#vasopressin MCQ

3 public questions tagged with this topic.

Endocrinology

Vasoconstrictor action of vasopressin is mediated through:

Pick C: V1 receptors in vascular smooth muscle. 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: V1 receptors in vascular smooth muscle is the option that correctly names the structure, process, or principle asked for in Endocrinology. Hence V1 receptors in vascular smooth muscle 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.

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 mediates water reabsorption in kidney by acting on:

Pick B: V2 receptors via cAMP. Thinking about Endocrinology in a practical way — what the structure does, or what the process achieves — leads you here.

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.
