Hypersecretion of Growth Hormone in adults does not cause further increase in height, becauseA. growth hormone becomes inactive in adultsB. epiphyseal plates close after adolescenceC. bones losse their sensitivity to growth hormone in adultsD. muscle fibres do not grow in size after birth |
|
Answer» Correct Answer - B Chronic hypersecretion of Growth Hormone (GH) leads to gigantism or acromegally depending on the age of the individual. If its hypersecretion occurs before the ossification of epiphyseal plates, it cause exaggerated and prolonged growth in long bones. It results in gigantism. In adults, hypersecretion of GH leads to accromegaly, No incrase in hight occurs because of the ossified epiphyseal plate |

The name second messenger is given to Or ltbr In the mechanism of action of a protein hormone, one of the second messengers isA. ATPB. Cyclic AMPC. GTPD. Both ATP and AMP |
|
Answer» Correct Answer - B |
|
| 765. |
In the mechanism of action of a protein hormone, one of the second messengers isA. cyclic AMPB. insulinC. `T_(3)`D. gastrin. |
|
Answer» Correct Answer - A The molecules of hormones that are amino acid derivatives, peptides or protiens are large and insoluble in lipids and cannot enter the target cell. Therefore, they actg at the cell surface. They bind to specific receptor molecuels located on the cell membrane and generate second messenger, e.g., cyclic AMP, `IP_(3),Ca^(++)`, etc. |
|
| 766. |
In the mechanism of action of a protein hormone, one of the second messengers isA. Cyclic AMPB. InsulinC. `T_(3)`D. Gastrin |
|
Answer» Cyclic AMP is one of the second messengers involved in the action of a protein hormone. The other three options are incorrect as Insulin regulates glucose homeostasis `T_(3)` regulates the metabolic rate of the body and thus, helps in maintaining Basal Metabolic Rate (BMR). Gastrin is a peptide hormone, that stimulates the secretion of hydrochloric acid and, pepsinogen. |

Assertion: Insulin is an anabolic hormone. Reason: A fall in blood amino acids also increaes insulin secretion. |
|
Answer» Correct Answer - C Insulin is a n anabolic hormone. It increases the synthesis of fat in the adipose tissue from fatty acids as well as glucose. It promotes protein synthesis in tissues from amono acids. It reduces catabolism of proteins and breakdonw and oxidation of fats by decreasing the enzymes which induce glucoenogenesis, insulin increases the utilisation of glucose in tissues and facilitates the storage of glucose as glycogen. A rise in blood glucose level and blood amino acids stimulates both synthesis and the secretion of insulin. |
