4 public questions tagged with this topic.

Graves’ disease is caused by presence of:

The correct answer is B: TSH receptor antibodies. In Endocrinology, this idea is central because it matches how the body actually works in everyday teaching examples. Put simply, cause and effect line up with TSH receptor antibodies — that is the mechanism or reason the stem is pointing to. That is why TSH receptor antibodies 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.

Empty sella syndrome primarily affects the:

Pick B: Sella turcica. Thinking about Endocrinology in a practical way — what the structure does, or what the process achieves — leads you here. Clinically and academically, the same logic shows up again and again: the functional job described in the stem is exactly what Sella turcica does in Endocrinology. Hence Sella turcica is correct. Treat this as a building block for the rest of Endocrinology; neighbouring topics often reuse the same principle. Keep a one-line summary card for this idea and revisit it before the paper; short, repeated review beats long cramming sessions. If the wording feels dense, translate it into everyday language first, then map that plain sentence back onto Sella turcica.

Hyperprolactinemia mainly affects:

Answer: B) Fertility and reproduction. For Endocrinology, once you lock onto the key mechanism or definition, Fertility and reproduction is the clear fit. If you restate the concept in your own words, the functional job described in the stem is exactly what Fertility and reproduction does in Endocrinology. So Fertility and reproduction is the clean, accurate selection. If a similar stem appears later, start from the same core fact and you will land on the same kind of answer. In class notes, highlight this same phrase next to the related diagram so the wording and the picture reinforce each other.

Excess growth hormone secretion in adults leads to:

The correct answer is C: Acromegaly. In Endocrinology, this idea is central because it matches how the body actually works in everyday teaching examples. Put simply, Acromegaly is the option that correctly names the structure, process, or principle asked for in Endocrinology. That is why Acromegaly 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.
