Question 1
1 / -0

Which of the following is not an endocrine gland?

A
Pancreas

B
Adrenal gland

C
Thyroid gland

D
Salivary gland

Solution

Endocrine glands are the glands which do not have a duct and secrete the contents directly in the blood stream. Pancreas, adrenal gland and thyroid gland are the examples of the endocrine glands. Salivary gland is an exocrine gland. The gland contains many lobules which pour the saliva in the common salivary duct. The salivary duct empties the contents in the mouth.

Question 2
1 / -0

Feminizing hormone is

A
Glucagon

B
Gastrin

C
Oestrogen

D
Androgens

Solution

The primary function of oestrogen is the development of the female body and secondary sexual characteristics. These include breasts, endometrium, regulation of the menstrual cycle etc. They are present in significantly higher amounts in women after menarche (onset of menstrual periods at puberty) until menopause (cessation of menstrual periods after completion of reproductive age). Hence, oestrogen is a feminizing hormone.

A
Parturition

B
Menopause

C
Menarche

D

Solution
- The reproductive cycle in females is called the menstrual cycle.

A
Development of sex organs

B
Development of secondary sexual characters

C
Change in body shape

D
All of the above
Solution
Puberty is the process of physical changes through which a child's body matures into an adult body capable of sexual reproduction to enable fertilisation. Various changes occur in the body and some are as follows:
- Morphologic changes in size, shape, composition and functioning of the body.
- Development of secondary sex characteristics.
- Development of sex organs.
- Development of pubic hair.
Question 5
1 / -0

Voice is high pitched in

A
Aged persons

B
Adult males

C
Boys

D
Females
Solution
- The larynx is also called the voice box. It is located between the pharynx and the trachea. It has a framework of cartilage that protrudes in the front of the neck and sometimes is referred to as Adam's apple.
- The larynx is considerably larger in the male than in the female; hence, Adam's apple is much more prominent in the male. At the upper end of the larynx are the vocal cords, which serve in the production of speech.
- They are set into vibration by the flow of air from the lungs. A difference in the size of the larynx is what accounts for the difference between the male and female voices; because a man's larynx is larger than a woman's, his voice is lower in pitch.
- So, the correct answer is option D.
Question 6
1 / -0

Secondary sexual characters are

A
The features which help to distinguish male from female

B
The features which are same in male and female

C
Both A and B

Solution
- Secondary sexual characters are features that appear during puberty in humans and sexual maturity in other animals. They distinguish the two sexes of a species but are not directly part of the reproductive system.
- Secondary sexual characters common in males and females: Growth of hairs under armpits and around the pubic area, increased activity of sweat and sebaceous glands, oily skin and appearance of pimples, darkening in skin colour of the genital area.
- Secondary sexual characters in male: Widening of shoulders, deepening of the voice, appearance of beard and mustaches. The growth of sex organs (testes and penis).
- Secondary sexual characters in females: Widening of pelvis and hips, high pitch voice, initiation of the menstrual cycle, the growth of mammary glands (breasts), maturation of secondary sex organs like fallopian tubes, uterus.
So, the correct answer is 'A'.

C

Question 8
1 / -0

Which gland plays a key role in metamorphosis of a frog?

A
Adrenal

B
Thyroid

C
Pituitary

D
Pancreas
Solution
- Metamorphosis is a profound change of form during development from larva to adult animals.
- The process of metamorphosis is essentially under hormonal control. Hormones from the hypothalamus (e.g. TSH or thyroid-stimulating hormone) and the thyroid gland regulate the process of metamorphosis.
- Thyroxine hormone secreted by the thyroid gland affects the tissues directly, causing the degeneration and necrosis of some cells and stimulating the growth and differentiation of others.
- Thus, thyroid glands play a key role in the metamorphosis of a frog.
Therefore, the correct answer is option B.
Question 9

A
Chips, noodles and coke

B

Solution
- A balanced diet means that the meals include proteins, carbohydrates, fats, and vitamins in requisite proportions. The right meal of roti/rice, dal (pulses), and vegetables is a balanced meal that constitutes all those needed for nourishment required in adolescents.
- Chips and packed or tinned snacks, though very tasty should never replace regular meals as they do not have adequate nutritional value.
Thus, Option "B" is correct.
