SECTION B BIOLOGY (SSS 3)

ANSWER ANY 3 QUESTIONS
1. gland W is located just below the stomach in the human body. The gland W secretes a
hormone X. The deficiency of hormone X in the body causes a disease Y in which the blood
sugar level of a person rises too much. The person having high blood sugar is called Z. (a)
Name (i) gland W, and (ii) hormone X. (b) What is the function of hormone X ? (c) Name (i)
disease Y, and (ii) person Z. (d) What advice would you like to give to a person who is
suffering from disease Y due to faulty life-style ?
2 a. What are hormones?
b. Write short notes on the following hormones, stating their functions and
deficiencies.
I. Oestrogen
II. Testosterone
III. Insulin
IV. Thyroxine
3a. What is homeostasis?
b. Outline any four functions of the liver and explain any two of them.
c. Mention any three liver diseases and explain any one of them.
4 a. Explain why the kidney is referred to as an osmoregulatory organ.
b. Outline the functions of the skin.
c. Outline any three kidney diseases and discuss any one of them.
4 Write short note on
a. Goitre
b. Diabetes mellitus
c. Jaundice
d. Kidney failure
e. Draw a sketch show the endocrine gland and label properly.
5 a. Explain the meaning of the following
I. Reflex action
II. Voluntary action
b. State any 2 difference between reflex and voluntary action.
c. What are involuntary action?
6 a. What are the difference between the sympathetic and parasympathetic nervous
system? Give any 3
b. List any 3 reflex action
c. List any 2 functions of the following
I. Cerebrum

7 . The gland A is attached to the wind pipe in the human body. The gland A makes and
secretes a hormone B which controls the metabolism of carbohydrates, fats and
proteins in the body. The non-metal element C is necessary for the formation of
hormone B. The deficiency of C in the diet can cause a deficiency of hormone B in the
body leading to a disease D in which the neck of a person appears to be swollen. People
are advised to use salt E in cooking food so as to avoid disease D. (a) Name (i) gland A,
and (ii) hormone B. (b) What is the element C ? (c) Name one type of food which can
provide sufficient C in the diet of a person. (d) Name (i) disease D, and (ii) salt E.
