C. SHORT ANSWER QUESTIONS

(Page-168)

Question 1. Define:

(i) Diabetes insipidus

(ii) Tropic hormone

(iii) Hormones

(iv) Medulla oblongata

Answer :

(i) Diabetes insipidus is an uncommon disorder that causes an imbalance of fluids in the body. This imbalance leads you to produce large amounts of urine. It also makes you very thirsty even if you have something to drink.

(ii) Any of a class of hormones from the anterior pituitary gland that affect the secretion of other endocrine glands. The tropic hormones include thyroid-stimulating hormone, corticotropin, follicle-stimulating hormone, and luteinizing hormone

(iii) Hormones are your body’s chemical messengers. They travel in your bloodstream to tissues or organs. They work slowly, over time, and affect many different processes, including: Growth and development. Metabolism – how your body gets energy from the foods you ea

(iv) medulla oblongata, also called medulla, the lowest part of the brain and the lowest portion of the brainstem. The medulla oblongata is connected by the pons to the midbrain and is continuous posteriorly with the spinal cord, with which it merges at the opening (foramen magnum) at the base of the skull.

Question 2. How do the following differ?

(i) Cushing syndrome and Cons syndrome

(ii) Acromegaly and Cretinism

(iii) Diabetes mellitus and Diabetes insipidus

(iv) Vasopressin and insulin (Deficiency disorder)

Answer :

(i) Cushing disease is a specific type of Cushing syndrome. It occurs when a pituitary tumor causes the body to make too much cortisol. Cushing disease is the most common form of endogenous (from the body) Cushing syndrome, and makes up about 70% of Cushing syndrome cases

(ii) Cretinism in a condition arising from the deficiency of thyroid hormones ,which is categorized by drawfism and mental retardation. Acromegaly is a rare but serious condition caused by too much growth hormone (GH) in the blood

(iii) Diabetes mellitus is more commonly known simply as diabetes. It’s when your pancreas doesn’t produce enough insulin to control the amount of glucose, or sugar, in your blood. Diabetes insipidus is a rare condition that has nothing to do with the pancreas or blood sugar

(iv)

Vasopressin Insulin
Insufficient secretion of vasopressin causes diabetes insipidus. Insufficient secretion of insulin causes diabetes mellitus.

Question 3. Explain the following:

(i) Some women develop beard and moustache.

(ii) Mouth dries up and heartbeat increases during public speaking

(iii) The pituitary gland is known as the “Master gland

(iv) The role of insulin in maintaining blood sugar level.

(v) People living in hilly regions usually suffer from simple goitre

Answer :

(i) Some women develop facial hair like beard and moustache due to abnormal production of androgens like testosterone. In these women, they produce higher than normal levels of male sex hormones, androgens. This results in male-pattern hair growth along with other male characteristics, like heavy voice

(ii) Adrenaline is the hormone which prepares the body to meet any emergency situation. Adrenaline makes the heart beat faster. At the same time it stimulates the constriction of the arterioles of the digestive system reducing the blood supply of the digestive system which makes the mouth dry.

(iii) The pituitary gland is sometimes called the “master” gland of the endocrine system because it controls the functions of many of the other endocrine glands. The pituitary gland is no larger than a pea, and is located at the base of the brain

(iv) People living in hilly regions usually suffer from simple goitre. goitre is caused by hyposecretion of thyroxine. The deficiency of iodine leads to less production of thyroxine and therefore, people living in hilly regions usually suffer from simple goitre
