There are very fine hair and wax-secreting glands in the skin of pinna and the meatus, ‘Answer (3) Hint: Membranous labyrinth -Endolymph Sol.: The bony labyrinth is a series of channels. ‘The space within the cochlea called scala media is filled with endolymph. The membranes constituting cochlea, the Reissner's and basilar, divide the 176. 17 178. 179. 180. CUTE Piece surrounding perilymph filed bony labyrinth into an upper scala vestiouli and a lower scala tympani ‘Answer (2) Hint: Equals to the number of days in a week Sol: Anatomically, the ear can be divided into three major sections called the outer ear, the middle ear and the inner ear. The fluid-filled inner ear called labyrinth, consists of two parts ie, the bony and the membranous labyrinth, The vestibular apparatus is composed of three semi-circular canals and the otolith (macula is the sensory part of saccule and utc). The swollen base of semi-circular canal is called ampulla, which contains a projecting ridge called crista ampullaris which has hair cells. It acts as the sensory receptor for sensing the change in the positions of head or body. Answer (2) Hint: impulses are transmitted by the afferent fibres via auditory nerves. Sol: Visual nerve impulses are transmitted by the optic nerves to the visual cortex area. Olfactory bulbs are the extensions of the brain's limbic system. Organ of Corti is a structure located on the basilar membrane and is involved in hearing mechanism. Answer (2) Hint: Ear converts sound waves impulses. Sol: Direction of sound waves during mechanism of hearing:- Ear drum » Oval window -> Cochlear fluids -> Basilar membrane —> Auditory nerve The impulses are transmitted by the afferent fibres Via auditory nerves to the auditory cortex of the brain. The Eustachian tube connects the middle ear cavity with the pharynx, which helps in equalising the pressures on either sides of the ear drum. Answer (4) Hint: Involved in hearing and balancing Sol: The fluid-filled inner ear is called the labyrinth, and the colled portion of the labyrinth is called cochlea. The membranes constituting cochlea ie., the Reissner’s and basilar, divide the surrounding perilymph-fled bony labyrinth into an Upper scala vestibull and a lower scala tympani into neural > Ear ossicles Corporate Office: Aakash Tower, 8, Pusa Road, New Delhi-110005. Phone: 011-47623456Rec eee 181. Answer (2) Hint: Ear ossicles are in middle ear. Sol.: The inner ear contains a complex system called vestibular apparatus, located above the cochlea. The vestibular apparatus is composed of three semi-circular canals and the otolith The middle ear contains three ossicles called malleus, incus and stapes which increase the efficiency of transmission of sound waves to the inner ear, 182. Answer (2) Hint: Twilight vision Sol.: The day light (photopic) vision and colour vision are functions of cones and the twilight (scotopic) vision is the function of the rods. In the human eye, there are three types of cones which possess their own characteristic photopigments that respond to red, green and blue lights. 183. Answer (1) Hint: Thinned out portion of the retina, Sol.: The space between the ‘© Comea and the lens ~ Aqueous chamber ‘© Lens and retina — Vitreous chamber Fovea is the central pit present on macilla lutea. It is the thinned out portion of retina where only cones are densely packed, ‘Answer (2) Hint: Highly vascular layer of the eyeball Sol.: Photoreceptor cells are not present in blind spot. The external layer is composed of a dense connective tissue and is called the sclera. The anterior portion of this layer is called the comea. The middle layer, choroid, contains many blood vessels and looks bluish in colour. Answer (3) Hint: Pars nervosa is also known as posterior pituitary. Sol.: Pars nervosa (neurohypophysis) stores and releases two hormones called oxytocin and vasopressin, which are actually synthesized within the hypothalamus. GnRH from hypothalamus stimulates the release of gonadotrophins (LH and FSH) from anterior pituitary. Pars intermedia secretes MSH. SECTION -B 184, 186. 186, Answer (1) Hint: Identify the function of oxytocin 187 188. 189. 190. ocr To Sol.: Oxytocin stimulates the contraction of smooth muscles of the uterus. Thymosins play a major role in the differentiation of T lymphocytes. Thyroxine plays an important role in the regulation of the BMR. ‘These hormones also support the process of RBC formation, controlling the metabolism of carbohydrates, proteins and fats. Answer (2) Hint: Erythropoiesis, Sol.: CCK acts on both pancreas and gall bladder, ANF decreases blood pressure and both adrenaline and nor-adrenaline are collectively known as catecholamines, Answer (4) Hint: Cones are responsible for photopic vision. Sol: The day light (photopic) vision and colour vision are funetions of cones and the twilight (scotopic) vision is the function of the rods, In the human eye, there are three types of cones which possess. their own characteristic photopigments that respond to red, green and blue lights. Answer (4) Hint: Image formation is the last step ‘Sol.: The light rays in visible wavelength focussed ‘on the retina through the comea and lens generate potentials (impulses) in rods and cones. The Photosensitive compound (photopigment) in the human eye is composed of opsin (a protein) and retinal (an aldehyde of vitamin A). Light induces dissociation of the retinal from opsin resulting in changes in the structure of the opsin, This causes membrane permeability changes. As a result, potential differences are generated inthe photoreceptor cells. This produces a signal that generates action potentials in the ganglion cells, through the bipolar cells. These action potentials (impulses) are transmitted by the optic nerves to the visual cortex area of the brain, where the neural impulses are analysed and the image formed on the retina is recognised based on earlier memory and experience, Answer (4) Hint: ANF is atrial natriuretic factor Sol.: GIP inhibits gastric secretion and motility and is secreted by endocrine cells present in gastro- intestinal tract, Corporate Office: Aakash Tower, 8, Pusa Road, New Delhi-110005, Phone: 011-47623456,ieee 191. 192, 193, 194. 196. 196. (Hints & Solutions) ‘Answer (2) Hint: Hormone secreted by testis, Sol. () Peptide, polypeptide, protein hormones (e.., insulin, glucagon, pituitary hormones, hypothalamic hormones, etc.) (i) Steroids (e.g, cortisol, testosterone, estradiol! and progesterone) (i) lodothyronines (thyroid hormones) (iv) Amino-acid derivatives (0.g., epinephrine). ‘Answer (2) Hint: Stored in sarcoplasmic reticulum Sol: Target tissue metabolism and hence physiological functions are regulated by hormones. Secondary messengers like cAMP, IPs and Ca® in turn regulate cellular metabolism. Answer (3) Hint: Identify steroid hormones Sol.: The receptors present inside the target cel are called intracellular receptors. Steroid hormones and fodothyronines interact with intracellular receptors. Cortisol and androgens are steroid hormones. ‘Answer (3) Hint: Diabetes insipidus Sol: Oxytocin and vasopressin are actually synthesized by hypothalamus. Hyposecretion of insulin causes diabetes melitus Answer (2) Hint: Hypothyroidism Sol: Over secretion of GH stimulates abnormal growth of the body leading to gigantism. Hypothyroidism during pregnancy causes defective development and maturation of the growing baby leading to stunted growth (cretinism). Deficiency of iodine in our diet results in hypothyroidism and enlargement of the thyroid gland, commonly called goitre ‘Answer (2) Hint: Glycogenesis Sol.: The cells of islets of Langerhans produce insulin, Insulin stimulates conversion of glucose to aoa 197. 198. 199, 200, Alll India Aakash Test Series for NEET-2024 glycogen and is antagonistic to glucagon. Glucagon acts mainly on the liver cells and stimulates glycogenolysis resulting in an increased blood sugar (hyperglycemia). Answer (3) Hint: Related to light adaptation Sol.: When we move from the dark into bright light, both rods and cones are stimulated and large amount of the photopigments are broken down instantaneously, producing a flood of signals resulting in the glare. Dark adaptation occurs when we move to dark Answer (1) Hint: Regulate expression of emotional reactions Sol.: Olfactory bulbs are a pair of broad bean-sized organs, which are extensions of the limbic system in the brain, Medulla oblongata and cerebellum are the parts of hindbrain, Pons consists of fibre tracts that interconnect different regions of the brain.
