Multiple choice zoology skeleton and joints introduction to movement introduction to locomotion movement

In Amoeba, the conversion of plasma gel into plasma sol at the trailing end and the conversion of plasma sol into plasma gel at the advancing end explains

  1. attachment to substratum

  2. contraction theory

  3. continuous viscosity changes

  4. theory of rolling movement
Reveal answer Fill a bubble to check yourself
A Correct answer
Explanation

Sol-gel theory explains that it is the method for producing solid material from small molecules. The process involves the conversion of monomers into a colloidal solution (sol) that acts as the precursors for an integrated network (or get) or either discrete particles or network polymers.

So, the correct option is 'attachment to substratum'.

Multiple choice zoology excretion to maintain homeostasis haemodialysis kidney dialysis kidney disorders

Which one of the following is correct with reference to haemodialysis? 

  1. Absorbs and resends excess of ions.

  2. The dialysis unit has a coiled cellophone tube

  3. Blood is pumped back through suitable artery after haemodialysis

  4. Nitrogenous wastes are removed by active.
Reveal answer Fill a bubble to check yourself
B Correct answer
Explanation
Haemodialysis is done in the patients whose kidneys become completely non-functional. Haemodialysis is the process of diffusion across a semipermeable membrane to remove unwanted substances from the blood while adding derivable components. The dialysis unit consists of a coiled cellophane tube kept it the dialysing fluid. The membrane of the tube is impermeable to blood cells and proteins but permeable to urea, uric acid, creatinine and mineral ions.

So, the correct answer is 'The dialysis unit has a coiled cellophone tube'.

Dialysing unit (artificial kidney) contains a fluid which is almost same as plasma except that it has 

  1. High glucose

  2. High urea

  3. No urea

  4. High uric acid
Reveal answer Fill a bubble to check yourself
C Correct answer
Explanation

Artificial kidney (Dialysing unit ) is a machine that is used for filtration of blood in the people whose kidneys are failed or damaged by the process called Dialysis.

Dialysis fluid is produced by the blending of treated water with electrolytes at the patient's bedside. The composition of the dialysis fluid should match that of plasma except for the nitrogenous waste (urea). 

So the answer is 'No urea'.

The process of filtering of blood through an artificial kidney called as ............

  1. Transplantation

  2. Dialysis

  3. Filtration

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

Dialysis of kidneys is a process in which the blood is purified with the help of machine. It is done when the Kidneys fail to perform their function of filtering blood and balancing electrolytes and fluid concentration. Due to this,  Dialysis is also referred as Artificial Kidneys. Transplantation is a process in which a damaged organ is replaced by the healthy one. And filteration and diffusion are process that occurs in kidneys as well as other cells of the body. 

Multiple choice zoology excretory products and their elimination haemodialysis kidney dialysis kidney disorders

In uraemia, artificial kidney is used for removing accumulated waste products like urea by the process called

  1. Micturition

  2. Ureotehsm

  3. Reverse dialysis

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

The process of filtering the blood by the artificial kidney is known as hemodialysis. It is a method of removing excess water, nitrogenous wastes (urea), toxins from the blood in the patient who is rapidly developing loss of kidney function. It is also called renal replacement therapy. Uraemia is the presence of excess urea in the blood. It may occur due to chronic kidney disease or kidney failure. Hence In uraemia, the artificial kidney is used for removing accumulated waste products like urea by the process called hemodialysis.

So, the correct answer is 'Haemodialysis'.

  1. Liver

  2. Lung

  3. Heart

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

The process of filtering the blood by the artificial kidney is known as hemodialysis. It is a method of removing excess water, nitrogenous wastes (urea), toxins from the blood in the patient who is rapidly developing loss of kidney function. It is also called renal replacement therapy. Hence haemodialysis is also called as artificial Kidney.

So, the correct answer is 'Kidney'.

Multiple choice zoology excretion to maintain homeostasis haemodialysis kidney dialysis kidney disorders

In the case of renal failure and uraemia , which one of the following is employed?

  1. Kindey replacement

  2. Lithotripsy

  3. Haemodialysis

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

  • Haemodialysis is a process of purifying the blood of a person whose kidneys are not working normally. This type of dialysis achieves the extracorporeal removal of waste products such as creatinine and urea and free water from the blood when the kidneys are in a state of kidney failure. 
  • Haemodialysis is one of three renal replacement therapies (the other two being kidney transplant and peritoneal dialysis). An alternative method for extracorporeal separation of blood components such as plasma or cells is apheresis.

So the correct option is 'Haemodialysis'.

Multiple choice zoology excretion to maintain homeostasis haemodialysis kidney dialysis kidney disorders

Which one of the following is correct with reference to haemodialysis?

  1. Absorbs and resends excess of ions

  2. The dialysis unit has a coiled cellophane tube

  3. Blood is pumped back through a suitable artery after haemodialysis

  4. Anti-heparin is added prior to haemodialysis
Reveal answer Fill a bubble to check yourself
B Correct answer
Explanation

Answer is option B i.e. "The dialysis unit has a coiled cellophane tube"
Dialysis is an ‘artificial kidney’ consists of a long coiled cellophane tube immersed in a water bath. The cellophane tube is semi-permeable and allows body waste to diffuse out of the blood into the water bath, while retaining the plasma proteins and blood cells, only the excess amounts of ions and glucose diffuse into the bath from the blood.

Blood dialysis is called

  1. Artificial lung

  2. Artificial kidney

  3. Artificial heart

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

Malfunctioning of kidneys can lead to accumulation of urea in blood, a condition called uremia, which is highly harmful and may lead to kidney failure. In such patients, urea can be removed by a process called hemodialysis (artificial kidney). In this procedure, blood drained from a convenient artery is pumped into a dialysing unit after adding an anticoagulant like heparin. The unit contains a coiled cellophane tube surrounded by a fluid (dialysing fluid) having the same composition as that of plasma except for the nitrogenous wastes. The porous cellophane membrane of the tube allows the passage of molecules based on concentration gradient. As nitrogenous wastes are absent in the dialysing fluid, these substances freely move out, thereby clearing the blood. The cleared blood is pumped back to the body through a vein after adding anti-heparin to it. This method is a boon for thousands of uremic patients all over the world.

Which one of the following is correct with reference to hemodialysis?

  1. Absorbs and resends excess of ions.

  2. The dialysis unit has a coiled cellophane tube.

  3. Blood is pumped back through a suitable artery after haemodialysis.

  4. Nitrogenous wastes are removed by active transport.
Reveal answer Fill a bubble to check yourself
B Correct answer
Explanation

The process of purifying blood artificially of a person whose kidney is not working is called hemodialysis. In this process, the impure blood is taken to a dialyzer and returned pure to the body. While filtering, the blood flows through tubes made up of a membrane (cellophane) that allows the waste products smaller than the blood cells to pass through it. Passing through the membrane the waste products goes into a dialysis solution called dialysate then out of the machine. The clean and pure blood is carried on through and returned safely to the body.
