Which of the following is not a component of the reflex?

biology nervous system of man reflex action innate and learned behaviour coordination in human beings- chemical control

  1. Receptor

  2. Effector

  3. Motor neuron

  4. Plexus

Show answer
Correct Option: D
Explanation:

Plexus is a powered weight loss supplement that mix with water and drink. Plexus is slim claimed to help you lose weight by making you feel more full. It is also claimed to help reduce blood sugar and cholesterol levels.

So, the correct option is 'Plexus'.

Choose the correct answer from the alternatives given.
Which of the following are the first and last elements in a spinal reflex?

biology nervous system of man reflex action innate and learned behaviour coordination in human beings- chemical control

  1. Axon and dendrite

  2. Sense organ and muscle effector

  3. Ventral horn and dorsal horn

  4. Motor neuron and sensory neuron

Show answer
Correct Option: B
Explanation:

  • Receptor - sense organ in the skin, muscle, or another organ.
  • Sensory neuron - carrier impulse within CNS
Interneuron - carrier impulse within CNS
  • Motor neuron - carrier impulse towards CNS
  • Effector - structure by which an animal responds.
So, the correct option is 'Sense organs and muscle effector'.

Which one of the following pairs of organs includes only the endocrine glands?

zoology control and coordination in living organisms introduction to human endocrine system endocrine system and hormone coordination in human beings- chemical control

  1. Thymus and testes

  2. Adrenal and eye

  3. Parathyroid and adrenal

  4. Pancreas and parathyroid

Show answer
Correct Option: C
Explanation:

Hormones are secreted by the endocrine system. Endocrine glands do not have ducts. Their secretions (hormones) are secreted into the bloodstream. Discrete endocrine glands - these include the pituitary (hypophysis), thyroid, parathyroid, adrenal and pineal glands. Endocrine component of glands with both an endocrine and an exocrine function- these include the kidney, pancreas and gonads. 

Action of endocrine glands is mediated through

  1. Hormones

  2. Enzymes

  3. Minerals

  4. Vitamins

Show answer
Correct Option: A
Explanation:

Endocrine glands release hormones (chemical messengers) into the bloodstream to be transported to various organs and tissues throughout the body.

  1. Endocrine gland

  2. Exocrine gland

  3. Brain

  4. Bone marrow

Show answer
Correct Option: A
Explanation:

The gland is an endocrine gland as it released many hormones which travels to the target site cells through blood. Adrenal gland and thyroid gland are endocrine glands.

Endocrine glands release hormones directly into the

  1. Blood

  2. Lymph

  3. Capillary

  4. Vein

Show answer
Correct Option: A
Explanation:

Endocrine glands are the glands of the endocrine system of our body that secretes their hormones, products, directly into the blood. Pineal gland, pituitary gland, pancreas, ovaries, testes, thyroid gland, parathyroid gland, hypothalamus and adrenal glands are the major endocrine glands. In contrast to these glands, some glands release their hormones with the help of a duct onto the epithelial surface and are called endocrine glands. Some of these are sweat gland, mammary gland, lacrimal gland, salivary gland, sebaceous gland, mucous gland etc. 

So, the correct answer is option A.

All functions of the body are regulated and integrated by

  1. Respiratory system

  2. Digestive system

  3. Neuroendocrine system

  4. Excretory system

Show answer
Correct Option: C
Explanation:

Hormones are used to communicate between organs and tissues to regulate physiological and behavioral activities, such as digestion, metabolism, respiration, tissue function, sensory perception, sleep, excretion, lactation, stress, growth and development, movement, reproduction, and mood.

Which of the following hormones is a steroid?

zoology the endocrine system introduction to human endocrine system endocrine system and hormone coordination in human beings- chemical control

  1. Prostaglandin

  2. Estrogen

  3. Thyroxine

  4. Adrenaline

Show answer
Correct Option: B
Explanation:

A steroid hormone is a steroid that acts as a hormone. Steroid hormones can be grouped into two classes : Corticosteroids and sex steroids. Within those two classes are the five types according to the receptors to which they bind : glucocorticoid,  mineralocorticoids, androgens, estorgens and progesterone. 

So the correct option is "Estrogen".

Endocrine glands release hormones directly into the blood. ............. transports it to the target organs .................. 

zoology the endocrine system introduction to human endocrine system endocrine system and hormone coordination in human beings- chemical control

  1. Blood, target organ

  2. Effector organ, blood

  3. Ducts, target organ

  4. Capillaries, target organ

Show answer
Correct Option: A
Explanation:

Endocrine glands release hormones directly into the blood for transportation to the effector organ. The effector organ can also be called as a target organ. The major glands of the endocrine system include the pineal gland, pituitary gland, pancreas, ovaries, testes, thyroid gland, parathyroid gland, hypothalamus and adrenal glands.

So, the correct answer is option A.
