A young infant may be feeding entirely on mother's milk, which is white in colour but the stools, which the infant passes out are quite yellowish. What is this yellow colour due to?
1. Intestinal juice
2. Bile pigments passed through bile juice
3. Undigested milk protein casein
4. Pancreatic juice poured into duodenum

What will happen if the secretion of parietal cells of gastric glands is blocked with an inhibitor?
1. Gastric juice will be deficient in chymosin
2. Gastric juice will be deficient in pepsinogen
3. In the absence of HCl secretion, inactive pepsinogen is not converted into the active enzyme pepsin
4. Enterokinase will not be released from the duodenal mucosa and so trypsinogen is not converted to trypsin

Which one of the following is the correct matching of the site of action on the given substrate, the enzyme acting upon it and the end product?
1. Duodenum :Triglycerides→Trypsin→Monoglycerides
2. Small intestine :Starch→α-amylase→Disaccharide (maltose)
3. Small intestine :Proteins→Pepsin→Amino Acids
4. Stomach :Fats→ Lipase→Micelles

Which one of the following is a fat-soluble vitamin and its related deficiency disease?

3. Cobalamine - Beri-Beri
4. Calciferol - Pellagra

Which of the following teeth are lophodont?
1. Incisor and canine
2. Canine and premolar

Which of the following digestive juices has the minimum pH value?
1. Bile

The vitamin nicotinamide can be synthesized in our body from

Excessive stimulation of vagus nerve in humans may lead to:

2. peptic ulcers
3. efficient digestion of proteins
4. irregular contractions of diaphragm.

3. Kupffer cells --- a digestive enzyme that hydrolyses nucleic acids
4. Sebaceous glands --- a secretion that evaporates for cooling
