Explanation:

Another type of connective tissue is  Fibrous Connective Tissue,. It is composed of large amounts of closely packed collagenous fibres.

The cavities of body organs such as the mouth, blood vessels, heart and lungs are lined by

  1. squamous epithelium

  2. simple cuboidal epithelium

  3. simple columnar epithelium

  4. ciliated columnar epithelium


Correct Option: A
Explanation:

Squamous cells have the appearance of thin, flat plates. The shape of the nucleus usually corresponds to the cell form and helps to identify the type of epithelium. They form the lining of cavities such as the mouth, blood vessels, heart and lungs, and make up the outer layers of the skin.

Which of the following fibrous connective tissues forms the skeletons of sharks?

  1. Chondrocytes

  2. Osteocytes

  3. Osteoblasts

  4. Osteocalcin


Correct Option: A
Explanation:

Chondrocytes are the only cells found in cartilage. They produce and maintain the cartilaginous matrix, which consists mainly of collagen and proteoglycans.

Which of the following bone tissues prevents the backflow of lymph?

  1. Periosteum

  2. Osseous tissue

  3. Endosteum

  4. Bone marrow


Correct Option: D
Explanation:

Bone marrow is the flexible tissue found in the interior of bones. In humans, marrow in large bones produces new blood cells. It constitutes 4% of the total body mass of humans, i.e. , approximately 2.6 kg (5.7 lbs.) in adults weighing 65 kg or 143 lbs. Bone marrow also prevents the backflow of lymph, working as a vital part of the lymphatic system.

Which of the following is not a type of muscle tissues?

  1. Smooth

  2. Skeletal

  3. Cardiac

  4. None of these


Correct Option: D
Explanation:

All above are the types of muscle tissues.

The study of bones is known as

  1. osteology

  2. anthropology

  3. epistemology

  4. archaeology


Correct Option: A
Explanation:

Osteology is the scientific study of bones. It is a detailed study of the structure of bones, skeletal elements, teeth, morphology, functions, diseases  and pathology.

Which of the following can be excluded from the functions of epithelial tissues?

  1. Protection

  2. Sensation

  3. Secretion

  4. None of these


Correct Option: D
Explanation:

Which of the following statements is wrong regarding the characteristic features of cartilage?

  1. It is insensitive

  2. It contains blood vessels

  3. It is surrounded by the perichondrium

  4. It does not contains calcium salts


Correct Option: B
Explanation:

Cartilage has no blood vessels or lymphatics and the nutrition of the cells diffuses through the matrix. This explains the slow  healing  in cartilages.

Muscle cells are surrounded by

  1. myocyte

  2. desmosome

  3. sarcolemma

  4. tendons


Correct Option: C
Explanation:

The sarcolemma is the cell membrane of a muscle cell (skeletal, cardiac, and smooth muscle). It consists of a true cell membrane, called the plasma membrane, and an outer coat made up of a thin layer of polysaccharide material that contains numerous thin collagen fibrils.

The connective tissue surrounding the cartilage of developing bones is known as

  1. peritoneum

  2. myocardium

  3. perichondrium

  4. pericardium


Correct Option: C
Explanation:

The perichondrium is a layer of dense irregular connective tissues which surrounds the cartilage of developing bones. It consists of two separate layers: an outer fibrous layer and inner chondrogenic layer. The fibrous layer contains fibroblasts, which produce collagenous fibres.

Muscles in the body are surrounded by

  1. epimysium

  2. perimysium

  3. elastin

  4. endomysium


Correct Option: A
Explanation:

The epimysium is the outermost layer of dense, irregular, connective tissue that surrounds and holds muscles in the body. It is continuous with the perimysium and endomysium of a muscle. The primary function of the epimysium is to combine with these other muscular connective tissues to form a thick, collagenous cord of tissue known as a tendon.
