9. Mechanism of Transcutaneous electrical
stimulation (TENS) for pain management of pain:
A. Inhibitory neurotransmitter at spinal cord
B. Adrenergic receptor stimulation
C. Gating at spinal cord
D. Supraspinal
control Ans: C
Modulation of gate-control mechanism of pain serves
as the rationale behind the use of transcutaneous
electrical nerve stimulation (TENS) for pain relief.
This method uses electrodes to activate Aα and Aβ Ans: B
fibers near the injury.
The fetal hemoglobin (hemoglobin F) is composed of
α2γ2 [above graph, Chain A: α; Chain B: γ]
In young embryos there are, in addition, ζ and ε chains
10. In physiology viva, examiner asked to student [Chain D in above graph], forming Gower 1
“who recorded first human EEG?. Student hemoglobin (ζ2ε2) and Gower 2 hemoglobin (α2ε2).
responded ‘I don't know’. Examiner felt bad and
decide to give him a hint, “the name rhymes
with what you get at McDonald’s” Then the
student gave the right answer. Here, the student
uses which type of memory:
A. Priming
B. Reflex
C. Associated learning
D. Declarative memory
Ans: Priming
Priming is the facilitation of the recognition of words
or objects by prior exposure to them and is dependent
on the neocortex. Students answer “Hans Berger
recorded the first human EEGs in 1924!!!”.
