Question 21. Pituitary gland is located
  1.    Below the hypothalamus
  2.    Above the hypothalamus
  3.    Below the cerebellum
  4.    Above cerebrum
 Discuss Question
Answer: Option A. -> Below the hypothalamus
:
A
Pituitary gland is the major endocrine gland, a pea-sized body attached to the base of the brain just below the hypothalamus. It is important in controlling growth and development and the functioning of the other endocrine glands.
Question 22. Which of the following are responsible for refraction and focusing?
  1.    Cornea
  2.    Aqueous humour
  3.    Lens
  4.    All of these
 Discuss Question
Answer: Option D. -> All of these
:
D
Like a camera, the human eye focuses light to produce sharp images. Light rays reflecting from distant objects are focused on the retina after they passed through the cornea, aqueous humor, the lens, and finally the vitreous humor.
Question 23. The most important structures to receive external stimulus are (1)__ and the system of these organs is called (2)__ .Two  major sense organs are  (3)__ and (4)__.  The sense organs of human body are of  (5)__ types.
  1.    1. Effectors organs, 2. Motor system, 3. Eye, 4. Ear,  5. 6
  2.    1. Receptor organs, 2. Sensory system, 3. Ear, 4. Eye, 5. 5
  3.    1. Effectors organs, 2. Motor system,  3. Eye,  4. Ear,  5. 4
  4.    1. Receptor organs, 2. Sensory system, 3. Ear, 4. Eye, 5. 3
 Discuss Question
Answer: Option B. -> 1. Receptor organs, 2. Sensory system, 3. Ear, 4. Eye, 5. 5
:
B
The most important structures to receive external stimulus are Receptor organs, and the system of these organs is called Sensory system.Two prominent sense organs areear and eye. Based on the sensations they receive, receptor organs systems are categorised into 5 types: Gustatory, Olfactory, Visual, Auditory and Tactile systems.
Question 24. Which cranial nerve controls the heart muscle?
  1.    Facial
  2.    Auditory
  3.    Vagus
  4.    Trochlear
 Discuss Question
Answer: Option C. -> Vagus
:
C
Thevagus nerveis one of 12 cranial nerves. It is the longest of the cranial nerves, extending from the brainstem to the abdomen by way of multiple organs.The vagus nerve is two nerves that go through the brain stem and enter different parts of the body such as the heart and the stomach.
Question 25. Hearing is controlled by
  1.    Cerebellum
  2.    Cerebrum
  3.    Temporal lobes
  4.    Hypothalamus
 Discuss Question
Answer: Option C. -> Temporal lobes
:
C
Thetemporal lobeis involved in primary auditory perception, such as hearing, and holds the primary auditory cortex.
Question 26. Action potential in a polarised neuron triggers _____.
  1.    Depolarization
  2.    Hyperpolarization
  3.    Repolarization
  4.    No change
 Discuss Question
Answer: Option C. -> Repolarization
:
C
The onset of the action potential in a polarized neuron triggers repolarisation.
The onset of anaction potential is marked by the opening of voltage-gated Na+ channels. The depolarization that occurs due to this, causes the neuron membrane to attain a voltage that triggers the opening of voltage-gated K+channels. Then K+ions rush out through this channels, reducing the positive charge inside the neuron, it causes repolarization of the neuronal membrane.
Action Potential In A Polarised Neuron Triggers _____.
Question 27. The substance that is released at axonal endings to propagate a nervous impulse is called  _____.
  1.    Sodium-Potassium pump
  2.    Neurotransmitter
  3.    Action Potential
  4.    Nerve glue
 Discuss Question
Answer: Option B. -> Neurotransmitter
:
B
Neurotransmitters are chemicals that are used to relay, amplify and modulate electrical signals between a neuron and another cell. They are released by vesicles present in the pre-synaptic knob ofaxon terminals. Then they get released into synaptic cleft and bind to the receptors presenton the membrane of a post-synaptic membrane of either another nerve cell of a muscle cell.
Question 28. Transmission of nerve impulse is ________ .
  1.    Bidirectional
  2.    Unidirectional
  3.    Multidirectional
  4.    All of these
 Discuss Question
Answer: Option B. -> Unidirectional
:
B
Nerve impulse alwaysenter and leave a neuronthrough the dendrites and axon endings respectively. This always ensures unidirectional impulse transmission.
Question 29. Depolarization of axolemma during nerve conduction takes place because _____.
  1.    Equal amount of Na+ and K+ move across the axolemma
  2.    Na+ ions move inside
  3.    More Na+ ions outside
  4.    More K+ ions outside
 Discuss Question
Answer: Option B. -> Na+ ions move inside
:
B
Depolarization of a nerve cell membrane occurs during the passage of an action potential along the axon where the nerve is transmitting an impulse. During depolarization, the Voltage-gated Na+ channels open, and Na+ rush into the axon. Entry of sodium ions leads to depolarization (reversal of polarity) of the nerve membrane. This membrane depolarization causes the opening of voltage-gated K+channels, allowing K+ions to exit and repolarization of the membrane.
Question 30. Macula lutea is located in
  1.    Middle of retina
  2.    Below lens
  3.    Below Iris
  4.    Below pupil
 Discuss Question
Answer: Option A. -> Middle of retina
:
A
Macula lutea is an oval yellowish area surrounding the fovea near the centre of the retina in the eye. This region of the retina is responsible for sharp and detailed vision, also called visual acuity. This region contains very high concentration of cone cells.
