All is true about trochlear nerve except:
- A.
Longest intracranial course
- B.
Arise from dorsal aspect
- C.
Supplies ipsilateral superior oblique
- D.
Arises from out side the common tendinous ring
Correct Answer
C. Supplies ipsilateral superior obliqueExplanation
The trochlear nerve is the only cranial nerve that arises from the dorsal aspect of the brainstem, making the statement "Arise from dorsal aspect" true. It also has the longest intracranial course among all the cranial nerves. Additionally, it supplies the contralateral superior oblique muscle, not the ipsilateral one. Therefore, the statement "Supplies ipsilateral superior oblique" is false. Lastly, the trochlear nerve does arise from outside the common tendinous ring, which is a true statement.Rate this question:

Diastolic pressure in aorta is maintained by:
- A.
Elastic recoil of aorta
- B.
Muscular artery
- C.
Resistance in arterioles
- D.
Capillaries
Correct Answer
A. Elastic recoil of aortaExplanation
The correct answer is the elastic recoil of the aorta. The aorta is a large, elastic artery that receives blood from the heart during systole and stretches to accommodate the volume of blood. During diastole, when the heart is at rest, the elastic fibers in the aorta recoil, helping to maintain the pressure in the aorta and ensuring continuous blood flow to the rest of the body. This elastic recoil prevents a sudden drop in pressure and helps to maintain a steady flow of blood throughout the cardiac cycle.Rate this question:

Central chemoreceptors are most sensitive to:
- A.
Increase in CO2 tension
- B.
Decrease in CO2tension
- C.
Low O2 tension
- D.
Increase in H+
Correct Answer
A. Increase in CO2 tensionExplanation
Central chemoreceptors are specialized cells located in the brain that are responsible for monitoring the levels of certain gases in the blood, including carbon dioxide (CO2). These chemoreceptors are most sensitive to an increase in CO2 tension. When CO2 levels in the blood rise, it leads to an increase in carbonic acid, which then increases the concentration of hydrogen ions (H+) in the blood. This change in pH is detected by the central chemoreceptors, triggering a response to increase ventilation and remove excess CO2 from the body. Therefore, an increase in CO2 tension is the most significant stimulus for the central chemoreceptors.Rate this question:

- A.
Hormones
- B.
Gap junctions
- C.
G-protein receptors
- D.
Neurotransmitters released at the synapse
Correct Answer
C. G-protein receptorsExplanation
Cell-cell interaction can occur through various mechanisms such as hormones, gap junctions, and neurotransmitters released at the synapse. G-protein receptors, however, are not involved in direct cell-cell communication. G-protein receptors are membrane proteins that are activated by ligands, such as hormones or neurotransmitters, and initiate intracellular signaling pathways. While they play a crucial role in transmitting signals within a cell, they do not directly mediate interactions between cells.Rate this question:

Causes of the sigmoid shape of the oxygen-hemoglobin dissociation curve (O2) is:
- A.
The binding of one O2 molecule increases the affinity of binding of other O2 molecules.
- B.
The binding of one O2 molecule decreases the affinity of binding of other O2 molecules.
- C.
Bohr effect
- D.
Haldane effect
Correct Answer
A. The binding of one O2 molecule increases the affinity of binding of other O2 molecules.Explanation
The sigmoid shape of the oxygen-hemoglobin dissociation curve is due to the cooperative binding of oxygen molecules to hemoglobin. When one oxygen molecule binds to a subunit of hemoglobin, it induces conformational changes that increase the affinity of the remaining subunits for oxygen. This allows hemoglobin to bind more oxygen molecules more easily, resulting in a steep increase in oxygen saturation at higher oxygen partial pressures. This cooperative binding behavior is responsible for the sigmoid shape of the curve. The Bohr effect and Haldane effect are related to the regulation of oxygen binding and release by factors such as pH and carbon dioxide, but they do not directly explain the sigmoid shape of the curve.Rate this question:

Muscle’s blood supply increases during exercise due to:
- A.
Increased blood pressure
- B.
Accumulation of active metabolites
- C.
Increase vasodilatation
- D.
Increase heart rate
Correct Answer
B. Accumulation of active metabolitesExplanation
During exercise, the muscles require more oxygen and nutrients to function properly. As a result, there is an increased production of active metabolites such as lactic acid. These metabolites act as vasodilators, causing the blood vessels in the muscles to widen or dilate. This dilation allows for more blood to flow through the muscles, delivering the necessary oxygen and nutrients. Therefore, the accumulation of active metabolites is the reason why the muscle's blood supply increases during exercise.Rate this question:

Energy expenditure in resting state depends upon:
- A.
Lean body mass
- B.
Adipose tissue
- C.
Heart rate
- D.
None of the above
Correct Answer
A. Lean body massExplanation
In resting state, the body requires energy to perform basic functions such as breathing, circulating blood, and maintaining body temperature. Lean body mass refers to the weight of muscles, organs, and bones, which are metabolically active tissues that require energy even at rest. Therefore, the energy expenditure in resting state is dependent on lean body mass. Adipose tissue (fat) does not require as much energy at rest, and heart rate alone does not directly determine energy expenditure.Rate this question:

A person sits from standing position, change seen is:
- A.
Increase increase in venous return
- B.
Increase in heart rate
- C.
Increase epinephrine
- D.
Increased cerebral blood flow
Correct Answer
A. Increase increase in venous returnExplanation
When a person sits from a standing position, there is an increase in venous return. This means that more blood is flowing back to the heart from the veins. This increase in venous return leads to an increase in preload, which is the amount of blood filling the heart before it contracts. As a result, the heart rate increases to pump out this increased volume of blood. The other options, such as increase in epinephrine and increased cerebral blood flow, may also occur during this transition, but the primary change seen is the increase in venous return.Rate this question:

After 48 hours of fasting insulin receptors are down regulated in:
- A.
Brain
- B.
Liver
- C.
RBC
- D.
Adipocytes
Correct Answer
D. AdipocytesExplanation
After 48 hours of fasting, insulin receptors are downregulated in adipocytes. This means that the number of insulin receptors on the surface of adipocytes decreases. Insulin receptors are responsible for binding to insulin and allowing it to exert its effects on cells. Downregulation of insulin receptors in adipocytes suggests that these cells become less responsive to insulin signaling. This may be a mechanism to conserve energy during fasting, as insulin promotes the uptake and storage of glucose and fatty acids in adipocytes.Rate this question:

True about deglutition persistalsis of esophagus:
- A.
Primary
- B.
Secondary
- C.
Tertiary
- D.
Quarternary
Correct Answer
A. PrimaryExplanation
Primary peristalsis is the initial wave of muscular contractions that occurs in the esophagus after swallowing. It is an involuntary process that helps propel the food bolus from the mouth to the stomach. This wave is initiated by the swallowing reflex and is essential for the normal movement of food through the esophagus. Secondary peristalsis occurs when there is a blockage or incomplete clearance of the esophagus, and it serves as a backup mechanism to clear the obstruction. Tertiary and quarternary peristalsis are not recognized terms in relation to the esophagus.Rate this question:

Cyanosis doesn’t occur in anemia because:
- A.
Certain min. amount of reduced Hb should be present
- B.
In anemia, O 2 saturation increaes
- C.
Hypoxia stimulates erythropoietin production
- D.
O2 hemoglobin curve shifts to right
Correct Answer
A. Certain min. amount of reduced Hb should be presentExplanation
In order for cyanosis to occur, a certain minimum amount of reduced hemoglobin (Hb) needs to be present. Anemia is a condition characterized by a decrease in the number of red blood cells or a decrease in the amount of hemoglobin in the blood. However, it does not necessarily mean that there is a decrease in the amount of reduced hemoglobin. Therefore, cyanosis, which is the bluish discoloration of the skin and mucous membranes due to a lack of oxygen, does not occur in anemia.Rate this question:
