1.

Write a paragraph on egestion.

Answer»

The digestive waste and unabsorbed substances in the ileum enter into the large intestine and it mostly contains fibre called roughage. The roughage is utilized by symbiotic bacteria in the large intestine for the production of substances like vitamin K and other metabolites. All these substances are absorbed in the colon along with water.

The waste is then solidified into fecal matter in the rectum. The fecal matter initiates a neural reflex causing an urge or desire for its removal. The egestion of feces through the anal opening is called defecation. It is a voluntary process and is carried out by a peristaltic movement.

2.

Name the cells that secrete mucus. What are the functions of mucus?

Answer»

Goblet cells secrete mucus. They are found in mucosal epithelium and are called mucus glands. 

Functions of mucus: 

(i) Mucus acts as lubricant. 

(ii) It protects the epithelial surface from excoriation and digestion

3.

How do proteins differ from fats in their energy value and their role in the body?

Answer»

The calorific value and physiological fiel value of one gram of protein are 5.65 Kcal and 4 Kcal respectively. Fat has a calorific value of 9.45 Kcal and the physiological fuel value of 9 Kcal per gram. Proteins are the source of amino acids required for growth and repair of body cells. They are stored in the body only to a certain extent. They replace the worn out protoplasm. They are important for the production of many enzymes. hormones and plasma. The catabolism of amino acids releases toxic nitrogenous wastes which are removed by the kidneys.

(ii) Hence no protein digestion takes place. 

(iii) It will not kill bacteria in the stomach (anti-septicaction).

9.

Write on carbohydrates and lipids.

Answer»

Carbohydrates are sugar and starch. These are the major source of cellular fuel which provides energy. The caloric value of carbohydrate is 4.1 calories per gram and its physiological fuel value is 4 Kcal per gram. Lipids are fats and derivatives of fats, are also the best reserved food stored in our body which is used for production of energy. Fat has a caloric value of 9.45 Kcal and a physiological fuel value of 9 Kcal per gram.

10.

12.

Write a short note on the small intestine.

Answer»

The small intestine assists in the final digestion and absorption of food. It is the longest part of the alimentary canal and has three regions, a ‘U’ shaped duodenum (25 cm long), a long coiled middle portion jejunum (2.4m long) and a highly coiled ileum (3.5 m long).

The wall of the duodenum has Brunner’s glands which secrete mucus and enzymes. Ileum is the ongest part of the small intestine and opens into the caecum of the large intestine.

The ileal mucosa has numerous vascular projections called villi which are involved in the process of absorption and the cells lining the villi produce numerous microscopic projections called microvilli giving a brush border appearance that increase the surface area enormously.

Along with Villi, the ileal mucosa also contain mucus secreting goblet cells and lymphoid tissue known as Peyer’s patches which produce lymphocytes. The wall of the small intestine bears crypts between the base of villi called crypts of Leiberkuhn.

13.

Hydrochloric acid (HCl) and proteolytic enzymes produced by stomach do not digest its own wall, why?

Answer»

Hydrochloric acid (HCI) does not act on the wall on the stomach because the wall is covered by mucous, which forms a barrier. The proteolytic enzymes also do not reach the wall because of this factor.

14.

Why are carbohydrates more suitable for the production of energy?

Answer»

Carbohydrates are more suitable for the production of energy in the body than proteins and fats because carbohydrate molecules contain relatively more oxygen than the others, hence require less molecular oxygen for oxidation. Carbohydrates are also stored in the body cells as glycogen and are used for the production of energy whenever required.

15.

In small intestine, active absorption occurs in case of …………(a) Glucose (b) Amino acids (c) Na+ (d) All the above

Answer»

(d) All the above

16.

How is peristalsis produced?

Answer»

(i) Peristalsis is produced by involuntary contraction of circular muscles in the oesophagus lying above the bolus and simultaneous contraction of the longitudinal muscles lying below the bolus. 

(ii) Contraction of the longitudinal muscles shortens the lower part of the oesophagus, pushing its walls outward so that it can receive the bolus. 

(iii) After this, circular muscles of the oesophagus relax. 

(iv) The contractions are repeated in a wave that moves down the oesophagus, pushing the food towards the stomach.

17.

Which one of the following occurs due to reverse peristalsis? (a) Vomiting (b) Diarrhoea(c) Constipation (d) Indigestion

Answer»

Correct Answer is: (a) Vomiting

18.

What is peristalsis? What is its function?

Answer»

It is a wave of contraction of the circular muscle fibers passing along the stomach and oesophagus wall just behind a wave of relaxation. Due to this food is pushed into the relaxed portion.

19.

Since joule is a very small unit of heat energy, so the calorific value is usually expressed as kilojoules per gram (kJ/g). hydrogen gas has the highest calorific value of 150 kilojoules per gram. Thus, because of its high calorific value, hydrogen is an extremely good fuel. Most of the common fuels are the compounds of hydrogen and carbon called 'hydrocarbons'.

Quarantine Period: It means separation from neighbours and relatives, of the persons who have been in contact with the patient, for a specific length of time equal to the incubation period of that disease. During this period either the persons separated will be cured of the disease or the symptoms of the disease will appear.

समायोजन बही (हवालामेल) के बारे में विस्तृत जानकारी दीजिए ।

Answer»

वर्ष के अंत में कुछ खातों को बंद करके अन्य खाते ले जाने के लिए तथा समायोजनों की असर दर्शाने के लिए जो बही तैयार की जाती है उसे समायोजन बही कहते हैं ।

समायोजन बही में प्रविष्टि करने के लिए वर्ष के अंत में या निश्चित समय के अंत में रोजमेल या बैठोमेल के अन्तिम पन्नों में समायोजन बही लिखी जाती है । समायोजन बही में भी रोजमेल की तरह ही लेखा किया जाता है ।

समायोजन बही का दूसरा नाम जमाखर्ची बही, मांडछाड़ बही या अचल बही भी है । समायोजन बही कच्चे खाते बंद करने, अंतिम . स्टॉक, चुकानी बाकी खर्च, पूर्वदत्त खर्च, अप्राप्त आवक, अंतिम प्राप्त आवक, मिलकत पर घिसाई, डुबत ऋण, भंडोल पर ब्याज तथा भुलसुधार के व्यवहारों को लिखने के लिए बनायी जाती है । सभी समायोजनों की असर करने के बाद वार्षिक हिसाब तैयार : का लाभ या हानि ज्ञात किया जाता है, जिसकी समायोजन बही में असर दर्शायी जाती है । समायोजन बही के दोनों तरफ का योग समान होता है ।

36.

देशीनामा पद्धति में मालवायसी के व्यवहारों का लेखा किस प्रकार होता है, यह समझाइए ।

Answer»

देशीनामा में मालवापसी के व्यवहारों को लिखने के लिए अलग से कोई बही नहीं रखी जाती है । परन्तु माल वापसी की हिसाबी असर उधार बही तथा जमा बही में ही दर्शायी जाती है । यदि मालवापसी रोकड़ से हुई हो तो उसका लेखा रोजमेल या बैठोमेल में किया जाता है ।

उधार माल खरीद वापसी : जिस महिने में उधार माल की खरीदी हुई हो उसी महिने में उसमें से माल वापस किया जाय तब माल वापसी की रकम को उधार माल खरीदी की रकम में से घटाकर शेष रकम ही जमानोंध में लिखी जाती है । इस प्रकार जब खरीदी का व्यवहार हो तो उसकी रकम प्रथम खाने में लिखने के बदले अंदर के दूसरे खाने में लिखी जाती है जिससे यदि माल वापस हुआ हो तो उसे घटाकर शुद्ध (अंतिम) रकम ही प्रथम खाने में लिखी जाती है ।

यदि पिछले महिने खरीदे माल में से खरीद वापसी की जाय तो उसे उधार बिक्री समझकर उधारबही में लिखा जाता है । उधार माल बिक्री वापसी : जिस महिने में माल बेचा गया हो यदि उसी महिने में माल वापस आए तो उसे उधार माल बिक्री की रकम में से घटाया जाता है । इस प्रकार मास के अंत में बिक्री में से वापसी घटाकर अंतिम रकम ही प्रथम खाने में लिखी जाती है ।

यदि पिछले महिने बेचे माल में से माल वापस आया हो तो उसे उधार खरीदी समझकर जमाबही में लिखा जाता है ।
