Given below is a table comparing the effects of sympathetic and parasympathetic nervous system for four feature (a-d). Which one feature is correctly described

  • Feature Sympathetic nervous system Parasympathetic nervous system
    Salivary glands Stimulate Secretion Inhibit Secretion
  • Pupil of the eye Dilate Constricts
  • Heart rate Decreases Increases
  • Intestinal peristalsis Stimulates Inhibits

Solution

B.

Pupil of the eye Dilate Constricts

Sympathetic and parasympathetic nervous system are the parts of autonomic nervous system. Autonomic nervous system is a part of peripheral  nervous system that supplies stimulation via motor nerves to the smooth and to cardiac muscles (the involuntary muscles) and to the glands of the body. The activity of the ANS is controlled principally by the medulla oblongata and hypothalamus of brain. Sympathetic and parasympathetic nervous system tend to work antagonistically on the same organ.

Question
CBSEENBI11025001

Which one of the following animals is correctly matched with its one characteristic and the taxon

  • Animal  Characteristic  Taxon
    Millipede  Ventral nerve cord  Arachnida
  • Duckbill platypus  Oviparous  Mammalia
  • Silverfish  Pectoral and pelvic fin  Chordata
  • Sea anemone  Triploblastic  Cnidaria

Solution

B.

Duckbill platypus  Oviparous  Mammalia

Millipede: Millipedes belongs to Phylum Arthropoda. Millipedes arc called thousand leggers because of possession of numerous legs. Inspite of this they move very slowly.

Duckbill platypus: It is an egg laying mammal of Phylum Chordata and Class Mammalia. 

Silverfish : Lepisma saccharina is commonly known as silver fish because of its glistening silvery white fish like body. It belongs to the insect Order Thysanura.

Sea anemone : Sea anemone (Admasia), belongs to Phylum Cnidaria shows commensalism. It is found attached to the empty shell of gastropods occupied by hermit crab. Its body wall is two layered i.e.. outer epidermis and inner gastrodermis. In between these two layers is present mesogloea.

All mammals without any exception are characterised by

  • viviparity and biconcave red blood cells 

  • extra-abdominal testes and a four chambered heart

  • heterodont teeth and 12 pairs of cranial nerves

  • a muscular diaphragm and milk producing glands.

Solution

D.

a muscular diaphragm and milk producing glands.

All mammals without any exception are characterized by a muscular diaphragm and milk producing glands.

Question
CBSEENBI11025003

Which one of the following pairs of the kind of cells and their secretion is correctly matched

  • Oxyntic cells  a secretion with pH between 2.0 and 3.0
  • Alpha cells of islets of Langerhans secretion that decreases blood sugar level
  • Kupffer cells a digestive enzyme that hydrolyses nucleic acids
  • Sebaceous glands a secretion that evaporates for cooling

Solution

D.

Sebaceous glands a secretion that evaporates for cooling

Oxyntic (or parietal) cell is present in the wall of the stomach that produce HCI which forms the part of gastric juice. Oxyntic cell also produce intrinsic factor which is involved in the absorption of vitamin B12 in the small intestine. The pH of gastric acid is 2-3 in the stomach of the lumen. The acidity being maintained by the proton pump, a H+/ K+ ATPase.

Alpha cell ofislets of langerhans secrete glucagon hormone which raises blood glucose level by stimulating liver to convert glycogen to glucose and by stimulating the conservation of fatty acids and amino acids to glucose.

Kupffer cells arc specialized macrophages that disposes of old blood cells and particulate matter. Kupffer cells, named after Karl Wilhem Von Kupffer, are found in the bloodstreams and in the liver, attached to the walls of the sinusoids.

Sebaceous gland is a simple or branched glands in the skin that secrete an oily substance, sebum which is fatty mildly antiseptic material that protects, lubricates, and waterproofs the skin and hair and help prevent dessication.

Question
CBSEENBI11025005

Examine the diagram of the two cell types A and B given below and select the correct option

     A                B

  • Cell A is the rod cell found evenly all over retina

  • Cell A is the cone cell more concentrated in the fovea central is

  • Cell B is concerned with colour vision in bright light

  • Cell A is sensitive to low light intensities

Solution

A.

Cell A is the rod cell found evenly all over retina

The retina contains two types of photoreceptors, rods and cones. The rods are more numerous, some 120 million, and are more sensitive than the cones. However, they are not sensitive to color. The 6 to 7 million cones provide the eye's color sensitivity and they are much more concentrated in the central yellow spot known as the macula. In the center of that region is the " fovea centralis", a 0.3 mm diameter rod-free area with very thin, densely packed cones.
