Chemical Coordination And Integration Topic Based

Question : 1

Match the source gland with its respective hormone as well as the functions

 Source glandHormoneFunction
(a)Anterior pituitaryOxytocinContraction of uterus muscles during child birth
(b) Posterior pituitaryVasopressinStimulates resorption of water in the distal tubules in nephron
(c)Corpus luteumEstrogen Supports pregnancy
(d)ThyroidThyroxine Regulates blood calcium level


Answer: (a)

Question : 2

Which one of the following hormones though synthesized elsewhere, is stored and released by the master gland ?


Answer: (a)

Question : 3

Which one of the following pairs of hormones are the examples of those that can easily pass through cell membrane and the target cell and binds to a receptor inside it (mostly in the nucleus)?


Answer: (d)

Question : 4

Which of the following statement(s) is/are correct ?

  1. Maximum iodine is stored in thyroid gland
  2. Calcitonin is a non-iodinated hormone secreted by parafollicular cells of thyroid gland.
  3. Calcitonin (TCT) regulates the blood $Ca^{+2}$ level
  4. TCT is hypocalcemic factor


Answer: (b)

Question : 5

Which of the following hormones is not a secretion product of human placenta ?


Answer: (a)

Question : 6

Assertion :
Failure of secretion of hormone vasopressin causes diabetes mellitus in the patient.
Reason :
Vasopressin increases the volume of urine by increasing the reabsorption of water from the urine.


Answer: (d)

Vasopressin or anti-diuretic hormone (ADH) reduces the volume of urine by increasing the reabsorption of water from the urine in the distal convoluted tubules, collecting tubules and collecting ducts in the kidney. It does so by rendering the walls of these tubules leads to diabetes insipidus (increased urination). Although the volume of urine is increased. No glucose appears in the urine of such patients. Diabetes mellitus is a disease which is caused due to the failure of insulin hormone secretion by the pancreatic islets. The osmotic effect of glucose in the urine considerably increases the volume of urine, due to which thirst is also enhanced. In extreme cases, the patient suffers from coma and may die.

Question : 7

  1. Melatonin influences menstrual cycle and our defence capability.
  2. In adult women, hypothyroidism may cause menstrual cycle to become irregular.
  3. Protein hormone secreted by thyroid, TCT (Thyrocalcitonin) regulates the blood calcium level.
  4. Maintenance of water and electrolytes balance is also influenced by thyroid hormone.
  5. Oxytocin causes milk ejection from mammary gland.

Select the correct statement:


Answer: (d)

Question : 8

Which of the following hormones affect $Ca^{2+}$ ion metabolism?


Answer: (c)

Question : 9

Match the source gland with its respective hormone as well as the function.

Source gland Hormone Function
(a) Posterior pituitary Vasopressin Stimulates reabsorption of water in the distal tubules in the nephron
(b) Corpus luteum Oestrogen Supports pregnancy
(c) Thyroid Thyroxine Regulated blood calcium level
(d) Anterior Oxytocin Contraction of uterus muscles during child birth


Answer: (a)

Question : 10

Steroid hormones transmit their information by


Answer: (d)

Question : 11

Releasing hormones and inhibiting hormones are produced by


Answer: (d)

Question : 12

A steroid hormone which regulates glucose metabolism is


Answer: (a)

Question : 13

Androgenic steroids are also secreted by adrenal cortex which causes


Answer: (d)

Question : 14

Glycosuria is the condition, where a man


Answer: (a)

Question : 15

Statement 1 :
Females have less stature than males after puberty.
Statement 2 :
This happens because of the presence of hCG in the blood of females


Answer: (c)

Males have more stature than females because of the action of male sex hormone-testosterone which is secreted by testis in males. Body starts secreting testosterone from the age of puberty. Its secretion is under the influence of Luteinizing Hormone (LH) of the anterior lobe of pituitary gland. Testosterone controls the development of secondary sexual characters in males like hoarseness of voice, development of facial hairs, bone growth, calcium retention, closing of epiphysial cartilage. The total quantity of bone matrix increases. The pelvic outlet is narrowed and lengthened. The strength of the pelvic bones increases to carry more loads. That is why males have more stature than females after puberty when this hormone is present in the blood.

hCG (Human Chorionic Gonadotropin) is the hormone secreted by human placenta during pregnancy. hCG enlarges the corpus luteum in the mother's ovary and stimulates it to secrete progesterone.

Question : 16

Which of the following is a common second messenger substance in hormone action ?


Answer: (c)

In many cases, hormones trigger cyclic AMP when they bind with the target cells. Cyclic AMP then carries out the action of the hormone within the cell as a second messenger.

Question : 17

Ovulation in humans is controlled by


Answer: (d)

Ovulation (release of graafian follicle from the ovary) is controlled by FSH and LH.

Question : 18

Given below is an incomplete table on hormones, their source glands and one major effect of each human body. Identify the option representing correct grouping of hormone its gland and effect.

GlandSecretionEffect on body
AEstrogenMaintenance of secondary sexual characters
Alpha cells of Langerhans BRaises blood sugar level
Anterior pituitaryCOver secretion leads to gigantism


Answer: (c)

The correct option for the three blanks A, B and C are ovary, glucagon and growth hormone respectively.

Question : 19

Listed below are the hormones of anterior pituitary origin. Tick the wrong entry


Answer: (c)

Question : 20

The hormones of posterior pituitary are oxytocin and vasopressin ; but later is better known as


Answer: (b)

Both are neuro hypophyseal hormones and ADH is the only other name for vasopressin.
