#endocrine physiology practice question

5 public questions tagged with this topic.

T3 and T4 are released into blood through:

The correct answer is C: MCT transporter. In Endocrinology, this idea is central because it matches how the body actually works in everyday teaching examples. Put simply, MCT transporter is the option that correctly names the structure, process, or principle asked for in Endocrinology. That is why MCT transporter is the option that holds up when you check it against basic physiology. When you revise, say the answer out loud with one short reason attached; that sticks better than rote lists. Remember that physiology questions reward precise language: name the process, the location, and the outcome, then match that to the option text.

Ref: Animal physiology is Unit 7 of the CSIR NET Life Science Syllabus, covering core body systems. It accounts for roughly 10% of the total marks in Sections B and C.

Vasopressin release increases in response to all EXCEPT:

The correct answer is D: Increase in extracellular fluid volume. In Endocrinology, this idea is central because it matches how the body actually works in everyday teaching examples. Put simply, the stem is asking for the statement that does not fit the usual rule, and Increase in extracellular fluid volume is that exception in the context of Endocrinology. That is why Increase in extracellular fluid volume is the option that holds up when you check it against basic physiology. When you revise, say the answer out loud with one short reason attached; that sticks better than rote lists. Remember that physiology questions reward precise language: name the process, the location, and the outcome, then match that to the option text.

Oxytocin secretion during childbirth is an example of:

Positive feedback (C) is the right choice. This sits at the heart of Endocrinology: the wording points straight to what is happening in the tissue or organ system. A useful study habit is to ask what the structure or process is for: Positive feedback is the option that correctly names the structure, process, or principle asked for in Endocrinology. That reasoning supports Positive feedback. One solid sentence about why this works is enough for recall — you do not need a long essay for every MCQ. When you practise, cover the choices first, write Positive feedback from memory, then reveal the letter — that habit builds real recall for Endocrinology.

Pituicytes of posterior pituitary are functionally similar to:

The correct answer is C: Astrocytes. In Endocrinology, this idea is central because it matches how the body actually works in everyday teaching examples. Put simply, the functional job described in the stem is exactly what Astrocytes does in Endocrinology. That is why Astrocytes is the option that holds up when you check it against basic physiology. When you revise, say the answer out loud with one short reason attached; that sticks better than rote lists. Remember that physiology questions reward precise language: name the process, the location, and the outcome, then match that to the option text. A short mental diagram helps — start from stimulus or structure, follow the pathway, and stop at the functional result described by Astrocytes.

Cell bodies of neurosecretory neurons releasing ADH and oxytocin are located in:

The correct answer is C: Paraventricular and supraoptic nuclei. In Endocrinology, this idea is central because it matches how the body actually works in everyday teaching examples. Put simply, location matters here: Paraventricular and supraoptic nuclei is the structure or site that matches the description. That is why Paraventricular and supraoptic nuclei is the option that holds up when you check it against basic physiology. When you revise, say the answer out loud with one short reason attached; that sticks better than rote lists. Remember that physiology questions reward precise language: name the process, the location, and the outcome, then match that to the option text.
