Question 15:
Match List I with List II:
| List I Condition/Structure |
List II Description |
|---|---|
| A. Hypokalemia | I. Sweat glands |
| B. Hypocapnia | II. CO2 |
| C. Sudoriferous glands | III. Spermatogenesis |
| D. Sertoli cells | IV. Potassium |
Choose the correct answer from the options given below:
Hypokalemia Hypocapnia Glands Matching
This matching question links physiological conditions and structures to their descriptions. The correct option is (D).
Correct Answer
(D) (A) – (IV), (B) – (II), (C) – (I), (D) – (III)
Hypokalemia matches potassium deficiency (IV), hypocapnia matches low CO2 (II), sudoriferous glands are sweat glands (I), and Sertoli cells support spermatogenesis (III).
Match Explanations
-
A. Hypokalemia → IV. Potassium: Hypokalemia means low blood potassium levels, an electrolyte imbalance affecting muscles and heart.
-
B. Hypocapnia → II. CO2: Hypocapnia is reduced carbon dioxide in blood, often from hyperventilation.
-
C. Sudoriferous glands → I. Sweat glands: Sudoriferous glands produce sweat; they are synonymous with sweat glands for thermoregulation.
-
D. Sertoli cells → III. Spermatogenesis: Sertoli cells in testes nurture sperm development during spermatogenesis.
Option Analysis
-
(A): Wrong; C-III mismatches sweat glands with spermatogenesis.
-
(B): Wrong; C-III and D-I swap glands and cells.
-
(C): Wrong; A-III links low potassium to sperm production.
-
(D): Correct; all pairs align precisely.
| Option | A | B | C | D | Status |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| A | IV | III | I | II | Wrong |
| B | IV | II | III | I | Wrong |
| C | III | I | IV | II | Wrong |
| D | IV | II | I | III | Correct |
Exam Preparation Tips
Recall definitions: hypo- means low, so hypokalemia and hypocapnia CO2. Sudoriferous = sweat-producing; Sertoli cells are key in male reproduction. Practice similar match-ups for NEET-style questions.
