Some of the questions and their solutions from NCERT Solutions for Class 11: Chemical Coordination and Integration, are as follows:
Q. Define the following:
(a) Exocrine gland
(b) Endocrine gland
(c) Hormone Answer
Ans. (a) Exocrine glands: Glands that discharge secretions into ducts are known as exocrine glands. Sebaceous gland in the skin, salivary gland in the buccal cavity, etc. are examples of exocrine glands.
(b) Endocrine glands: Glands that do not discharge their secretions into ducts are known as endocrine glands. Instead, these glands discharge their secretions directly into the blood. Pituitary gland, thyroid gland, adrenal gland, etc. are examples of endocrine glands.
(c) Hormones: Hormones are chemical messengers that regulate physiological processes in living organisms. They act upon specific cells/tissues/organs which are called target cells/tissues/organs.
Q. Which hormone deficiency is responsible for the following?
(a) Diabetes mellitus
(b) Goitre
(c) Cretinism
Ans. (a) Diabetes mellitus is characterized by abnormally high glucose levels in the blood due to the deficiency of hormone, called insulin.
(b) Goitre is characterised by an abnormal enlargement of the thyroid gland due to the deficiency of thyroxin hormone in the body.
(c) Cretinism is characterized by stunted growth in the baby due to the deficiency of thyroid hormone in the body.
Q. Give example(s) of:
(a) Hyperglycemic hormone and hypoglycemic hormone
(b) Hypercalcemic hormone
(c) Gonadotrophic hormones
(d) Progestational hormone
(e) Blood pressure lowering hormone
(f) Androgens and estrogens
Ans. (a) Hyperglycemic hormone and hypoglycemic hormone: Hyperglycemic hormone is glucagon, while hypoglycemic hormone is insulin.
(b) Hypercalcemic hormone: Parathyroid hormone (PTH) is hypercalcemic hormone.
(c) Gonadotrophic hormones: Luteinizing hormone and follicle stimulating hormones are examples of gonadotrophic hormone.
(d) Progestational hormone: Progesterone is a progestational hormone.
(e) Blood pressure lowering hormone: Nor-adrenalin is a blood pressure lowering hormone.
(f) Androgens and estrogens: Testosterone is an example of androgen, while an example of estrogen is estradiol.
