Which of the following is an agranulocyte?

  1. Eosinophil

  2. Basophil

  3. Neutrophil

  4. Lymphocyte


Correct Option: D
Explanation:

These do not contain granules in them. Hence, they are placed under the category of agranulocytes.

Concave surfaces of mammalian RBCs are helpful in

  1. providing more space for hemoglobin

  2. formation of more hemoglobin

  3. increasing surface area of RBCs

  4. reducing surface tension of plasma membrane


Correct Option: C
Explanation:

Concave surfaces do increase the surface areas of RBCs.

Increase in the level of bilirubin results in

  1. jaundice

  2. leukemia

  3. toxemia of blood

  4. anemia


Correct Option: A
Explanation:

Bilirubin accumulates in the blood plasma providing yellowish tint to the skin resulting in jaundice.

The impulse of heart beat originates in

  1. SA node

  2. AV node

  3. Chordae tendineae

  4. Purkinje fibres


Correct Option: A
Explanation:

It is the pacemaker of the heart as it sets the rhythm of the heart.

Deoxygenated blood flows to right atrium by

  1. pulmonary veins

  2. superior and inferior vena cava

  3. aorta

  4. coronary veins


Correct Option: B
Explanation:

These are the two large veins, which carry deoxygenated blood to the right atrium.

Name the genetic disorder that occurs due to altered beta polypeptide chain of the globin portion of the hemoglobin.

  1. Pernicious anemia

  2. Sickle cell anemia

  3. Mononucleosis

  4. Aplastic anemia


Correct Option: B
Explanation:

In this, beta chain of globin molecule is altered due to replacement of single amino acid that results in sickling of  RBCs thus, making them defective.

Which of the following is not needed in blood clotting?

  1. Vitamin K

  2. Calcium

  3. Prothrombin

  4. Erythrocytes


Correct Option: D
Explanation:

These do not help in blood clotting.

Nucleus and mitochondria are not found in

  1. WBCs of mammals

  2. Young immature mammalian erythocytes

  3. Mature mammalian erythrocytes

  4. RBCs of frog


Correct Option: C
Explanation:

During the development of erythrocytes, mitochondria and nucleus are lost to give extra space for the storage of hemoglobin.

The correct route through which pulse making impulse travels in the heart is

  1. AV node--------Bundle of HIS---------SA node----------Purkinje fibres---------------Heart muscles

  2. AV node-------- SA node ------------- Purkinje fibres----------- Bundle of HIS--------- Heart muscles

  3. SA node------- AV node ---------------Bundle of HIS------------- Purkinje fibres-------------------Heart muscles

  4. SA node -------- Purkinje fibres--------------Bundle of HIS----------AV node--------------- Heart muscles


Correct Option: C
Explanation:

This is the correct sequence.

Which of the following has a thicker myocardium?

  1. Right atrium

  2. Left atrium

  3. Right ventricle

  4. Left ventricle


Correct Option: D
Explanation:

It has a thicker myocardium than the right ventricle or both the atriums as it has to push oxygenated blood to longer distances to all the body parts and also through more blood vessels.

Which of the following heart diseases is associated with myocardial ischemic disease?

  1. Atherosclerosis

  2. Arrthymia

  3. Heart murmur

  4. Dextrocardia


Correct Option: A
Explanation:

Due to deposition of plaques in the lumen of the arteries, their diameters become narrow. This obstructs the blood flow to that part of the heart leading to a heart attack or myocardial infarction.

The volume of blood pumped by each ventricle in one minute, i.e. cardiac output is determined by

  1. epinephrine, autonomus nervous system

  2. stroke volume and pulse rate

  3. blood pressure

  4. coronary circulation


Correct Option: B
Explanation:

Stroke volume is the volume of the blood ejected by each ventricle at each contraction whereas the pulse rate is the number of heart beats per minute.

Congenital heart defect in babies is known as

  1. coronary heart disease

  2. myocarditis

  3. bradycardia

  4. cyanosis


Correct Option: D
Explanation:

It results from lack of oxygen due to a hole between the right and left sides of the heart. This condition is also called as blue baby syndrome.

WBCs accumulate at the site of wound by

  1. diapedesis

  2. hemostasis

  3. phagocytosis

  4. breaking of capillaries


Correct Option: A
Explanation:

It is a process in which WBCs squeeze themselves through the capillaries and reach the site of wound.

Which of the following has a higher affinity for the iron of hemoglobin?

  1. Oxygen

  2. Carbon monoxide

  3. Carbon dioxide

  4. All of these have the same affinities


Correct Option: B
Explanation:

Its affinity is about 200 times greater than oxygen for the iron of hemoglobin.
