SHORT ANSWER TYPE QUESTIONS

Q.32. On basis of chemical nature how hormones are classified.

Ans :- On basis of chemical nature, hormones are classified into various groups ie.-

(i) Peptide, Polypeptide and protein hormones (eg insulin, glucagon etc).

(ii) Steroid (eg testosterone, cortisol).

(iii) Iodothyronines (thyroid hormones).

(iv) Amino- Acid derivatives (epinephrine).

Q.37. Write the function of thymus. Why the production of thymosin decreases in old people.

Ans :- 1ˢᵗ Part same as Ans 25.

2ⁿᵈ Part :- Thymus gland degenerated in old people and so its production also decreases.

Q.38. Name the protein hormones secreted by thyroid gland. What role does it plays. What is the similarities bet TCT and PTH?

Ans :- Protein hormone – thyrocalcitonin. It regulates the blood calcium levels.

Both TCT and PTH plays a significant role in calcium balance in the body.

LONG ANSWER TYPE QUESTIONS

Q.39. Explain the Mechanism of hormone action?

Ans :- Hormones produce their effects on target tissues by binding to specific protein called hormone receptors located in the target tissues only.

Two types of hormonal receptors are there ie

(i) Intra cellular receptors – Present inside the target cells.

(ii) Membrane bound receptors – Present on the cell Membrane of the target cells.

Binding a hormone to its receptors produces hormone – receptor complex. Each receptor is specific to one hormone only and hence receptors are specific. Hormone receptor complex formation bring some biochemical changes in the target tissue. Target tissue metabolism and physiological functions are regulated by hormones.

Hormones which interact with membrane bound receptors do not enter target cell, but generate 2ⁿᵈ messengers which in turn regulate cellular metabolism.

Q.40. What is a hormone receptor complex. Give the diagrammatic representation of mechanism of hormone action (protein hormone).

Ans :- When a hormone bind to a specific protein (hormone receptors) it is called hormone receptor complex.
