(d) Gap junction – Facilitates the cells to communicate with each other
Show Answer & Explanation
Answer: (a) Tight junction – Promotes leaking of substances across a tissue
Explanation:
1. Tight junctions prevent leakage across a tissue, so saying they promote leaking is incorrect.
Teacher's Note:
1. Tight junctions seal.
(a) Elastic cartilage
(b) Hyaline cartilage
(c) Calcified cartilage
(d) Fibrous cartilage
Show Answer & Explanation
Answer: (b) Hyaline cartilage
Explanation:
1. The nasal septum is made of hyaline cartilage.
Teacher's Note:
1. Hyaline is the commonest cartilage.
(a) Calcified cartilage
(b) Hyaline cartilage
(c) Elastic cartilage
(d) Fibrous cartilage
Show Answer & Explanation
Answer: (b) Hyaline cartilage
Explanation:
1. Hyaline cartilage covers the ends of long bones at joints (articular cartilage).
Teacher's Note:
1. Smooth surface.
(a) It becomes flexible
(b) It turns black
(c) It breaks into pieces
(d) It shrinks
Show Answer & Explanation
Answer: (a) It becomes flexible
Explanation:
1. Dilute acid dissolves the calcium salts of bone, leaving the flexible collagen matrix.
Teacher's Note:
1. Decalcified bone is rubbery.
(a) Histamine
(b) Heparin
(c) Serotonin
(d) Fibrinogen
Show Answer & Explanation
Answer: (a) Histamine
Explanation:
1. Mast cells release histamine, the inflammatory substance in allergic reactions.
Teacher's Note:
1. Antihistamines block it.
(a) Mast cells
(b) Eosinophils
(c) Mast cells and basophils
(d) Eosinophils and mast cells
Show Answer & Explanation
Answer: (c) Mast cells and basophils
Explanation:
1. Both mast cells and basophils have granules containing heparin and histamine.
Teacher's Note:
1. Eosinophils fight allergy and parasites.
(a) Centre of skull bones
(b) Patella
(c) Scapula
(d) Centre of intervertebral disc
Show Answer & Explanation
Answer: (d) Centre of intervertebral disc
Explanation:
1. The nucleus pulposus is the soft gelatinous centre of an intervertebral disc.
Teacher's Note:
1. Disc has annulus fibrosus around it.
(a) We are usually able to make it contract merely by thinking about it
(b) It has alternate light and dark bands
(c) Its muscle fibre taper at both ends
(d) Its muscle fibres are bundled together in a parallel fashion
Show Answer & Explanation
Answer: (c) Its muscle fibre taper at both ends
Explanation:
1. Biceps is skeletal muscle with striations and parallel bundles; fibres tapering at both ends is a feature of smooth muscle, so it is not a feature of biceps.
Teacher's Note:
1. Skeletal muscle fibres are cylindrical.
(a) Iris - Involuntary smooth muscle
(b) Heart wall - Involuntary unstriated muscle
(c) Biceps of upper arm - Smooth muscle fibres
(d) Abdominal wall - Smooth muscle
Show Answer & Explanation
Answer: (a) Iris - Involuntary smooth muscle
Explanation:
1. Iris contains involuntary smooth muscle; heart wall is cardiac muscle, biceps and abdominal wall use skeletal muscle.
Teacher's Note:
1. Match muscle type with organ.
(a) Embryos
(b) Dorsal root ganglia of spinal cord
(c) Brain
(d) Retina
Show Answer & Explanation
Answer: (a) Embryos
Explanation:
1. Unipolar neurons with an axon and no dendrite occur in the embryo (they later become pseudounipolar in dorsal root ganglia).
Teacher's Note:
1. Embryonic type.
(a) Involuntary, fusiform, non-striated
(b) Voluntary, multinucleate, cylindrical
(c) Involuntary, cylindrical, striated
(d) Voluntary, spindle-shaped, uninucleate
Show Answer & Explanation
Answer: (a) Involuntary, fusiform, non-striated
Explanation:
1. Smooth muscles are involuntary, fusiform (spindle shaped) and non-striated.
Teacher's Note:
1. Found in walls of internal organs.
(a) Cuboidal epithelium Lining of stomach
(b) Smooth muscle Wall of intestine
(c) Areolar tissue Tendons
(d) Transitional epithelium Tip of nose
Show Answer & Explanation
Answer: (b) Smooth muscle Wall of intestine
Explanation:
1. Smooth muscle forms the wall of the intestine. Stomach lining is columnar epithelium, tendons are dense connective tissue and the tip of the nose is cartilage.
Teacher's Note:
1. Match tissue and site.
(a) Stop substance from leaking across a tissue.
(b) Performing cementing to keep neighbouring cells together.
(c) Facilitate communication between adjoining cells by connecting the cytoplasm for rapid transfer of ions, small molecules and some large molecules.
(d) Separate two cells from each other.
Show Answer & Explanation
Answer: (c) Facilitate communication between adjoining cells by connecting the cytoplasm for rapid transfer of ions, small molecules and some large molecules.
Explanation:
1. Gap junctions connect the cytoplasm of adjoining cells for rapid transfer of ions, small molecules and some large molecules.
Teacher's Note:
1. Communication channels.
(a) Tendon - Specialized connective tissue
(b) Adipose tissue - Dense connective tissue
(c) Areolar tissue - Loose connective tissue
(d) Cartilage - Loose connective tissue
Show Answer & Explanation
Answer: (c) Areolar tissue - Loose connective tissue
Explanation:
1. Areolar tissue is a loose connective tissue; adipose is loose, tendon is dense and cartilage is specialised.
Teacher's Note:
1. Types of connective tissue.
(a) Inner lining of salivary ducts - Ciliated epithelium
(b) Moist surface of buccal cavity-Glandular epithelium
(c) Tubular parts of nephrons-Cuboidal epithelium
