Q.1
Luteal phase is the other name of .. .... [ CET Chd. 2000 ]
0%
a) Follicular phase
0%
b) Proliferative phase
0%
c) Menstrual flow phase
0%
d) Secretory phase
Explanation
The luteal phase of the menstrual cycle begins after ovulation occurs on Day 14 and continues until the first day of your period (Day 1). It is also known as the premenstrual phase or the ovulatory phase. It’s called the secretory phase. During the secretory phase, the progesterone released by the corpus luteum in the ovaries stimulates the endometrium to secrete substances called prostaglandins (PGs). Answer : (d)

b) During pregnancy
0%
c) Before puberty
0%
d) At menopause
Explanation
Many hormone levels change in the body during pregnancy, with several hormones playing major roles during pregnancy. These include: Human chorionic gonadotropin hormone (hCG). This hormone is only produced during pregnancy —almost exclusively in the placenta. HCG hormone levels found in maternal blood and urine increase dramatically during the first trimester and may contribute to nausea and vomiting that are often associated with pregnancy. Human placental lactogen (hPL). This hormone, produced by the placenta, helps provide nutrition to the fetus and plays a role in stimulating milk glands in the breasts in anticipation of breastfeeding. Estrogen. This group of hormones is responsible for developing the female sexual characteristics. Normally formed in the ovaries, estrogen is also produced by the placenta during pregnancy to help maintain a healthy pregnancy. Progesterone. This hormone is produced by the ovaries and by the placenta during pregnancy. Progesterone stimulates the thickening of the uterine lining in anticipation of implantation of a fertilized egg. Answer : (b)

The next layer is called the tunica albuginea. It’s a thick, protective layer made of densely packed fibers that further protect the testes. In artery, the outermost coat, or tunica adventitia, is a tough layer consisting mainly of collagen fibres that act as a supportive element. The tunica media or media for short, is the middle tunica (layer) of an artery or vein. Answer : (d)

Q.28
Which is absent in human sperm ... ... [ Uttarakhand 2001 ]
0%
a) Nucleus
0%
b) Mitochondria
0%
c) Centriole
0%
d) Endoplasmic reticulum
Explanation
Sperm is an highly motile structure . The energy comes from the large number of mitochondria present in the mid piece . Er ,ribosome , golgi bodies are needed in cells which undergo metabolism but sperms survive on glucose which needs no metabolism so there is no use of golgi bodies and sperm has no use of proteins so it is devoid of ribosomes and Er and its main aim is to contract the nucleus in such a short space . The DNA in sperm is coiled more extensively to accommodate it in a small space . More number of mitochondria more the motility which inturn increases the fertilization rate Answer : (d)
