When a stimulus is applied at a site on the polarised membrane, the membrane at that site becomes freely permeable to
Na+ and the closed voltage gated Na+ channels open allowing Na+ ions to enter into the neuron, due to which the outer
surface of membrane becomes negatively charged.

Androgens have erythropoietic effect on the male body but estrogen does not have erythropoietic effect.

(174) Answer : (4)

Solution:
Resting membrane potential is maintained by the sodium-potassium pump.
Neurons are excitable cells because their membranes are in a polarised state. The electrical potential difference across
resting plasma membrane is called the resting potential. The potential difference across the plasma membrane in
depolarised state is called action potential, which is in fact termed as nerve impulse.

 Solution:
It is due to negative feedback suppression of the anterior pituitary and hypothalamus by glucocorticoid.
(177) Answer : (2)
Hint:
Aldosterone is a salt retaining hormone.
Solution:
Aldosterone increases reabsorption of Na+ and Cl– from filtrate and promotes secretion of K+ and phosphate ions. So, in
case of tumor formation, increased release of aldosterone will lead to decrease in Na+ but increase in K+ in urine.
