Two individuals A and B, each of 75 kg body weight, have similar volume of body water. Both of them had high salt snack. However, individual A also had a glass of alcoholic drink. Based on this information, which one of the following statements is true?
A will have lower circulating level of antidiuretic hormone (ADH) than B
B will have lower circulating level of ADH than A
The level of ADH will not change in these two individuals
The reabsorption of water in kidney will be more in A than B
A.
A will have lower circulating level of antidiuretic hormone (ADH) than B
Antidiuretic hormone helps to control blood pressure by acting on the kidneys and the blood vessels. Its most important role is to conserve the fluid volume of your body by reducing the amount of water passed out in the urine. It does this by allowing water in the urine to be taken back into the body in a specific area of the kidney. Dietary sodium intake increases vasopressin secretion in man and the increased urine flow results from alcohol’s acute inhibition of the release of antidiuretic hormone (ADH). When A consumed a salted diet and alcohol— there will be increase in ADH release and subsequently inhibition in the release, but the inhibition of ADH release is not possible in Individual B, so option (A).
The different waves of normal electrocardiogram (ECG) of a human subject are shown below: The relationship of the events of cardiac cycle to these ECG waves are proposed in the following statements:

The excitation of auditory hair cells by the displacement of stereocilia has been explained in the following proposed statements:
(a) The gradual increased height of stereocilia is required for the transduction process
(b) The changes of membrane potential of auditory hair cells are proportional to the direction and magnitude of the displacement of stereocilia
(c) The higher concentration of K+ in endolymph and higher concentration of Na+ in perilymph are not required for the excitation of hair cells.
(d) The mechanically sensitive cation channels on the top of stereocilia are not adapted to maintain displacement of stereocilia

(a) and (b)
(b) and (c)

The figure below represents normal sex determination, differentiation and development in humans.
Identify A, B, C and D.
A = WT1 (Wilm’s Tumor 1),B = MIS (Mullerian Inhibitory Substance), C = SRY, D = Testosterone
A = GnRH, B = FSH, C = Testosterone, D = 5α Reductase
A = SRY, B = MIS, C = Testosterone, D = DHT (Dihydrotestosterone)
A = WT1, B = LH, C = ABP (Androgen Binding Protein), D = Inhibin
