    Blood flow to the heart is maximum during

    • Diastole

    • Systole

    • Both

    • None

    Correct Answer
    A. Diastole
    Explanation
    Coronary vessels are severely compressed during systole. During diastole the cardiac muscle reflaxes and no longer onstruct the blood flow through the left ventricular capillaries so that blood now flows rapidly during all diastole.

  • 7. 

    All of the following are increased during exercise except

    • Venous return

    • Cardiac output

    • Peripheral vascular resistances

    • Coronary blood flow

    Correct Answer
    A. Peripheral vascular resistances
    Explanation
    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.

    Cushing’s reflex helps to maintain

    • Cerebral blood flow

    • Coronary blood flow

    • Renal blood flow

    • Hepatic blood flow

    Correct Answer
    A. Cerebral blood flow
    Explanation
    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.

    Correct Answer
    A. Astrocytes
    Explanation
    Astrocyte foot processes are closely associated with the blood vessels to form the blood-brain barriers oligodendrocytes forms myelin sheath which surrounds axons. Microglia are blood derived non nuclear macrophages.

    Resting membrane potential depends upon

    • HCO3 level

    • Cl- level

    • K+ level

    • Na+ level

    Correct Answer
    A. K+ level
    Explanation
    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.

    A. Parietal cells
    Explanation
    In addition to hydrochloric acid, the parietal cells, the gastric mucosa secrete intrinsic factor a 49 K Da glycoprotein that binds to cynacobalamin (Vitamin B12) and is necessary for its absorption from the small intestine.

    In JVP, ‘c’ wave indicates

    • Atrial filling

    • Atrial contraction

    • Ventricular filling

    • Ventricular contraction

    Correct Answer
    A. Ventricular contraction
    Explanation
    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.

    Pyramidal fibres are

    • Commisural fibres

    • Projection fibres

    • Association fibres

    • Both B and C

    Correct Answer
    A. Projection fibres
    Explanation
    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.

    A. Flare
    Explanation
    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.
