Some tranquilizers are listed below. Which one from the following belong barbiturates?
Some tranquilizers are listed below. Which one from the following belong barbiturates?
Meprobamate
Valium
Veronal
Chlordiazepoxide
The Correct Option is C
Solution and Explanation
Veronal, also known as Diethylbarbituric acid or Barbitone, is a barbiturate drug used as a sedative-hypnotic. Barbiturates are a class of central nervous system depressants that have various effects, including sedation, sleep induction, and anti-anxiety properties. They are known to act as GABA receptor agonists, leading to their calming effects. Veronal was one of the earlier barbiturates used as a sleep aid but is now less commonly prescribed due to the potential for dependence and abuse.
Therefore, The correct option is (C): Veronal

Biomolecules - Hormones
Hormones are defined as important chemicals that act as messengers of the body. These are the chemicals that are secreted by special glands, known as endocrine glands and these distributed throughout the body. It helps in controlling of physiological functions. Moreover, they are important while maintaining homeostasis in the body. The entire endocrine system is a network of glands. Hormones are almost same as the nervous system. Functioning of various body functions it plays an important role. The only difference between the nervous system and hormones that nervous system uses nerve impulses and neurotransmitters for communication, while the endocrine system uses chemical messengers named hormones.
Types of Hormones:
- Peptide Hormones: Peptide hormones include amino acids that are soluble in water. Insulin is a vital peptide hormone that is produced by the pancreas.
- Steroid Hormones: Unlike peptide hormones, steroid hormones are fat-soluble and can easily pass through a cell membrane with ease. Sex hormones like testosterone, estrogen, etc. are some of the kinds of steroid hormones.
