A polypeptide that regulates hunger is

  1. Endorphin

  2. Encephalin

  3. Insulin

  4. None of the above


Correct Option: A
Explanation:
Endomorphins are the chemical substance which is present in the neurons. It helps in the perception of pain, reactions to stress, and cardiovascular, respiratory and digestive functions. They are produced within the body so they are known as endogenous. They specifically work by binding to opoid receptors which are mainly found in nervous system and regulates the motor neurons and autonomic nervous system. The regulation of sympathetic and parasympathetic chain helps to control hunger.
So, the correct answer is option A.

Autonomic nervous system affects 

  1. Reflex actions

  2. Internal organs

  3. Sensory organs

  4. Motor organs


Correct Option: B

Intercellular communication in multicellular organisms occur through

  1. Digestive system

  2. Nervous system

  3. Both-nervous and endocrine systems

  4. Respiratory system only


Correct Option: C

One function of parasympathetic nervous system is

  1. Contraction of rectum

  2. Inhibits salivation

  3. Acceleration of heart beat

  4. Constriction of pupil


Correct Option: D
Explanation:

The parasympathetic nervous system, or PSNS, is a part of the nervous system. The nervous system sends signals to and from different parts of the body via nerves. The PSNS is responsible for all the activities that take place when the body is at rest. During a period of flight and fight, the pupils dilate to allow us to see more clearly and make faster decisions. During rest and digest, the PSNS causes the pupils to constrict.

So, the correct option is ' Constriction of pupil '.
