Answer 1

21. ANS: b. Thrombin

Fibrinogen is always present in the blood but the blood does not clot, because the thrombin must normally be absent. The thrombin system consists of several blood proteins that, when bleeding occurs, become activated. The activated clotting proteins engage in a cascade of chemical reactions that finally produce a substance called fibrin.

34. ANS: c.It is secreted by the corpus luteum of pregnancy.

Human chorionic gonadotropin is secreted by placenta.

44. ANS: d. both a & b are correct

During inspiration, air flows from the higher pressure at the mouth down the lungs into the lower pressure in the alveoli.

Breathing In (Inhalation) when you breathe in, or inhale, your diaphragm contracts (tightens) and moves downward.

47. ANS: a. is decreased continually throughout her reproductive life from puberty to menopause.

Oogenesis is not a continuous process throughout the life of a female, unlike spermatogenesis in the male. oogenesis begins with the formation of primary oocytes in a process known as oocytogenesis. This occurs before birth.
