) Volume of the heart, (ii) 72,(iii)3,720, (iv) 3
  4.    (i) Volume of the ventricles,(ii) 72, (iii)2,600,(iv) 2
 Discuss Question
Answer: Option A. -> (i) Stroke volume, (ii) 72, (iii) 5,040, (iv) 5
:
A
Stroke volume is the amount of blood the left ventricle pumps out in one cardiac cycle. This is around 70 ml. Cardiac output is the volume of blood pumped out by each ventricle per minute. Now to get cardiac output,we have to multiply stroke volume with the normal heart rate of 72 beats/min and we get 5,040 ml/min. This means that in one minute, each ventricle of a normal heart pumps about 5 litres of blood.
Question 18. Which of the plasma proteins listed below is not matched correctly to its function?
  1.    Albumin - maintains osmotic pressure in blood
  2.    Globulins - Enzymes and carrier proteins
  3.    Fibrinogen- transport minerals, lipids, hormones and vitamins.
  4.    Immunoglobulin- attacks and destroys pathogens.
 Discuss Question
Answer: Option C. -> Fibrinogen- transport minerals, lipids, hormones and vitamins.
:
C
Globulins have some enzymes, carrier proteins. Immunoglobulins are involved in attack and destruction of pathogens. Fibrinogen is the blood clotting agent.
Albumin maintains osmotic pressure in blood cells, transports molecules and also eliminates free radicals.
Question 19. The lymphatic system consists of ______.
  1.    Lymphatic vessels and lymphoid organs
  2.    All of the plasma components of the bloodstream
  3.    All fluids inside the body's cells
  4.    All liquids in the body whether inside the cells or in spaces between the tissues.
 Discuss Question
Answer: Option A. -> Lymphatic vessels and lymphoid organs
:
A
The Lymphatic system is made of three main components - the lymphatic vessels, lymph, andthe lymph nodes. The lymphatic system has multiple interrelated functions. It is responsible for the removal of interstitial fluid from tissues. It absorbs and transports fatty acids and fats as chylefrom the digestive system. It transports white blood cells to and from the lymph nodes into the blood.
Question 20. Which of these statements is NOT true about the heart?
  1.    The heart is situated between the two lungs in the mediastinum.
  2.    The heart is a pear shaped hollow organ.
  3.    The apex of the heart always rests on the diaphragm.
  4.    The heart develops from the ectoderm.
 Discuss Question
Answer: Option D. -> The heart develops from the ectoderm.
:
D
The 3 germ layers - the ectoderm, the mesoderm, and the endoderm (endoderm) are in place at the end of gastrulation.
The Ectoderm gives rise to the central nervous system (the brain and spinal cord) etc.
The Mesoderm gives rise to connective tissue, cartilage, and bone; striated and smooth muscles and the heart walls etc.
The Endoderm gives rise to the tonsils, the thyroid gland, parathyroid glands, and thymus gland; the larynx, trachea, and lungs; the gastrointestinal tract, the urinary bladder etc.
