Answers

1. c. Parathyroid gland
Explanation: Parathyroid gland is four lobed,this gland is present in the neck
region.

2. d. 1-B, 2-D, 3-A, 4-C

Explanation: Thyroxin is secreted by the thyroid gland to regulate the
metabolic rate and help control body temperature; Insulin and glucagon are
hormones that help regulate the levels of blood glucose in the body secreted by
pancreas; The testes are the most essential organs of the male reproductive
system. They are the glands where sperm and testosterone are produced;
Estrogen is a female steroid hormone that is produced by the ovaries.

3. c. Adrenaline - Pituitary gland

Explanation: Adrenaline hormone is not released form pituitary gland. It is
released by adrenal gland.

4. b. Pituitary gland
Explanation: Pituitary gland is known as master gland as it controls the
release of other hormones that are required for growth and development.

5. b. Estrogen
Explanation: Estrogen hormone released from pituitary gland to help in the
development of mammary gland to feed the young ones.

6. Insulin, controls (i.e. reduces) the level of sugar in blood, and Pancreas is the gland
which secretes it.

7. Anterior lobe (Adenohypophysis) controls growth and development of gonads.

8. Spinal cord is responsible for reflex action.

9. Adrenaline is produced in adrenal gland.

10. Sleep movement or Nyctinasty is the circadian rhythmic nastic movement of higher
plants in response to the onset of darkness. Examples are the closing of the petals of a
flower at dusk and the sleep movements of the leaves of many legumes.

11. Physiological effects of gibberelline are:

i. Elongation of stem and expansion of leaf.
ii. Reversal of Dwarfism particularly in corn.
iii. Parthenocarpy.
iv. Breaking of seed and bud dormancy.

12. The brain is somewhat a hollow structure containing many cavities of various sizes.
These cavities are known as ventricles.
Each cerebral hemisphere contains a cavity, the first and second ventricles. These
ventricles are connected with the third ventricle by a canal.
The third ventricle is present in the thalamus. It is connected with the fourth ventricle
by a small central canal present in the mid brain. The roof of the third ventricle also
contains clusters of blood vessels which secrete cerebrospinal fluid.
The medulla contains the fourth ventricle. This ventricle is formed by the
enlargement of the central canal of the spinal cord. The roof of the fourth ventricle
also contains tufts of blood vessels which secrete part of the cerebrospinal fluid.

13. When the plant is placed in such a room that has only one open window, the shoot of
the plant bends towards the direction of light. Plant hormone auxin is synthesized at
the shoot tips,helps the cells to grow longer. When light is coming from one side of the
plant, auxin diffuses towards the shady side of the shoot. This concentration of auxin
stimulates the cells to grow longer on the side of the shoot which is away from light.
Thus, the plant appears to bend towards light while growing phototropism.
14. The central nervous system in human beings consists of brain and spinal cord.
i. Brain: Brain is the highest coordinating centre in the body. It is covered by
meninges, which is made up of three layers. It is protected by cranium. Brain is
broadly divided into three parts, forebrain, midbrain and hindbrain
a. Forebrain: The forebrain includes cerebrum and olfactory lobes. Cerebrum is
the largest part of the brain. It consists of two cerebral hemispheres. Sensory
and motor receptors are present in the brain. There are various regions for
reception of vision (occipital lobe), reception of sound (temporal lobe), touch,
smell, temperature (parietal lobe) and muscular activities (frontal lobe).
Olfactory lobes are one in pair and receives olfactory nerves.
b. Midbrain: It is the small portion of the brain that connects cerebrum with the
other parts of the brain and spinal cord.
c. Hindbrain: It consists of cerebellum, pons and medulla oblongata.
Cerebellum is responsible for coordination and adjustment of movement and
posture. Pons regulate respiration. Medulla oblongata regulates swallowing,
coughing, sneezing and vomiting.
ii. Spinal cord: Medulla oblongata extends downwards, enclosed in vertebral
column to form a cylindrical structure known as spinal cord. It is also covered by
meninges. It is the reflex centre of the body.

15. The working together of various organs of human being in a systematic, controlled
and efficient way to produce a proper response to various stimuli is known as
coordination.
In human beings, the control and coordination is brought about by both nervous
system and endocrine system. Nervous system consists of receptors that receive the
stimulus from surrounding environment and send the message received by them to
the spinal cord and brain in form of electrical impulses through the sensory nerves.
The motor nerves then transmit the response to the effector. The effectors are mainly
the muscles and glands of our body. Thus, endocrine glands secreting hormones are
directly or indirectly controlled by the nervous system. For example, when an
emergency stimulus is detected by the nervous system, the stimulus is detected by the
nervous system , the stimulus is received and analysed by central nervous system that
send message to effectors to provide proper response. At the same time, the
sympathetic nervous system activates adrenal gland to release adrenaline that
prepares body by increasing heart rate, blood pressure,respiration and dilates pupil
etc.
Hence, control and coordination in humans (or animals) depend on two things for
transmitting information, i.e. chemical signals of hormones and nerve impulses.
If they depended only on nerve impulses through nerve cells, only a limited range of
tissues would be stimulated. Since, they get additional chemical signals as well, a large
number of tissues are stimulated. This is why animals can show a wide range of
response to stimulus.
