Questions Related to coordination in human beings- chemical control

Several hormones like hCG, hPL, estrogen and progesterone are produced by

biology chemical coordination and integration hormones of placenta coordination in human beings- chemical control endocrine system in humans

  1. Pituitary

  2. Ovary

  3. Placenta

  4. Fallopian tube

Show answer
Correct Option: C
Explanation:

The placenta produces two steroid hormones, Estrogen and Progesterone along with a few proteinaceous hormones which include human chorionic gonadotrophin (hCG), human placental lactogen (hPL), placental growth hormone, relaxin and kisspeptin. These hormones function to support pregnancy during the gestation period.

So, the correct option is 'Placenta'.

Human chorionic gonadotrophin is secreted by

biology chemical coordination and integration hormones of placenta coordination in human beings- chemical control endocrine system in humans

  1. Chorion

  2. Amnion

  3. Placenta

  4. Corpus luteum

Show answer
Correct Option: C
Explanation:

Human chorionic gonadotrophin is a hormone secreted by the placenta during pregnancy. It is a pregnancy indicating hormone.

Corpus luteum secretes mainly progesterone and small quantity of estrogen.
While amnion and chorion are extraembryonic Membranes separating the fetus from the endometrium.
So, the correct option is 'Placenta'.

Hormone which is not produced in women only during pregnancy is 

biology chemical coordination and integration hormones of placenta coordination in human beings- chemical control endocrine system in humans

  1. hCG

  2. hPL

  3. hCS

  4. Estrogen

Show answer
Correct Option: D
Explanation:

hCG (Human Chorionic Gonadotrophins), hPL (Human Placental Lactogen), hCS (human Chorionic somatomammotropin) are the hormones secreted by placenta so they are released during pregnancy only as the placenta is formed in pregnancy only. Placenta release other hormones as Estrogen and progesterone but these hormones are released by ovaries even in non-pregnant females. Therefore, hCG, hPL, and hCS are exclusively released in pregnancy from placenta.

So, the correct answer is 'Estrogen'.

Several hormones like hCG, hPL, Oestrogen, Progesterone are produced by

biology chemical coordination and integration hormones of placenta coordination in human beings- chemical control endocrine system in humans

  1. Ovary

  2. Placenta

  3. Fallopian tube

  4. Pituitary

Show answer
Correct Option: B
Explanation:
Hormones secreted by the placenta are  Estrogen, Progesterone, hCS, hPL & hCG. The placenta is an endocrine gland that is only present during pregnancy. hCG or the human chorionic gonadotrophin is secreted in excess amount in early pregnancy. IT's presence in urine is used for the pregnancy test. hCS or human placental somato mammotropin is also called placental lactogen. It acts a mild growth hormone. 
So the correct option is 'placenta'.

Choose the correct answers from the alternatives given.
The main role of placenta in embryonic development is to

biology chemical coordination and integration hormones of placenta coordination in human beings- chemical control endocrine system in humans

  1. act as storage organ

  2. convey nerve impulses

  3. provide essential requirements for growth of embryo

  4. protect embryo from shocks

Show answer
Correct Option: C
Explanation:

The placenta facilitates the supply of oxygen and nutrients to the embryo and also the removal of carbon dioxide and excretory/waste materials produced by the embryo.

So the correct option is 'provide essential requirements for growth of embryo'.

Fetal ejection reflex in human female is induced by

biology chemical coordination and integration hormones of placenta coordination in human beings- chemical control endocrine system in humans

  1. Pressure exerted by amniotic fluid

  2. Release of oxytocin from pituitary

  3. Fully developed foetus and placenta

  4. Differentiation of mammary glands

Show answer
Correct Option: C
Explanation:

The signals for parturition originates from the fully developed foetus and placenta, which induce mild uterine contractions called as foetal ejection reflex. This triggers the release of oxytocin, which is birth hormone from the maternal pituitary gland. This oxytocin starts a series of powerful contractions in the uterus to help expel the baby and limits bleeding of the placenta near the entry of the vaginal canal.
Thus, the correct answer is option (C).

Consider the following statements and choose the correct options.
I. Ovule is attached to the placenta by means of a stalk called filaments.
II. Ovule fuses with the stalk in the region called hilum.
III. The two protective envelopes of the ovule are called integuments.
IV. The small opening in the tip of ovule is called germ pore.

In diabetes mellitus, what condition is not possible?

bio-chemistry control and coordination in living organisms diabetes mellitus lifestyle diseases coordination in human beings- chemical control non-infectious diseases

  1. Polyuria

  2. Loss of apetite

  3. Glycosuria

  4. Ketoacidosis

Show answer
Correct Option: B
Explanation:

In diabetes mellitus, either body doesn't make enough insulin, or it can't use the insulin it does produce, or a combination of both. The cells need insulin to take in the glucose and use it for energy. Since, the cells can't take in the glucose, it builds up in blood. Common symptoms include the following: frequent urination, excessive thirst, unexplained weight loss, extreme hunger, sudden vision changes, tingling or numbness in the hands or feet, feeling very tired much of the time, very dry skin, sores, that are slow to heal, more infections than usual.

Insulin stimulates cellular glucose uptake, its utilization, and glycolysis resulting in _______.

  1. Hypoglycemia

  2. Hyperglycemia

  3. Hypo or hyperglycemia depending on the necessity of the body

  4. None of the above

Show answer
Correct Option: A
Explanation:

The pancreas is a mixed gland that acts as both an exocrine and an endocrine gland. The endocrine part of the pancreas has about 1 to 2 million Islets of Langerhans. The two main types of cells in the Islet of Langerhans are called α-cells and β-cells. The α-cells secrete a hormone called glucagon, while the β-cells secrete insulin. Insulin stimulates cellular glucose uptake, its utilization, and glycogenesis resulting in Hypoglycemia(Low blood sugar).

  • So, the correct option is 'Hypoglycemia'.

The type II diabetes is also called as the maturity onset diabetes and is characterized by normal levels of:

bio-chemistry carbohydrate metabolism diabetes mellitus lifestyle diseases coordination in human beings- chemical control non-infectious diseases

  1. Insulin

  2. Glucose

  3. Blood lipids

  4. Ketone bodies in urine

Show answer
Correct Option: A
Explanation:

Type II diabetes is referred to as maturity-onset diabetes because they are characterized by impaired insulin secretion with very less or no defects in insulin action.
