EXTRA QUESTION
27. Define-Villi :-
The ileal mucosa has numerous vascular projections called villi which are involved in the process of
absorption.
the cells lining the villi produce numerous microscopic projections called microvilli giving a brush
border appearance that increase the surface area enormously.
35. Constipation:-
In this condition, the faeces are retained within the rectum because of irregular bowel movement due to
poor intake of fibre in the diet and lack of physical activities.
36. Vomiting:-
It is reverse peristalsis. Harmful substances and contaminated food from stomach are ejected through
the mouth.
This action is controlled by the vomit centre located in the medulla oblongata. A feeling of nausea
precedes vomiting.
37. Jaundice:-

18) Name the enzyme that catalyses the bicarbonate formation in RBCs.
Ans : Carbonic anhydrase.
19) Air moving from the nose to the trachea passes through a number of structures. List in order of the
structure.
External nostrils nasal cavity pharynx larynx trachea bronchi bronchioles lungs.
21) Resistance in the airways is typically low. why ? Give two reasons. ?
Bronchi have „C‟ shaped curved cartilage plates to ensure that the air passage does not collapse or burst as
the air pressure changes during breathing.
The bronchioles are without cartilaginous rings and have rigidity that prevent them from collapsing but are
surrounded by smooth muscle which contracts or relaxes to adjust the diameter of these airways.
24) Diffusion of gases occur in the aveolar region only and not in any other part of the respiratory system.
Discuss.
3) Respiratory volumes:-
1. Tidal Volume (TV) –
Tidal volume is the amount of air inspired or expired with each normal breath.
It is approximately 500 mL., i.e. a normal human adult can inspire or expire approximately
6000 to 8000mL of air per minute.
During vigorous exercise, the tidal volume is about 4–10 times higher.
4) Dead space :-
Some of the inspired air never reaches the gas exchange areas but fills the respiratory passages where
exchange of gases does not occur.
This air is called dead space. Dead space is not involved in gaseous exchange. It amounts to
approximately 150mL.
7) Asthma :–
It is characterized by narrowing and inflammation of bronchi and bronchioles and difficulty in breathing.
Common allergens for asthma are dust, drugs, pollen grains, certain food items like fish, prawn and certain
fruits etc.
8) Emphysema :–
Emphysema is chronic breathlessness caused by gradual breakdown of the thin walls of the alveoli
decreasing the total surface area of a gaseous exchange. i.e., widening of the alveoli is called emphysema.
The major cause for this disease is cigarette smoking, which reduces the respiratory surface of the alveolar
walls.
9) Bronchitis :–
The bronchi when it gets inflated due to pollution smoke and cigarette smoking, causes bronchitis.
The symptoms are cough, shortness of breath and sputum in the lungs.
10) Pneumonia :–
Inflammation of the lungs due to infection caused by bacteria or virus is called pneumonia.
The common symptoms are sputum production, nasal congestion, shortness of breath, sore throat, etc.
11) Tuberculosis :–
Tuberculosis is caused by Mycobacterium tuberculae.
This infection mainly occurs in the lungs and bones.
Collection of fluid between the lungs and the chest wall is the main complication of this disease
19. Right ventricular wall is thinner than the left ventricular wall. Why?
The Left ventricle pumps blood into the aorta, which distributes pure blood to all parts of body.
But Right ventricle pumps blood into the pulmonary artery which carry blood to the lungs only.
So the wall of the right ventricular thinner than the left vetricular wall.
20. What might be the effect on a person whose diet has less iron content?
The red colour respiratory pigment haemoglobin is made of Iron.
The insufficient of iron diet, it leeds to less supply of oxygen in the tissues .
It causes the Anaemic diseases.
23. What are the heart sounds? When and how are these sounds produced?
HEART BEAT- Rhythmic contraction and expansion of heart is called heart beat.
The contraction of the heart is called systole and the relaxation of the heart is called diastole.
The heart normally beats 70-72 times per min in a human adult.
During each cardiac cycle 2 sounds are produced that can be heard through a stethoscope.
1. Lub - is associated with the closure of the tricuspid and bicuspid valves.
2. Dub - is associated with the closure of the semilunar valves.

24. Select the correct biological term. -
Lymphocytes,red cells,leucocytes, plasma,erythrocytes,white cells,
haemoglobin,phagocyte, platelets, blood clot.
A - Aortic arch
E – Left Ventricle
F – Right Ventricle.
4. Platelets / Thrombocytes:-
They are also called that are produced from megakaryocytes (special cells in bone marrow) and lack nuclei.
Blood normally contains 1, 50,000 -3, 50,000 platelets mm-3 of blood.
They secrete substances involved in coagulation or clotting of blood.
The reduction in platelet number can lead to clotting disorders.
7. Blood pressure :-
It is the pressure exerted on the surface of blood vessels by the blood.
This pressure circulates the blood through arteries, veins and capillaries.
There are two types of pressure, the systolic pressure and the diastolic pressure.
Systolic pressure is the pressure in the arteries as the chambers of the heart contracts.
Diastolic pressure is the pressure in the arteries when the heart chambers relax.
Blood pressure is measured using a sphygmomanometer (BP apparatus).
Normal blood pressure in man is about 120/80mm Hg.
8. Electrocardiogram (ECG) :-
It records the changes in electrical potential across the heart during one cardiac cycle.
The special flap of muscle which initiates the heart beat is called as sinu-auricular node or SA node in the
right atrium. It spreads as a wave of contraction in the heart.
Thewaves of the ECG are due to depolarization and not due to contraction of the heart.
This wave of depolarisation occurs before the beginning of contraction of the cardiac muscle.
A normal ECG shows 3 waves designated as P wave, QRS complex and T wave .
1. P Wave (atrial depolarisation)- It is a small upward wave and indicates the depolarisation of the atria. This
is the time taken for the excitation to spread through atria from SA node. Contraction of both atria lasts for
around 0.8-1.0 sec.
2. PQ Interval (AV node delay) - It is the onset of P wave to the onset of QRS complex. This is from the start of
depolarisation of the atria to the beginning of ventricular depolarisation. It is the time taken for the impulse to
travel from the atria to the ventricles (0.12-0.21sec). It is the measure of AV conduction time.
3. QRS Complex (ventricular depolarisation)- Atrial depolarisation occurs simultaneously with the ventricular
depolarisation. The normal QRS complex lasts for 0.06-0.09 sec. QRS complex is shorter than the P wave,
because depolarisation spreads through the Purkinjie fibres.
4. ST Segment - It lies between the QRS complex and T wave. It is the time during which all regions of the
ventricles are completely depolarised . The ST segment lasts for 0.09 sec.
5. T wave (ventricular depolarisation)- It represents ventricular depolarisation. The duration of the T wave is
longer than QRS complex because repolarisation takes place simultaneously throughout the ventricular
depolarisation.
9. Double circulation :-
Circulation of the blood was first described by William Harvey (1628). There are 2 types of blood circulation.
The blood circulates twice through the heart first on the right side then on the left side to complete one cardiac
cycle.
The complete double blood circulation is more prominent in mammals because of the complete partition of all
the chambers(Auricles and ventricles) in the heart.
In systemic circulation - the oxygenated blood entering the aorta from the left ventricle is carried by a network
of arteries, arterioles and capillaries to the tissues.The deoxygenated blood from the tissue is collected by
venules, veins and vena cava and emptied into the right atrium.
In pulmonary circulation - the blood from heart (right ventricle) is taken to the lungs by pulmonary artery and
the oxygenated blood from the lungs is emptied into the left auricle by the pulmonary vein.
Completely separated circuits have an important advantage. Different pressures are maintained in the
pulmonary and systemic circulation.
12. Stroke :-
π It is a condition when the blood vessels in the brain bursts, (Brain haemorrhage) or when there is a block in
the artery that supplies the brain, (atherosclerosis) or thrombus.
π The part of the brain tissue that is supplied by this damaged artery dies due to lack of oxygen.
14. Varicose veins :- The veins are so dilated that the valves prevent back flow of blood. The veins lose their
elasticity and congested. Common sites are legs, rectal-anal regions (haemorrhoids), the oesophagus and the
spermatic cord.
15. Embolism:-
It is the obstruction of the bloodvessel by abnormal mass of materials such as fragment of the blood clot,
bone fragment or an air bubble.
Embolus may lodge in the lungs, coronary artery or liver and leads to death.
16. Aneurysm:-
The weakened regions of the wall of the artery or veins bulges to form a balloon like sac.
Unruptured aneurysm may exert pressure on the adjacent tissues / may burst causing massive haemorrhage.

Answer :-
1) Afferent arteriole
2) Glomerulus
3) Bowman‟s capsule
4) Proximal tubule
5) Loop of Henle
6) Distal tubule
7) Collecting duct
8) Renal pelvis
2. Name the three filtration barriers that solutes must come across as they move from plasma to the lumen of
Bowman‟s capsule. What components of the blood are usually excluded by these layers?
1) Glomerular capillary endothelium – Prevents the blood cells.
2) Basal lamina – Glycoproteins, plasma proteins.
3) Epithelium of bowman‟s capsule.
3. What forces promote glomerular filtration? What forces opposes them? What is meant by net filtration pressure?
Net filtration Pressure = Glomerular hydrostatic pressure - (Colloidal osmotic pressure + Capsular
hydrostatic pressure).
Net filtration pressure = 55 mmHg - (30 mmHg + 15 mmHg) = 10mmHg
The effective glomerular pressure of 10 mmHg results in ultrafiltration.
4. Identify the following structures and explain their significance in renal physiology?
a. Juxtaglomerular apparatus –
The ascending limb of Henle returns to the glomerular region of its own nephron, where it passes
through the fork formed by the afferent and efferent arterioles.
Both the tubular and vascular cells at this point are specialized to form juxta glomerular apparatus that
lie next to the glomerulus.
b. Podocytes - The glomerular membrane consists of octopus like cells called podocytes that entangles the
glomerular tuft. Each podocyte bears many foot processes.
6. When a molecule or ion is reabsorbed from the lumen of the nephron, where does it go? If a solute is filtered
and not reabsorbed from the tubule, where does it go?
i. When a molecule or ion is reabsorbed from the lumen of the nephron, it goes out of – Efferent arteriole.
ii. If a solute is filtered and not reabsorbed from the tubule, it finally reach the collecting duct to be sent out
as waste in the form of urine.
7. Match each of the Match each of the following substances with its mode of transportation in proximal tubular
reabsorption. Answer :-
a. Na+ - primary active transport
b. Glucose - simple diffusion
c. Urea - paracellular movement
d. Plasma - facilitated diffusion
e. proteins - endocytosis
f. Water - paracellular movement
8. Which segment is the site of secretion and regulated reabsorption of ions and pH
homeostasis?
The distal convoluted tubule recovers water and secretes potassium into the tubule.
Na+ , Cl - and water remains in the filtrate of the DCT.
Most of the reabsorption from this point is dependent on the body‟s need and is regulated by hormones.
-
Reabsorption of bicarbonate ( HCO3 ) takes place to regulate the blood pH.
-
Homeostasis of K+ and Na in the blood is also regulated in this region.
12. If the afferent arteriole of the nephron constricts, what happens to the GFR in that nephron? If the efferent
arteriole constricts what happens to the GFR in that nephron? Assume that no auto regulation takes place.
i. If the afferent arteriole of the nephron constricts, what happens to the GFR in that nephron.
- Decrease in GFR.
ii. If the efferent arteriole constricts what happens to the GFR in that nephron – Increase in GFR.
28. With regards to toxicity and the need for dilution in water, how different are ureotelic and uricotelic
excretions? Give examples of animals that use these types of excretion?
Uricoteles Ureoteles
Reptiles, birds, land snails and insects In terrestrial animals, less toxic urea anduric acid are produced
excrete uric acid crystals, with a minimum to conserve water. Mammals and terrestrial amphibians
loss of water and are called uricoteles. mainly excrete urea and are called ureoteles.
33. What vessels carry blood to the kidneys? Is this blood arterial or venous?
i. The vessels carry blood to the kidneys is – Renal artery.
ii. The blood carry to the kidneys is - Arterial blood.
35. What is tubular secretion? Name the substances secreted through the renal tubules ?
+ + +
Substances such as H , K , NH4 , creatinine and organic acids move into the filtrate from the peritubular
capillaries into the tubular fluid.
+
Most of the water is absorbed in the proximal convoluted tubule and Na is exchanged for water in the
loop of Henle.
Hypotonic fluid enters the distal convoluted tubule and substances such as urea and salts pass from
peritubular blood into the cells of DCT.
The urine excreted contains both filtered and secreted substances. Once it enters the collecting duct, water
is absorbed and concentrated hypertonic urine is formed.
+ + +
For every H secreted into the tubular filtrate, a Na is absorbed by the tubular cell. The H secreted
+ - - + +
combines with HCO3 , HPO3 and NH3 and gets fixed as H2CO4 , H2PO4 and NH4 respectively.
+ +
Since H gets fixed in the fluid, reabsorption of H is prevented.
36. How are the kidneys involved in controlling blood volume? How is the volume of blood in the body related
to arterial pressure?
Juxta glomerular apparatus (JGA) is a specialized tissue in the afferent arteriole of the nephron that
consists of macula densa and granular cells.
The macula densa cells sense distal tubular flow and affect afferent arteriole diameter, whereas the
granular cells secrete an enzyme called renin.
A fall in glomerular blood flow, glomerular blood pressure and glomerular filtration rate, can atctivate JG
cells to release renin which converts a plasma protein, angiotensinogen (synthesized in the liver) to
angiotensin I.
Angiotensin converting enzyme (ACH) converts angiotensin I to angiotensin II.
+
Angiotensin II stimulates Na reabsorption in the proximal convoluted tubule by vasoconstriction of the
blood vessels and increases the glomerular blood pressure.
Angiotensin II acts at different sites such as heart, kidney, brain, adrenal cortex and blood vessels.
+ +
It stimulates adrenal cortex to secrete aldosterone that causes reabsorption of Na , K excretion and
absorption of water from the distal convoluted tubule and collecting duct.
This increases the glomerular blood pressure and glomerular filtration rate.
This complex mechanism is generally known as Renin- Angiotensin- Aldosterone System (RAAS).
37. Name the three main hormones are involved in the regulation of the renal function?
1) ADH – Antidiuretic hormone.

38. What is the function of antidiuretic hormone? Where is it produced and what stimuli increases or decreases
its secretion?
when there is an increase in the blood pressure, the osmoreceptors of the hypothalamus respond by
stimulating the neurohypophysis to secrete the antidiuretic hormone (ADH) or vasopressin (a positive
feedback).
ADH facilitates reabsorption of water by increasing the number of aquaporins on the cell surface
membrane of the distalmconvoluted tubule and collecting duct.
This increase in aquaporins causes the movement of water from the lumen into the interstitial cells,
thereby preventing excess loss of water by diuresis.
When you drink excess amounts of your favourite juice, osmoreceptors of the hypothalamus is no longer
stimulated and the release of ADH is suppressed from the neurohypophysis (negative feedback) and the
aquaporins of the collecting ducts move into the cytoplasm.
Vasopressin secretion is controlled by positive and negative feedback mechanism.

1. Ammonoteles :-
Animals that excrete most of its nitrogen in the form of ammonia are called ammonoteles.
Many fishes, aquatic amphibians and aquatic insects are ammonotelic.
In bony fishes, ammonia diffuses out across the body surface or through gill surface as ammonium ions.
2. Structure of kidney :-
Excretory system in human consists of a pair of kidneys, a pair of ureters, urinary bladder and urethra
Kidneys are reddish brown, bean shaped structures, that lie in the superior lumbar region.
The right kidney is placed slightly lower than the left kidney. Each kidney weighs is120-170 grams.
The outer layer of the kidney is covered by cortex, inner medulla and pelvis.
The medulla is divided into a few conical tissue masses called medullary pyramids or renal pyramids.
The part of cortex that extends in between the medullary pyramids is the renal columns of Bertini.
The centre of the inner concave surface of the kidney has a notch called the renal hilum, through which
ureter, blood vessels and nerves innervate.
Inner to the hilum is a broad funnel shaped space called the renal pelvis with projection called calyces.
The renal pelvis is continuous with the ureter once it leaves the hilum.
The walls of the calyces, pelvis and ureter have smooth muscles which contracts rhythmically.
The calyces collect the urine and empties into the ureter, which is stored in the urinary bladder temporarily.
The urinary bladder opens into the urethra through which urine is expelled out.
Nephron is the structural and functional unit of kidneys. Each kidney has nearly one million complex
tubular structures called nephron.
Each nephron consists of a filtering corpuscle called renal corpuscle (malpighian body) and a renal tubule.
The renal tubule opens into a longer tubule called the collecting duct.
The renal tubule begins with a double walled cup shaped structure called the Bowman‟s capsule, which
encloses a ball of capillaries that delivers fluid to the tubules, called the glomerulus.
The Bowman‟s capsule and the glomerulus together constitute the renal corpuscle.
The endothelium of glomerulus has many pores (fenestrae). The external parietal layer of the Bowman's
capsule is made up of simple squamous epithelium and the visceral layer is made of epithelial cells called
podocytes.
The podocytes end in foot processes which cling to the basement membrane of the glomerulus. The
openings between the foot processes are called filtration slits.
The renal tubule continues further to form the proximal convoluted tubule [PCT] followed by a U-shaped
loop of Henle (Henle‟s loop) that has a thin descending and a thick ascending limb.
The ascending limb continues as a highly coiled tubular region called the distal convoluted tubule [DCT].
The DCT of many nephrons open into a straight tube called collecting duct.
The collecting duct runs through the medullary pyramids in the region of the pelvis. Several collecting
ducts fuse to form papillary duct that delivers urine into the calyces, which opens into the renal pelvis.
5. Haemodialysis :-
Malfunctiong of the kidneys can lead to accumalation of urea and other toxic substances, leading to kidney
failure.
In such patients toxic urea can be removed from the blood by a process called haemodialysis.
A dialyzing machine or an artificial kidney is connected to the patient‟s body.
A dialyzing machine consists of a long cellulose tube surrounded by the dialysing fluid in a water bath.
The patient‟s blood is drawn from a conveinent artery and pumped into the dialysing unit after adding an
anticoagulant like heparin.
The tiny pores in the dialysis tube allows small molecules such as glucose, salts and urea to enter into the
water bath, whereas blood cells and protein molecules do not enter these pores. This stage is similar to the
filtration process in the glomerulus.
The dialysing liquid in the water bath consists of solution of salt and sugar in correct proportion in order to
prevent loss of glucose and essential salts from the blood. The cleared blood is then pumped back to the
body through a vein.
6. Kidney Transplantation :-
It is the ultimate method for correction of a acute renal failures.
This involves transfer of healthy kidney from one person (donor) to another person with kidney failure.
The donated kidney may be taken from a healthy person who is declared brain dead or from sibling or
close relatives to minimise the chances of rejection by the immune system of the host.
Immunosuppressive drugs are usually administered to the patient to avoid tissue rejection.
7. Uremia :–
Uremia is characterized by increase in urea and other non-protein nitrogenous substances like uric acid
and creatinine in blood .
Normal urea level in human blood is about 17-30mg/100mL of blood.
The urea concentration rises as 10 times of normal levels during chronic renal failure.
8. Renal calculi :-
Renal calculi, also called renal stone or kidney stone or nephrolithiasis, is the formation of hard stone like
masses in the renal tubules of renal pelvis.
It is mainly due to the accumulation of soluble crystals of salts of sodium oxalates and certain phosphates.
This result in severe pain called “renal colic pain” and can cause scars in the kidneys.
Renal stones can be removed by techniques like pyleothotomy or lithotripsy.
9. Glomerulonephritis :-
It is also called Bright‟s disease and is characterized by inflammation of the glomeruli of both kidneys and
is usually due to post-streptococcal infection that occurs in children. Symptoms are haematuria, proteinuria,
salt and water retention, oligouria, hypertension and pulmonary oedema.
32. What are the different types of rib bones that form the rib cage ?
1) True ribs‟ / vertebro–sternal ribs – The first 7 pairs of ribs.
2) False ribs‟ / vertebro-chondral ribs - The 8, 9 and 10th pairs of ribs do not articulate directly with the
sternum but joined with the cartilaginous (hyaline cartilage) part of the seventh rib.
3) Floating ribs‟ / vertebral ribs - The last 11th and 12th pairs of ribs are not connected ventrally.
33. What are the bones that make the pelvic girdle?
The pelvic girdle is a heavy structure specialized for weight bearing.
It is composed of two hip bones called Coxal bones that secure the lower limbs.
Each Coxal bone consists of three fused bones, ilium, ischium and pubis.
A deep hemispherical socket called the acetabulum is present on the lateral surface of the pelvis. It
receives the head of the femur.
Ventrally the two halves of the pelvic girdle meet and form the pubic symphysis containing fibrous
cartilage.
The ilium is the superior flaring portion of the hip bone. Each ilium forms a secure joint with the sacrum
posteriorly.
The ischium is a curved bar of bone. The V-shaped pubic bones articulate anteriorly at the pubic
symphysis.

receptor involved with a diagram.
The sense of taste is considered to be the most pleasurable of all senses.
The tongue is provided with many small projections called papillae which give the tongue an abrasive
feel.
Taste buds are located mainly on the papillae which are scattered over the entire tongue surface.
Most taste buds are seen on the tongue few are scattered on the soft palate, inner surface of the cheeks,
pharynx and epiglottis of the larynx.
Taste buds are flask-shaped and consist of 50 – 100 epithelial cells of two major types. Gustatory
epithelial cells (taste cells) and Basal epithelial cells (Repairing cells).
Long microvilli called gustatory hairs project from the tip of the gustatory cells and extends through a
taste pore to the surface of the epithelium where they are bathed by saliva.
Gustatory hairs are the sensitive portion of the gustatory cells and they have sensory dendrites which send
the signal to the brain.
The basal cells that act as stem cells, divide and differentiate into new gustatory cells

2) Hypothalamus :-
It is a small cone shaped structure, that projects downward from the brain ending into the pituitary stalk.
It interlinks both the nervous system and endocrine system.
The master endocrine Pituitary gland is controlled by the hypothalamus.
Hypothalamus contains groups of neurosecretory cells. It produces neurotransmitters which regulate the
secretions of the pituitary.
The hormones produced by the hypothalamus act either as a releasing hormone or as an inhibitory
hormone.
Hypothalamus maintains homeostasis, blood pressure, body temperature, cardio and fluid electrolyte
balance of the body. As the part of limbic system it influences various emotional responses.
4) Hormones of neurohypophysis
i) Vasopressin or antidiuretic hormone (ADH) :
ADH is a peptide hormone which promotes reabsorption of water and electrolytes by distal tubules of
nephron and thereby reduces loss of water through urine.
Hence it is called as anti diuretic hormone. It also causes constriction of blood vessels when released in
large amount and increases blood pressure.
ADH deficiency causes Diabetes insipidus which induces the production of large amount of urine.
ii) Oxytocin (means quick birth):-
