correct acting?
according to a) Lobeline
statement b) Edrophonium
c) piloca
d) isoflurophate
e) Atropine
Explanation: Edrophonium is reversible indirect acting
cholinomimetic where as isoflurophate is irreversible indirect
acting cholinomimetic.As both are indirect cholinomimetic
that’s why B and D both are correct
4 Endocrine 147 Option C was Which molecule confers glucocorticoid activity on the
wrong corticoid molecule

Option B is b) The hydroxyl group at carbon 11
correct c) The keto group at carbon 3.
d) The keto group at carbon 11.
e) The hydroxyl group at carbon 20.
Correct Answer B
• 11 beta hydroxy is required for glucocorticoid activity
• UHS SKILL POINT: 21-OH require for
minrelocorticoid activity
• 3 keto essential for activity of both Gluco and
mineralocorticoid

25 Typing mistake The site of action of miotics for therapeutic effect in
in options angle closure glaucoma is:
A. Canal of Schlemm
Wrong B. Ciliary body
Answer(A) C. Ciliary muscle
D. Sphincter pupillae muscle
Correct
Correct Answer d
answer(D)
The site of action of miotics for therapeutic effect in angle
closure glaucoma is the sphincter pupillae muscle. Miotics,
also known as cholinomimetic agents, stimulate the
contraction of the sphincter pupillae muscle, which results
in the constriction of the pupil. This leads to increased
outflow of aqueous humor from the eye, which helps to
reduce intraocular pressure (IOP) in patients with angle
closure glaucoma
