Question Discussion & Solution

The correct answer is Liver. 

Key Points

• The liver is the largest gland in the human body.
  • It is made up of specialized cells called hepatocytes.
  • It is situated on the right side of the stomach in the human body.
  • The study of the liver is called hepatology.
  • It is the largest metabolic organ in the human body.
  • It is the organ that stores a large amount of vitamin A.
  • Ammonia and urea are produced in the liver.
  • Hepatitis is a viral disease that affects the liver.
  • The liver is known as the "chemical lab of the human body".
  • The liver is the highest temperature-producing organ.

Additional Information

• The brain is the center of coordination in the human body.
• The pancreas secretes enzymes and hormones.
  • Insulin and glucagon are the hormones secreted by Pancreas.
• The thyroid gland is the largest endocrine gland in the human body.
  • Thyroxin and calcitonin are the hormones secreted by the thyroid gland.
• Pituitary Gland
  • The pituitary gland is a gland that is located at the base of the brain and right behind the bridge of the nose. It is mainly responsible for sexual maturation, reproduction, etc.
  • The pituitary gland is also called the 'master endocrine gland' and it is a small pea-sized gland.
  • The pituitary gland is controlled by Hypothalamus. 
  • The hypothalamus sends signals to the pituitary to release or inhibit pituitary hormone production.
  • The pituitary is called the master gland because it controls various other glands.
  • Hence, it could be concluded that the pituitary gland is also called the 'master endocrine gland' because it regulates the activities of other endocrine glands.

The correct answer is option 3.

Concept:

A semaphore is a variable or abstract data type used to control access to a common resource by multiple threads and avoid critical section problems in a concurrent system such as a multitasking operating system.

Explanation:

Starvation is a problem that happens when high-priority processes continue to run while low priority processes are halted indefinitely. A continual stream of higher-priority processes in a densely loaded computer system can prevent a low-priority operation from ever receiving the CPU.

Indefinite blocking or starvation is a situation in which processes wait indefinitely within the semaphore. Indefinite blocking may occur if we remove processes from the list associated with a semaphore in LIFO (last-in, first-out) order.

Hence the correct answer is starvation.

Additional InformationCritical section:

 The critical section is the section of code in which processes access and write to shared resources such as common variables and files. Because processes run continuously, any process can be interrupted in the middle of its execution.

Below are a few types of Unconditional Control Structures

The “break” Statement

A break statement terminates the execution of the loop and the control is transferred to the statement immediately following the loop. 

Syntax : Jump-statement;  break;

The “continue” Statement

The continue statement is used to bypass the remainder of the current pass through a loop.

 Syntax : Jump-statement;  Continue;

The “goto” Statement

C supports the “goto” statement to branch unconditionally from one point to another in the program.

Syntax :

goto label;
.............
.............
.............
label:
statement;

Return Statement :

The return statement terminates the execution of a function and returns control to the calling function. Execution resumes in the calling function at the point immediately following the call.

 Syntax : Jump-statement: return expression;

 Therefore answer is goto statement i.e, Option 4
