Cushing’s reflex helps to maintain
- A.
Cerebral blood flow
- B.
Coronary blood flow
- C.
Renal blood flow
- D.
Hepatic blood flow
Correct Answer
A. Cerebral blood flowExplanation
When intra cranial pressure is increased, the blood supply to the vasomotor area is compromised and the local hypoxia capnia increase its discharge. The resultant rise is the systematic arterial pressure (Cushing reflex) tends to restore the blood flow to the medulla and over a considerable range; the blood pressure is raised proportional to the increase in Intra cranial pressure.Rate this question:

Pyramidal fibres are
- A.
Commisural fibres
- B.
Projection fibres
- C.
Association fibres
- D.
Both B and C
Correct Answer
B. Projection fibresExplanation
Projection fibres are a type of neural fibres that connect different regions within the brain and spinal cord. They transmit information from one area to another, allowing for communication and coordination between different brain regions. Pyramidal fibres specifically refer to the long axons of pyramidal neurons, which are found in the cerebral cortex and are involved in motor control and cognitive functions. Therefore, the correct answer is projection fibres.Rate this question:

All of the following are increased during exercise except
- A.
Venous return
- B.
Cardiac output
- C.
Peripheral vascular resistances
- D.
Coronary blood flow
Correct Answer
C. Peripheral vascular resistancesExplanation
During exercise, the body's demand for oxygen and nutrients increases, leading to an increase in heart rate and cardiac output. This allows for more blood to be pumped to the muscles and organs. Additionally, coronary blood flow increases to provide adequate oxygen supply to the heart itself. Venous return, which is the amount of blood returning to the heart, also increases during exercise. However, peripheral vascular resistances, which refer to the resistance to blood flow in the peripheral blood vessels, decrease during exercise to facilitate increased blood flow to the muscles. Therefore, the correct answer is peripheral vascular resistances.Rate this question:

In JVP, ‘c’ wave indicates
- A.
Atrial filling
- B.
Atrial contraction
- C.
Ventricular filling
- D.
Ventricular contraction
Correct Answer
D. Ventricular contractionExplanation
C’ wave is the transmitted manifestation of the rise in the atrial pressure produced by the bulging of the tricuspid valve into the atria during isovolumetric ventricular contraction.
‘a’ –wave-atrail systole, ‘v’ wave – rise in atrial pressure before tricuspid valve opens during diastole.Rate this question:

In exercises all the following parameters are changed except
- A.
Increased peripheral vascular resistance
- B.
Increased blood pressure
- C.
Increased cardiac output
- D.
Increased heart rate
Correct Answer
A. Increased peripheral vascular resistanceExplanation
In exercises, various physiological parameters change in order to meet the increased demand for oxygen and nutrients by the muscles. Increased peripheral vascular resistance refers to the narrowing of blood vessels, which leads to increased resistance to blood flow. This is not a parameter that typically changes during exercise. On the other hand, increased blood pressure, increased cardiac output, and increased heart rate are all common responses to exercise as the body tries to deliver more oxygenated blood to the working muscles. Therefore, the correct answer is increased peripheral vascular resistance.Rate this question:

Which one of the following indicates are reflex
- A.
Wheel
- B.
Flare
- C.
Redness
- D.
White reaction
Correct Answer
B. FlareExplanation
Triple response
When all the skin is stroked more firmly with a pointed instrument, instead of the white reaction there is reddening at the site that appears in about 10 seconds( Red reaction) wheal- local edema due to capillary permeability flare-redness spreading out from the injury. This three-part response the red reaction. Wheal and flare are called triple response.
Flare:- It is due to axon reflex.
Evidence:- Flare is absent in locally anaesthetized skin and in deneverated skin after the sensory nerves have degeneratedRate this question:

- A.
Isovolumetric contraction
- B.
Isovolumetric relaxation
- C.

Resting membrane potential depends upon
- A.
HCO3 level
- B.
Cl- level
- C.
K+ level
- D.
Na+ level
Correct Answer
C. K+ levelExplanation
Ionic Basis of resting membranes potential
K channelks maintain the resting potential.
- Na+ is actively transported out of neurons and other cells.
- K+ is actively transported into cells.
- K+ moves out of cells and Na+ moves in but because of K+ permeability at rest is greater than Na+ permeability.Rate this question:

Motor unit is
- A.
One muscle fibre and the nerve fibres
- B.
Muscle fibres supplied by single nerve fibres
- C.
All muscles supplied by single motor nerve
- D.
One muscles fibre and many motor nerves
Correct Answer
B. Muscle fibres supplied by single nerve fibresExplanation
The motor unit
- Each single motor neuron and the muscle fiber it innervates constitutes a motor unit.
- Each spinal motor neuron innervates only one kind of muscle fiber, so that all of the muscle fibre in a motor unit are of the same typeRate this question:
