Given below is a table comparing the effects of sympathetic and parasympathetic nervous system
for four feature (a-d). Which one feature is correctly described
Feature | Sympathetic nervous system | Parasympathetic nervous system |
a) Salivary glands | Stimulate Secretion | Inhibit Secretion |
b) Pupil of the eye | Dilate | Constricts |
c) Heart rate | Decreases | Increases |
d) Intestinal peristalsis | Stimulates | Inhibits |
Which one of the following animals is correctly matched with its one characteristic and the taxon
Animal | Characteristic | Taxon |
Millipede | Ventral nerve cord | Arachnida |
Duckbill platypus | Oviparous | Mammalia |
Silverfish | Pectoral and pelvic fin | Chordata |
Sea anemone | Triploblastic | Cnidaria |
All mammals without any exception are characterised by
viviparity and biconcave red blood cells
extra-abdominal testes and a four chambered heart
heterodont teeth and 12 pairs of cranial nerves
a muscular diaphragm and milk producing
glands.
Which one of the following pairs of the kind of cells and their secretion is correctly matched
Oxyntic cells | a secretion with pH between 2.0 and 3.0 |
Alpha cells of islets of Langerhans | secretion that decreases blood sugar level |
Kupffer cells | a digestive enzyme that hydrolyses nucleic acids |
Sebaceous glands | a secretion that evaporates for cooling |
D.
Sebaceous glands | a secretion that evaporates for cooling |
Oxyntic (or parietal) cell is present in the wall of the stomach that produce HCI which forms the part of gastric juice. Oxyntic cell also produce intrinsic factor which is involved in the absorption of vitamin B12 in the small intestine. The pH of gastric acid is 2-3 in the stomach of the lumen. The acidity being maintained by the proton pump, a H+/ K+ ATPase.
Alpha cell ofislets of langerhans secrete glucagon hormone which raises blood glucose level by stimulating liver to convert glycogen to glucose and by stimulating the conservation of fatty acids and amino acids to glucose.
Kupffer cells arc specialized macrophages that disposes of old blood cells and particulate matter. Kupffer cells, named after Karl Wilhem Von Kupffer, are found in the bloodstreams and in the liver, attached to the walls of the sinusoids.
Sebaceous gland is a simple or branched glands in the skin that secrete an oily substance, sebum which is fatty mildly antiseptic material that protects, lubricates, and waterproofs the skin and hair and help prevent dessication.
