These questions, you need to choose any one of the following four responses.

(c)If Assertion is true but Reason is false.

(d)If both Assertion and Reason are false.

15.Assertion: In the human eye, there are three types of rods which possess their own characteristic
photopigments that respond to red, green and blue lights.

Reason: The sensations of different colour are produced by various combinations of these rods and their
photopigments.

16.Assertion: When a neuron is not conducting any impulse, i.e. resting, the axoplasm inside the axon
contains high concentration of K+ and negatively charged proteins and low concentration of Nat.

Reason: In resting, the axonal membrane is comparatively more permeable to K+ ions and nearly
impermeable to Na+ ions. Similarly, the membrane is impermeable to negatively charged proteins present in
axoplasm

17.Assertion: Neurohypophysis is under the direct regulation of the hypothalamus.

Reason: Neurohypophysis stores and releases two hormones called oxytocin and vasopressin which are
actually synthesized by the hypothalamus

Reason: Vitreous humor contains a thin watery fluid.

Sec-D Case based studies (4×2=8)

1.Eyes are the organs of sight. They are located in sockets of skull called orbits. They are covered by three
walls layers. Extemal layer is called Sclera, it anterior portion forms cornea. Middle layer is choroid, in the
anterior part it becomes thick to form a ciliary body Cliary body continues.

Forward to form a pigmented structure called it’s the eyeball contains a crystalline biconvex lens, which is
held in place by the ligaments of the ciliary body. In front of the lens, the aperture surrounded by the iris is
called pupil The diameter of the pupil is regulated by the muscles of iris The innermost layer is the retina
which contains ganglion cells, bipolar cells and photoreceptor cells There are two types of photoreceptors,
namely rods and cones.

(a) Ligaments attached to the ciliary body

(v) A corneal transplant is never rejected in humans because

(a) It consists of enucleated cells

(b) It is a non-living layer
(c) It has no blood supply
(d) Its cells are least penetrable by bacteria
2.Malfunctioning of kidneys can lead to accumulation of urea in blood, a condition called uremia, which is
highly harmful and may lead to kidney failure. In such patients, urea can be removed by a process called
hemodialysis. During the process of haemodialysis, the blood drained from a convenient artery is pumped
into a dialysing unit called artificial kidney. Blood drained from a convenient artery is pumped into a dialysing
unit after adding an anticoagulant like heparin. The unit contains a coiled cellophane tube surrounded by a
fluid (dialysing fluid) having the same composition as that of plasma except the nitrogenous wastes. The
porous cellophane membrance of the tube allows the passage of molecules based on concentration gradient.
As nitrogenous wastes are absent in the dialysing fluid, these substances freely move out, thereby clearing
the blood. The cleared blood is pumped back to the body through a vein after adding anti-heparin to it. This
method is a boon for thousands of uremic patients all over the world.

Kidney transplantation is the ultimate method in the correction of acute renal failures (kidney failure). A
functioning kidney is used in transplantation from a donor, preferably a close relative, to minimise its chances
of rejection by the immune system of the host. Modern clinical procedures have increased the success rate
of such a complicated technique.

Renal calculi is Stone or insoluble mass of crystallised salts (oxalates, etc.) formed within the kidney.
Glomerulonephritis is Inflammation of glomeruli of kidney.

(I)During the process dialysis, when the cleared blood is pumped back to the body which of the following
factor is added to it
