True/False: In our body, approximately 8 litres of intestinal juices are secreted into the GI
n n n n n n n n n n n n n n
tract daily, but only 100 ml of water is secreted into the faeces. - correct answer-True

True/False: Normal movement of blood flow in the heart is: left atrium-left ventricle-lung-
n n n n n n n n n n n n
right atrium-right ventricle. - correct answer-False. Right atrium-right ventricle-lung-left
n n n n n n n n
atrium-left ventricle.

activities of many different organ systems to maintain homeostasis. - correct answer-

True
True/False: Specificity of hormone action in the target cells is determined by receptors. -

True/False: The area of nerve axon not wrapped by myelin sheath (non-myelinated
n n n n n n n n n n n
area) is called nodes of Ranvier where action potential is insulated. - correct answer-
n n n n n n n n n n n n n n
False. Myelin sheath insulates action potential. Action potential propagates faster by

skipping myelinated axon, and jumping from nodes of Ranvier to another node.
