Here are the questions with their correct answers:
16) Total body water is measured byA. Deuterium oxide (Heavy water / D₂O) Deuterium oxide is a dilution indicator that distributes throughout all body water compartments, making it the standard tracer for measuring total body water (TBW).

17) The cell responsible for bone resorption areB. Osteoclast Osteoclasts are large multinucleated cells derived from monocyte/macrophage lineage. They secrete acids and proteases (cathepsin K) to break down bone matrix - this is bone resorption.
  • Osteoblasts = bone formation
  • Osteocytes = mechanosensing/maintenance
  • Chondroblasts = cartilage formation

18) Receptor for stretch reflex isA. Muscle spindle Muscle spindles (intrafusal fibers) are the sensory receptors that detect muscle stretch. When a muscle is stretched, Ia afferent fibers from spindles fire and cause a reflex contraction - this is the classic stretch reflex (e.g., knee-jerk reflex).
  • Golgi tendon organ detects tension (inverse stretch reflex)
  • Pacinian corpuscles detect vibration/pressure

19) The primary receptor responsible for colour vision isB. Cones Cones are concentrated in the fovea centralis and contain three types of photopigments (S, M, L) sensitive to different wavelengths of light, enabling colour discrimination. Rods are for low-light/scotopic vision only.

20) Sertoli cell secreteA. Androgen binding protein (ABP) Sertoli cells (nurse cells of the testis) secrete Androgen Binding Protein under FSH stimulation. ABP concentrates testosterone in the seminiferous tubules to support spermatogenesis.
  • Testosterone is secreted by Leydig cells (not Sertoli cells)
  • LH stimulates Leydig cells (it is a pituitary hormone, not secreted by Sertoli cells)
