Question 1
1 / -0

Consider the diagram given above. Parts labelled as 'A', 'B', 'C', 'D' and 'E' respectively indicate

A
Ilium, femur, tibia, pubis and sacrum

B
Pubis, tibia, femur, ilium and sacrum

C
Ilium, tibia, femur, pubis and sacrum

D
Pubis, tibia, femur, ilium and ulna

E
Pubis, femur, tibia, ilium and sacrum
Solution
- In vertebrates, the pubic bone is ventral and anterior of the three principal bones composing either half of the pelvis.
- The femur or thigh bone is the most proximal (closest to the center of the body) bone of the leg.
- The tibia is also known as the shinbone or shank bone is the larger and stronger of the two bones in the leg below the knee in vertebrates.
- The ilium is the largest of the three innominate bones of the pelvis. It is a large, flattened, cup-shaped bone having a large crest anteriorly.
- The sacrum is a wedge-shaped bony structure that is located at the base of the lumbar vertebrae and is connected to the pelvis.
So, the correct answer is option E.
Question 2
1 / -0

Which one of the following pairs correctly matches a hormone with a disease resulting from its deficiency?

A
Relaxin- Gigantism

B
Prolactin- Cretinism

C
Parathyroid hormone- Tetany

D
Insulin- Diabetes insipidus

Solution

Hypoparathyroidism is the state of decreased secretion or activity of parathyroid hormone (PTH). This leads to decreased blood levels of calcium (hypocalcemia) and increased levels of blood phosphorus (hyperphosphatemia). Symptoms range from quite mild tingling in the hands, fingers, and around the mouth to more severe forms of muscle cramps. The most severe symptoms are tetany (severe muscle cramping of the entire body) and convulsions.
Question 3
1 / -0

An age-dependent disorder characterized by increased fragility and low bone mass resulting from deficiency of Ca and vitamin D is

A
Oesteoporosis

B
Osteoarthritis

C
Rheumatoid arthritis

D
Gout

E
Rickets

Solution

Osteoporosis is a progressive bone disease characterized by a decrease in bone mass and density which can lead to an increased risk of fracture. In osteoporosis, the bone mineral density is reduced. Low levels of vitamin D is associated with osteoporosis.
Therefore, the correct answer is option A.
Question 4
1 / -0

Tetany is sustained contraction of muscle is due to

A
Parathyroid deficiency

B
${ Ca }^{ ++ }$ deficiency

C
Both A and B

D
Autoimmune disease

Solution

Parathormone of parathyroid gland reduces the blood phosphate level while increases the blood calcium level. Therefore, hyposecretion of parathyroid hormone decreases the blood calcium level due to its increased excretion in urine. It causes increased excitability of muscles and their sustained contraction referred to as parathyroid tetany. Thus, the correct answer is option C.
Question 5
1 / -0

Removal of parathyroids in human beings result in

A
Tetany

B
Simmond's disease

C
Myxoedema

D
Addison's disease

Solution

Parathormone of parathyroid gland increases the blood calcium level. Removal of parathyroid gland decreases the blood calcium level due to its increased excretion in urine. It causes increased excitability of muscles and their sustained contraction referred to as parathyroid tetany. Myxedema is caused by hypothyroidism in adults while Addison’s disease is caused by the presence of ineffective ACTH. Simmond's disease is caused by the destruction of the anterior pituitary lobe. Thus, the correct answer is A.
Question 6
1 / -0

Total number of bones in appendicular skeleton of rabbit is

A
128

B
120

C
80

D
37

Solution

The endoskeleton in mammals is divided into two parts, axial and appendicular. The axial skeleton lies along the longitudinal axis of the body and includes the skull, vertebral column, ribs and sternum. In the rabbit, the axial skeleton comprises of 132 bones. The appendicular skeleton includes bones of the limbs. In the rabbit, it is made up of 128 bones and in humans, it is made up of 126 bones.
Therefore, the correct answer is option A.
Question 7
1 / -0

One of the reasons of the neurological disorder amongst the poors in India is due to eating of

A
Cicer arietinum

B
Lathyrus sativus

C
Pisum sativum

D
Vigna mungo

Solution

Lathyrus sativus (grass pea) causes the neurological disorder known as lathyrism or neurolathyrism. It has high concentration of neurotoxin β-oxalyl-L-α,β-diaminopropionic acid which causes paralysis. It is a poison of mitochondria which causes cell death.
So, the correct answer is 'Lathyrus sativus'.
Question 8
1 / -0

Chronic intake of steroid can cause

A
Osteoporosis

B
Cushing syndrome

C
Reye's syndrome

D
Both A and B

Solution

Cushing's syndrome is a hormonal disorder caused by high levels of cortisol. The common symptoms include weight gain and fatty tissue deposits, thinning, fragile skin, fatigue, muscle weakness, headache. Excessive stimulation of adrenal cortex releases the high level of cortisol. In osteoporosis, bones become brittle and weak that can be fractured. Chronic intake of steroids can cause both of the above-mentioned conditions. Thus, the correct answer is option D.
Question 9
1 / -0

We move our hands while walking for

A
Fast movement

B
Balancing

C
Increasing blood circulation

D
Relieving tension

Solution

Arm swing in human bipedal walking is a natural motion, that each arm swings with the motion of the opposing leg. Swinging arms in an opposing direction with respect to the lower-limb reduces the angular momentum of the body, balancing the rotational motion produced during walking. Arm swing also improves the stability and energy efficiency in human locomotion.
Question 10
1 / -0

Duchenne muscular dystrophy is

A
Autosomal disorder

B
Dominant autosomal disorder

C
Sex linked disorder

D
Recessive autosomal disorder

Solution

Duchenne muscular dystrophy is a X-linked recessive disorder. The associated genes are located on the X chromosome, which is one of the two sex chromosomes. Since males are hemizygous for chromosome (have only one X chromosome), one copy of the affected gene in each cell is sufficient to cause the disorder. Females have two X chromosomes and hence need two copies of the affected gene to cause the disorder. Females heterozygous for this trait be normal but serve as a carrier of the disease. Since frequency of females with two altered copies of this gene, males are affected by this disorders much more frequently than females. Duchenne muscular dystrophy is never passed from father to sons because fathers cannot pass X-linked traits to their sons. Thus, Duchenne muscular dystrophy is a sex linked disease not an autosomal trait which is passed to both sex with equal frequency. Option C is correct answer.
