6. The schematic diagram above shows the regulation of blood glucose level. Choose the correct answers for the empty boxes labelled as A, B, C, D and E.

Insulin also stimulates the conversion of glucose to glycogen in B liver and muscle cells, for storage. Glucagon stimulates the liver to break down glycogen to glucose. D Glucagon also promotes lipid breakdown, which releases fatty acids E that can be metabolized for energy. The adipose cells use the breakdown of glucose to form fats. C Insulin stimulates the uptake of glucose by liver, muscle and adipose cells, A for respiration.

7. P : Ultrafiltration, Q : Reabsorption of glucose, R : Reabsorption of water and mineral salts 8. (a) P : synaptic knob Q : synaptic vesicle R :mitochondrion S : neurotransmitter molecule T :receptor molecule U : post-synaptic neurone (b) neurotransmitter (c) Energy expenditure is needed for the synthesis of neurotransmitter and the transmission of impulses.

This energy is obtained from ATP, generated by mitochondrion during cellular respiration.

(d) The arrival of an impulse causes the synaptic vesicle to fuse with the

membrane of the synaptic knob.

Synaptic vesicles release neurotransmitter molecules into the synaptic cleft.

The neurotransmitter molecules diffuse across the synaptic cleft.

The neurotransmitter binds to the receptor of the postsynaptic neurone to generate a new impulse.

(e) Neurotransmitter molecules are only produced by synaptic knobs found at the

terminal end of axon of an presynaptic neurone. 9. (a) L : pituitary gland M : thyroid gland N : adrenal gland O : pancreas (b) Testis (c) (i) Pituitary gland (ii) Thyroid-stimulating hormone (d) (i) Thyroxine (ii) Increases or control basal metabolic rate. Regulates growth and development. (e) Iodine is required for synthesis of the hormone thyroxine. Deficiency of the hormone in early childhood causes cretinism. There is retardation in physical growth and mental development. 10. (a) (i) Ultrafiltration (ii) Reabsorption (iii) Tubular secretion (b) (i) Ultrafiltration (ii) The arteriole diameter is wider than the efferent arteriole.

A high hydrostatic pressure is produced which forces the fluid from the glomerulus into the Bowman�s capsule

© (i) Red blood cells, Plasma proteins

(ii) The large size of the two components do not permit their movement through the small pores in the capillary wall and the inner wall of Bowman�s capsule.

(d) The filtrate flows from Bowman�s capsule to the proximal tubule. In the

proximal tubule : - a large volume (about 80%) of the water is reabsorbed - all the glucose and amino acids are reabsorbed - a small amount of urea is reabsorbed

- the filtrate in the loop of Henle is more concentrated, containing no glucose or amino acids but having a higher concentration

(e) Kidneys ESSAY QUESTIONS 1. (i) Describe the reflex action in Diagram 1(a)

A sharp pin pierces the skin, causing the sensory receptors in the skin to generate nerve impulses. The nerve impulses are transmitted along an afferent neurone toward the spinal cord. In the spinal cord, the nerve impulses are transmitted from the afferent neurone to an interneurone. From the interneurone, the nerve impulses are transmitted to an efferent neurone. The efferent neurone carries the nerve impulses from the spinal cord to the effector (muscle tissue) so that the pin can be pulled out from the skin immediately.

(ii) Compare the coordination system shown in Diagram 1(a) and 1(b).

(hypothalamus) 2. - Tissue P is ligament

- strong and elastic / fibrous - allow the bones to move at the joints - it binds two bones together at the joints

- Tissue Q is tendon - strong and inelastic - binds skeletal muscles to the bones across the joints - causes the pulling / action force passes to the skeleton / limbs - Tissue R is (skeletal) muscle - which has the ability to contract and relax - during contraction causes a force which move the bones - skeletal muscle exist in pair / act antigonistically - Tissue S is bone - surface of the bone is covered with cartilage - avoid the bone from worn out

3. -The knee jerk action

- involves afferent neurons and efferent neurons.

- When a hammer hits a tendon that connect to quadriceps muscle in the thigh to a

bone in the lower leg

-The force stretches the quadriceps muscle and stimulates the stretch receptors in

the muscles,triggering nerve impulses

- Nerve impulses is transmitted in the afferent neurone to the spinal cord

-Afferent neurones transsmit the information to the efferent neurone in the spinal

Cord

- The efferent neurones transmit the information to the quadriceps muscle

- The muscle contracts and swing the leg forward

- If the patient is able to swing the leg forward, it indicates that the patient�s nerve

system is still functioning

- If there is no response, it shows that the patient�s nervous system fails to function

properly

4. How hypothalamus, skin and adrenal gland function in osmoregulating the student�s body temperature that skate in the skating ring?

- Temperature on the surface of the skin decrease is detected by receptor in the skin - Impulses are generated and sent to the hypothalamus - Thermoreceptor in the hypothalamus is stimulated to produce impulses and sent to organ / skin /glands - Hair is raised to trap heat - arteriole contracts / vasoconstriction // decrease the flow of blood to the surface of the skin - decrease sweating / the activity of sweat glands - Impulse stimulate the adrenal glands -More adrenaline is secreted -More glycogen is converted into glucose -Metabolism rate increases to produce more heat.
