"Anti abortion" hormone is 

  1. Relaxin

  2. Oxytocin

  3. Progestrone

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

Progesterone belongs to a group of steroid hormones called as progestogens. It is mainly secreted by the corpus luteum in the ovary during the second half of the menstrual cycle. It plays important roles in the menstrual cycle and in maintaining the early stages of pregnancy. The progesterone prepares the body for pregnancy in the event, that the released egg is fertilised. If the egg is not fertilised, the corpus luteum breaks down, the production of progesterone falls and a new menstrual cycle begins. Hence, progesterone is called as the 'anti abortion' hormone.

Stimulation of uterine contraction during child birth is brought by 

  1. Adrenaline

  2. Progesterone

  3. Oxytocin

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

When contraction of the uterus starts, oxytocin is released, which stimulates more contractions and more oxytocin is released. In this way, contractions increase in intensity and frequency. Oxytocin causes contractions during the second and third stages of labor.

Which of the following help in communication with the other members of the same species?

  1. Hormones

  2. Automones

  3. Pheromones

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

Pheromones are chemicals released by an organism into its environment enabling it to communicate with other members of its own species. It changes the behaviour of another animal of the same species (animals include insects).

Which of the following is not a example of sex pheromone? 

  1. Bombykol

  2. Muskone

  3. Formic acid

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

Formic acid is the simplest carboxylic acid and occurs naturally, mostly in ant venom. 

Sex pheromones are pheromones released by an organism to attract an individual of the opposite sex, encourage them to mate with them, or perform some other function closely related with sexual reproduction. Volatile pheromones are characterized as sex pheromones and usually form a specific odour and are focused on alarm sensitivity. 
Bombykol, the sex pheromones of silkworm moths, civetone from the civet cat and muskone from the musk deer are examples of sex pheromones.

Which temporary endocrine gland forms in ovary after ovulation? 

  1. Corpus callosum

  2. Corpus albicans

  3. Corpus luteum

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

The corpus luteum is a temporary endocrine structure in female mammals, that is involved in the production of progesterone and moderate levels of estradiol and inhibin. The corpus luteum develops from an ovarian follicle during the luteal phase of the menstrual cycle or oestrous cycle, following the release of a secondary oocyte from the follicle during ovulation.

Which of the following is a gonadotropic hormone? 

  1. Collip's hormone

  2. Prolactin

  3. Oxytocin

  4. Luteinizing hormone
Reveal answer Fill a bubble to check yourself
D Correct answer
Explanation

Luteinizing hormone (LH) stimulates the production of sex hormones by gonads. Since LH acts on gonads, it is known as gonadotropic hormones.  

Oxytocin stimulates strong uterine muscle contraction during childbirth and is known as the birth hormone.
Prolactin targets mammary gland to stimulate breast development and milk production after baby birth.
Parathormone is also called as Collip's hormone and serves to regulate blood calcium level. 
So, the correct answer is option D.

Abnormal condition where mammary gland of man become female like is called as 

  1. Gynosism

  2. Gynochorism

  3. Feminization

  4. Gynaecomastia
Reveal answer Fill a bubble to check yourself
D Correct answer
Explanation

Gynaecomastia refers to the presence of enlarged mammary glands in males like that of females and is caused by the presence of extra X chromosome in males. Gonochorism is the unisexual condition. Feminization refers to the development of female secondary sexual characters caused by hormonal changes at puberty in females. So, the correct answer is option D.

ADH responsible for reabsorption of water and reduction of urine secretion is released by 

  1. Posterior pituitary gland

  2. Juxtaglomerular apparatus

  3. Anterior pituitary gland

  4. Hypothalamus
Reveal answer Fill a bubble to check yourself
A Correct answer
Explanation

ADH secretion is regulated by plasma osmolality. If osmolality increases it stimulates secretion of ADH which act at the collecting duct of nephron where it causes the reabsorption of only water and produces the concentrated urine.

So, the correct answer is 'Posterior pituitary gland'.

Which hormone is responsible for maintenance of pregnancy?

  1. HCG

  2. Progesterone

  3. Estrogen

  4. Prostaglandin
Reveal answer Fill a bubble to check yourself
B Correct answer
Explanation

Progesterone is produced from the corpus luteum, which is the small gland, that forms in the ovary after ovulation has occurred. This hormone is essential for the maintenance of pregnancy and also for the development of many symptoms during early pregnancy.

Vasopressin influences 

  1. Electrolyte efflux

  2. Nerve excitability

  3. Water reabsorption

  4. All of the above
Reveal answer Fill a bubble to check yourself
C Correct answer
Explanation

Vasopressin, also known as antidiuretic hormone (ADH), is a neurohypophysial hormone which has two primary functions- to retain water in the body and to constrict the blood vessels. Vasopressin regulates the body's retention of water by increasing water reabsorption in the collecting ducts of the kidney nephron.
