Model Answer Mid Term 2009 Preden

Cairo University – Department of Zoology

Mid-Term Exam of Zoology for Predentary Students March 2009 Time allowed 1 hour A) Physiology (5 Marks) 1} Write the scientific term of each of the following: 1) It is a hormone secreted from a cell into the extracellular space (fluid) and affects the neighboring cell. (paracrine hormone) 2) It receives signals from the higher centers of the brain, translates them and sends the appropriate messengers to the pituitary gland, which in turn secretes the necessary hormone. (hypothalmus) 3) It stimulates uterine contraction during childbirth and initiates the production of milk by the mammary glands i.e. ↑ milk secretion. (oxytocin) ¯ 4) Iodide (I ) in food and drinking water is absorbed from the gastrointestinal tract into the blood, which are then actively transported into thyroid cells against concentration gradient. (iodide pump) 5) It is a hypocalcemic hormone and secreted from parafollicular cells of thyroid gland. (cacitonin) 6) It is the only hormone that directly decreases the blood glucose levels. (insulin) 7) Usually, it is more dangerous and less common where it represents 10% of the total diabetics. (type I or IDDM) 8) It secretes mineralocorticoids such as aldosterone. (zona glomerulosa) 9) A decrease in vascular volume (due to hemorrhage or Na+ & water loss) leads to a decrease in blood pressure or in blood flow to kidney. This increases renin secretion from the kidney. Renin acts to stimulate release of a large protein called angiotensinogen from the liver, which directly stimulates aldosterone secretion. (rennin-angiotensin system) 10) A hormone that is secreted by alpha cells (25%) of the islets of Langerhans. (glucagon)

2} Put right (√) or wrong (X) and correct the wrong statement: 1) During the absorption of fats: Monoglyecerides

The mucosal

and fatty acids from the micelles enter the lacteals.

cells

2) Transamination involves the transfer of the amino group of an amino acid to a Keto acid which provides the basis for the formation of essential

non

amino acids. 3) Upon contact of food with the pyloric mucosa, it Gastrin hormone

releases the gastric secretions.

4) The physiologically important polysaccharides Starch

or

inulin

or

include cellulose, dextrins, lactose and chitin.

glycogen

5) The degree of inhibition by non-competitive inhibitors is reduced by the number of substrate not molecule. 6) Copper is an activator of several enzymes and is zinc required for synthesis of the hormone insulin. 7) Glycolysis means the brakedown of glycogen to glycogenlysis reform glucose in the cells. 8) Trypsinogin is activated by HCl to active trypsin entrokinase that

splits

proteoses

and

peptones

into

small

polypeptides. 9) From the essential amino acids are methionine , alanine, arginine and tryptophan.

phenylalanine

10) All reactions of the citric acid cycle occur in the cytosol, mitochondria and require oxygen.
