Photosensitive compound in human eye is made up of
1. opsin and Retinal
2. opsin and Retinol
3. transducin and Retinene
4. guanosine and Retinol
Destruction of the anterior horn cells of the spinal cord would result in loss of
(1) sensory impulses
(2) voluntary motor impulses
(3) commissural impulses
(4) integrating impulses
In mammalian eye, the 'fovea' is the center of the visual field, where
1. high density of cones occur, but has no rods
2. the optic nerve leaves the eye
3. only rods are present
4. more rods than cones are found
Stimulation of a muscle fibre by a motor neuron occurs at
1. the neuromuscular junction
2. the transverse tubules
3. the myofibril
4. the sacroplasmic reticulum
Injury localised to the hypothalams would most likely disrupt
1. short term memory
2. coordination during locomotion
3. executive function, such as decision making
4. regulation of body temperature
Which one of the following statements is not correct?
1. Retinal is the light absorbing portion of visual photopigments
2. In retina the rods have the photopigment rhodopsin, while cones have three different
photopigments
3. Retinal is a derivative of vitamin-C
4. Rhodopsin is the purplish red protein present in rods only
A diagram showing axon terminal and synapse is given. Identify correctly A-D.
1. A- Receptor C-synaptic Vesicles
2. B-Synaptic connection D-K+
3. A-Neurotransmitter B-Synaptic cleft
4. C-neurotransmitter D-Ca2+
Parts A, B, C and D of the human eyes are shown in the diagram. Select the option
which gives correct identification along with its functions/characteristics
1. A-retina-contains photoreceptors-rods and cones
2. B-blind spot-has only a few rods and cones
3. C-aqueous chamber-reflects the light which does not pass through the lens
4. D-choroidits anterior part forms ciliary body
Which part of the human ear plays no role in hearing as such but is otherwise very much
required?
1. Eustachian tube
2. Organ of Corti
3. Vestibular apparatus
4. Ear ossicles
A person entering an empty room suddenly finds a snake right in front on opening the
door. Which one of the following is likely to happen in his neurohormonal control system?
1. Sympathetic nervous system is activated releasing epinephrine and norepinephrine
from adrenal medulla
2. Neurotransmitters diffuse rapidly across the cleft and transmit a nerve impulse
3. Hypothalamus activates the parasympathetic division of brain
4. Sympathetic nervous system is activated releasing epinephrine and norepinephrine
from adrenal cortex
