MCQ
Which one of the following statements is correct?
  • A
    Endocrine glands regulate neural activity, but not vice versa.
  • B
    Neurons regulate endocrine activity, but notvice versa.
  • Endocrine glands regulate neural activity, and nervous system regulates endocrine glands.
  • D
    Neither hormones control neural activity nor the neurons control endocrine activity.

Answer

Correct option: C.
Endocrine glands regulate neural activity, and nervous system regulates endocrine glands.
c
(c) : The endocrine system links the brain to the organs that control body metabolism, growth and development, and reproduction. The endocrine system is regulated by feedback.

For example, the hormones that are regulated by the pituitary gland, a signal is sent from the hypothalamus to the pituitary gland in the form of a “releasing hormone,” which stimulates the pituitary to secrete a “stimulating hormone” into the circulation. The stimulating hormone then signals the target gland to secrete its hormone. As the level of this hormone rises in the circulation, the hypothalamus and the pituitary gland shut down secretion of the releasing hormone and the stimulating hormone, which in turn slows the secretion by the target gland. This system results in stable blood concentrations of the hormones that are regulated by the pituitary gland.

Which statements are incorrect for mechanisms of nerve impulse conduction along electrical junctions of neuron or electrical synapse ?
(i) Nerve impulse flow directly from one neuron to other across the synapses in electrical synapses.
(ii) Transmission of an impulse across electrical synapses is very similar to impulse conduction along a single axon.
(iii) Impulse transmission across an electrical synapse is always faster than that across a chemical synapse.
(iv) Electrical synapses are rare in our system.
(v) At an electrical synapse, the membranes of the pre and post-synaptic neurons are separated by a fluid-filled space called synaptic cleft is thick.
(vi) Chemicals called neurotransmitters are involved in the transmission of impulses at this synapse.
