Delivery of developed foetus is

  1. Ovulation

  2. Oviposition

  3. Parturition

  4. Abortion
Reveal answer Fill a bubble to check yourself
C Correct answer
Explanation

The delivery of the developed foetus after 9 months is known as parturition. Ovulation is the release of the secondary oocyte from the ovary. 

Oviposition is known as the egg-laying stage.
Abortion is the ending of the pregnancy before time. If it is abrupt then it is known as a miscarriage but if the abortion is surgical and through pills, it is known as induced abortion.
So, the correct option is 'Parturition'.

Thick yellow, high protein fluid produced by mammary glands of a woman during first $2-3$ days after child birth is

  1. Meconium

  2. Hymen

  3. Cumulus oophorus

  4. Colostrum
Reveal answer Fill a bubble to check yourself
D Correct answer
Explanation
The mammary glands undergo differentiation during pregnancy and start producing milk towards the end of pregnancy by the process called lactation.
The milk produced during the initial few days of lactation – colostrum. It is thick and yellow in colour. It contains several antibodies essential to develop resistance for new-borns.
so, the correct option is 'Colostrum'.

State whether the following statements are true or false.
Prolactin stimulates milk secretion and growth of breast.

  1. True

  2. False
Reveal answer Fill a bubble to check yourself
A Correct answer
Explanation
Prolactin regulates the growth of the mammary glands and formation of milk in them. Prolactin has a wide variety of effects. It stimulates the mammary glands to produce milk (lactation). Increased serum concentrations of prolactin during pregnancy cause enlargement of the mammary glands and prepare for milk production.
So, the correct option is 'True'.

Breast feeding suspends pregnancy due to

  1. Post pregnancy lower levels of FSH and LH

  2. Post pregnancy higher levels of FSH and LH which puts a negative check on ovulation

  3. Inhibiting the release of FSH by prolactin and thus countering the effects of FSH on the ovarian follicles

  4. Increasing the release of inhibin by prolactin and thus countering the effects of FSH on the ovarian follicles
Reveal answer Fill a bubble to check yourself
C Correct answer
Explanation

The hypothalamus secretes the Gonadotropin-releasing hormone which is responsible for menstruation sequence. The GnrRH repressed by the prolactin hormone, which encourages the production of milk. Without the GnRH release, the menstrual cycle wont begin a new event of pregnancy.

As long as prolactin level are high, GnRH generally won't be release. Now GnRH is responsible for the release of the follicular stimulating hormone. The hormone FSH is responsible for the formation of ovarian follicle. So, as GnRH is stopped there will be an inhibition in the release of FSH by prolactin and thus thus it counter the effects of FSH on the ovarian follicle. So, there will be a delay in ovulation that will automatically prevent pregnancy. 
So, the correct option is 'Inhibiting the release of FSH by prolactin and thus countering the effects of FSH on the ovarian follicle'.

Which of these is not an important component of the initiation of parturition in humans?

  1. Synthesis of prostaglandins

  2. Release of oxytocin

  3. Release of prolactin

  4. Increase in estrogen and progesterone ratio
Reveal answer Fill a bubble to check yourself
C Correct answer
Explanation

  • Parturition is a phenomenon of giving birth. It is a process of delivering a child from the womb to the outside. It is usually initiated by the release of oxytocin hormone. 
  • This hormone increases the contraction of uterine muscles. Prostaglandins are synthesized and released in response to the oxytocin hormone. Also, an increase in estrogen and progesterone ratio indicates the initiation of the parturition process. 
  • Prolactin hormones are released after the parturition in order to secrete the milk from the mammary gland.

Thus, the correct answer is 'Release of prolactin.'

Which of the following statement is incorrect regarding the parturition?

  1. The signals of parturition originate from fully developed foetus and ovary

  2. Relaxin hormine relaxes the pubic symphysis during parturition

  3. Thyroxine is a main parturition hormone

  4. HCG is responsible for labour pain
Reveal answer Fill a bubble to check yourself
C Correct answer
Explanation

Parturition is the process of giving birth to the child.

A)its signal starts from the mature fetus.
B)Relaxin hormone relaxes the pubic symphysis during parturition by softening and lightening pubic symphysis.
C)Oxytocin is the main parturition hormone.
D)HCG is responsible for labor pain.
So the correct option is 'Thyroxine is the main parturition hormone'.

Foetal ejection reflex triggers the release of 

  1. Prolactin by maternal pituitary

  2. Prolactin by foetal pituitary

  3. Oxytocin by foetal pituitary

  4. Oxytocin by maternal pituitary
Reveal answer Fill a bubble to check yourself
D Correct answer
Explanation

The foetal ejection reflex is triggered by the fully developed foetus and placenta, which sends signals to the maternal pituitary gland to release oxytocin. Oxytocin then causes the uterine contractions necessary for childbirth.

The haemoglobin of a human foetus

  1. Has a higher affinity for oxygen than that of an adult

  2. Has a lower affinity for oxygen than that of the adult

  3. Its affinity for oxygen is the same as that of an adult
  4. Has only $2$ protein subunits instead of $4$
Reveal answer Fill a bubble to check yourself
A Correct answer
Explanation
  • The oxygen is needed for aerobic respiration and diffuses from a region of high to low concentration from the mother's blood to the blood of the foetus. 
  • The haemoglobin of the foetus has a higher affinity for oxygen than that of adult haemoglobin and so the efficiency of exchange is increased

So, the correct answer is 'Has a higher affinity for oxygen than that of an adult'

If a couple has four girls ,the probability of fifth child being male is _________.

  1. $50\%$
  2. $25\%$
  3. $75\%$
  4. $100\%$
Reveal answer Fill a bubble to check yourself
A Correct answer
Explanation

The gender of the consecutive children does not depend on each other. So, every time the couple has a kid, there is equal chances of them having a girl or a boy. Therefore, the probability would be 50% reasonably.

In human beings, pregnancy lasts for $9$ months. The gestation period of dog, elephant, cat and cow is given. Which of the following is wrong match?

  1. Animal - Dog, Gestation period - $60-65$ days
  2. Animal- Elephant, Gestation period - $607-641$ days
  3. Animal - Cat, Gestation period - $52-65$ days
  4. Animal - Cow, Gestation period - $330-345$ days
Reveal answer Fill a bubble to check yourself
A Correct answer
Explanation

Gestation length varies by age of dam, breed, and sex of the calf. Gestation length ranges from 279 to 287 days. For most breeds, 283 days is common. In dogs, the entire gestation period is approximately nine weeks, or 63 days, although it can range from 58 to 68 days. Cat pregnancy normally lasts between 63 to 67 days, but it can be tough to know exactly how long a cat is pregnant for. The cat gestation period can vary from as short as 61 days to as long as 72 days. so, 'the correct option is-Animal - Cow, Gestation period - 330−345 days'
