MCQ
Which of the following is associated with decrease in cardiac output?
  • A
    Adrenal medullary hormones
  • B
    Sympathetic nerves
  • Parasympathetic neural signals
  • D
    Pneumotaxic centre

Answer

Correct option: C.
Parasympathetic neural signals
c
Option (3) is the correct answer.

Parasympathetic neural signals decrease the rate of heart beat, speed of conduction of action potential, stroke volume and thereby the cardiac output.

Adrenal medullary hormones increase cardiac output.

Sympathetic neural signals increase the rate of heart beat, strength of ventricular contraction and thereby the cardiac output.

Mammals have the ability to produce a concentrated urine. Which statement not match with production of concentrated urine ?
(i) The Henle's loop and vasa recta play a significant role in this.
(ii) Concentration of urine occurs by counter current mechanism.
(iii) The proximity between the Henle's loop and vasa recta, as well as the counter current in them increases osmolarity from cortex to medulla.
(iv) Osmolarity increasing from 300 mOsmol L' in the cortex to about 1200 mOsmol L' in the inner medulla.
(v) Osmolarity gradient from cortex to medulla is mainly caused by NaCl and urea.
(vi) Presence of osmolarity gradient helps in an easy passage of water from the collecting tubule thereby concentrating the filtrate (urine).
(vii) Human kidneys can produce urine nearly four times concentrated than the initial filtrate formed.
