Question 1:
Fill in the blanks by selecting the appropriate alternative from those given in brackets.
(i) Regulation of activities inside the body are brought about by……………………. and Systems. (nervous/digestive/endocrine)
(ii) Hormones are secreted directly into the………………..(organs/lymph/blood)
(iii) Chemically, some hormones are ………………. Some steroids, some ……………. (proteins/amines/
(v) Both …………………. or deficiency of hormones lead to serious consequences. (excess/absence)
(vi) Hormones produced in one species usually show………………….. influence in other species. (similar/different)
Answer :
(i) Nervous, endocrine
(ii) Blood
(iii) Proteins, amines
(iv) Excess
(v) Similar
Question 2:
Give the characteristics of hormones pertaining to
(i) Site of action
(ii) Chemical nature
(iii) Manner of transportation.
Answer :
(i) The site of action of hormones is usually far away from their source and that is why the hormones are carried by blood from their source to their target cells.
(ii) Some hormones chemically are steroids, some amines, and some peptides.
For example,
Protein as hormone : insulin
Steroid as hormone : testosterone
Amines as hormone : adrenaline
(iii) The endocrine glands being ductless, secretes the hormones directly into the blood which then transports the hormones to its target cells and organs.

Question 1:
Mention the three types of cells of the islets of Langerhans and the name of the hormone they secrete.
Answer :
(i) Glucagon
(ii) Insulin
(iii) Somatostatin
Question 2:
Mention the two principal ways in which insulin acts
Answer :
(i) It converts excess glucose into glycogen and stores them in liver and muscles.
(ii) Insulin promotes glucose utilization by the body cells.
Question 3:
Name the following conditions
(i) Passage of much glucose in urine
(ii) Overdose of insulin makes the diabetic patient unconscious
Answer :
(i) Diabetes mellitus
(ii) Insulin shock
Question 4:
List any three symptoms of diabetes mellitus.
Answer :
(i) High concentration of sugar in the blood.
(ii) Urine loaded with sugar is excreted.
(iii) Thirsty feeling due to frequent urination and loss of weight.
Question 5:
Name the two categories of hormones secreted by adrenal cortex.
Answer :
The adrenal cortex produces three main types of steroid hormones : mineralocorticoids, glucocorticoids, and androgens.
Question 6:
List any two effects of adrenaline.
Answer :
(i) Increase in heart beats causing it to send more glucose and oxygen to the muscle leading to thumping of heart.
(ii) Constricts the arterioles so that blood goes less to the skin and more to the muscle leaving the person pale

Question 1:
Mention if the following statements are true (T) or false (F). If false, rewrite the correct word (not words) striking out the single wrong one.
(i) Pituitary is of the size of a lemon.
(ii) Pituitary has three lobes-anterior, posterior and intermediate.
(iii) Oversecretion of growth hormone in adult causes gigantism.
(iv) Vasopressin secreted by anterior lobe controls reabsorption of water form kidney tubules.
Answer :
(i) False
Pituitary is of the size of a pea.
It is a small projection which hangs from the base of a mid-brain below hypothalamus.
(ii) False
Pituitary has two distinct lobes anterior and posterior in humans.
The intermediate lobe of the pituitary gland is seen in some lower group animals but is absent in humans.
(iii) False
Over-secretion of growth hormone in adult causes acromegaly.
Acromegaly is a condition where there is the extra growth of bones of jaws, hands, and feet. A person develops a large nose and thick lips.
(iv) False
Vasopressin secreted by posterior lobe controls reabsorption of water from kidney tubules.
Deficiency of vasopressin causes diabetes insipidus.
Question 2:
Write the full forms of :
(i) TSH
(ii) LH
(iii) ACTH
(iv) ADH
Answer :
(i) TSH : Thyroid Stimulating Hormone
(ii) LH : Luteinizing Hormone
(iii) ACTH : Adrenocorticotropic Hormone
(iv) ADH : Antidiuretic Hormone
Question 3:
What causes the following ?
(i) Acromegaly
(ii) Diabetes insipidus
Answer :
(i) Acromegaly is caused by the oversecretion of Growth Hormone during adulthood. This condition leads to extra growth of bones in the face, hands and feet and develops a large nose and thick lips.
(ii) Undersecretion of ADH from posterior pituitary causes diabetes insipidus.
Deficiency of Antidiuretic Hormone (ADH) causes diabetes insipidus in which urination is frequent and copious resulting in excess loss of water from the body and absence. A person suffering from this condition feels thirsty, frequent urination and there is a loss of water from the body.
