Which of the following is true about neural system
(1) It provides point to point rapid coordination among organs
(2) Coordination is fast and short lived
(3) Response is very quick in it
(4) All of the above
| 1. | Hormones are secreted into the blood stream and act over long distances at specific target organs. |
| 2. | Hormones are substances that almost always cause muscles to contract. |
| 3. | Hormones have no impact on the nervous or enteric systems. |
| 4. | Hormones are always derived from food and never synthesised. |
Which of the following is true about Endocrine glands
(1) Ductless glands
(2) Secretion is hormones
(3) Pour its secretion into lymph and venous blood
(4) All of these
| 1. | Nutrient chemicals produced by endocrine glands. |
| 2. | Non-nutrient chemicals that act as intercellular messengers produced in large amounts. |
| 3. | Non-nutrient chemicals that act as intercellular messengers produced in trace amounts. |
| 4. | Nutrient chemicals that regulate the body’s metabolism. |
The system which coordinate and regulate the physiological functions in the body is
(1) Nervous System and Excretory system
(2) Endocrine System and Circulatory system
(3) Nervous System and Endocrine System
(4) Excretory and Circulatory system
Which of the following is true about Endocrine system
(1) It is not directly connected with organs
(2) Response is slow
(3) coordinates through secretion of hormones
(4) All of the above
| 1. | Nutrient chemicals produced by endocrine glands in large amounts and transported through blood to nearby tissues |
| 2. | Non-nutrient chemicals which act as intercellular messengers and are produced in trace amounts |
| 3. | Protein molecules synthesized only by organized endocrine glands and secreted through ducts |
| 4. | Lipid-soluble substances that provide energy to cells and are produced in high concentrations |
| Assertion (A): | Although hormones are circulated by blood they act only on their target tissues. |
| Reason (R): | Hormones produce their effects on target tissues by binding to specific proteins called hormone receptors located in the target tissues only. |
| 1. | (A) is True; (R) is False. |
