Which of the following organs contain(s) smooth muscles?

  1. Blood vessels

  2. Iris of the eye

  3. Bronchi

  4. All of the above


Correct Option: D
Explanation:

Smooth muscles are spindle-shaped and are under involuntary control. They are seen in the internal organs such as the blood vessels, iris and the lung bronchi. In the blood vessels, they enable the blood flow. In iris, they increase the pupil size in the presence of bright light. They help in lung contraction and relaxation due to their presence in bronchioles. Thus the correct answer is option D.

Which of the following tissues is made up of long contractile cells packed with actin and myosin microfilaments?

  1. Epithelial tissue

  2. Adipose tissue

  3. Fibrous connective tissue

  4. Nervous tissue

  5. Muscle tissue


Correct Option: E
Explanation:

Muscles contract via the action of proteins actin and myosin. Both these proteins are present as microfilaments. Actin forms the thin filaments of muscle cells and myosin forms the thick filaments.

So, the correct answer is 'Muscle tissue'.

Myology is the study of

  1. Muscles

  2. Bones

  3. Cartilages

  4. None of the above


Correct Option: A
Explanation:

"Myo" refers to "Muscles". Myology is the study of the muscular system, including the study of the structure, function, and diseases of muscle.

Which of the following cells are found in areolar tissue?

  1. Mast cells

  2. Plasma cells

  3. Histiocytes

  4. All of these


Correct Option: D
Explanation:

Areolar Tissue is a common form of loose connective tissue. Areolar tissue is found in many locations around the body.

Areolar Tissue is loose connective tissue that consists of a meshwork of collagen, elastic tissue, and reticular fibres - with many connective tissue cells in between the meshwork of fibres.
The fibres that form the mesh structure of areolar tissue include:

Collagen fibres, elastic fibres, reticular fibres
The different types of cells embedded within the areolar tissue include:
Fibroblasts, plasma cells, adipocytes, mast cells and macrophages (The histiocyte is a tissue macrophage). 

So the answer 'All of these'. 

Different types of cells are given below.

[Hepatocytes, WBC's, Basophils, Fibroblasts, Plasma cells, Mast cells, Osteocytes, Chondrobiasts.]

Identify the cells that are found embedded in the matrix of areolar tissue and select the correct option.

  1. Fibrobiasts, Hepatocytes, Mast cells, Osteocytes

  2. WBC's, Basophils, fibrobiasts, Mast cells, Plasma cells

  3. Fibrobiasts, WBC's , Plasma cells, Mast cells

  4. Fibrobiasts, WBC's, Chondrobiasts, Mast cells


Correct Option: A
Explanation:
  • Areolar tissues are widely distributed connective tissue in the animal body. It is named because so because it takes the form of fine threads crossing each other in every direction leaving small spaces called areolae. 
  • The areolar tissue consists of ground substance, the matrix, white yellow and reticular fibers and cells like fibroblasts, hepatocytes, mast cells and osteocytes.

So the correct answer is 'Fibroblasts, hepatocytes, mast cells, osteocytes'.

Tonsils in the pharynx are made up of 

  1. connective tissue

  2. muscular tissue

  3. lymphatic tissue

  4. neuro-muscular tissue


Correct Option: A
Explanation:

Thick fibers of muscle and connective tissue attach the pharynx to the base of the skull. So the correct option is ' connective tissue'.

Which type of tissue forms glands

  1. Epithelial

  2. Connective

  3. Nervous

  4. Uterus


Correct Option: A
Explanation:

Epithelial tissues form the covering of all body surfaces, lines body cavities and hollow organs, and are the major tissue in glands. 

So, the correct answer is 'Epithelial' .

Which of the following statement is $NOT$ $CORRECT$ about the compound epithelium?
I.   It consist of several layers
II.  It covers the dry surface of the skin, the moist surface of buccal cavity, inner lining of ducts of salivary glands and pancreatic ducts
III.  It provides protection against chemical and mechanical stresses 
IV.  Being multilayered it has a great role in secretion and absorption

  1. Only III

  2. Only IV

  3. Only I and IV

  4. Only II


Correct Option: B
Explanation:
Compound epithelium has a limited role in secretion and absorption. So, the correct option is "only IV".

Our outer layer of skin is an example of which type of tissue?

  1. Muscular

  2. Epithelial

  3. Connective

  4. Nervous


Correct Option: B
Explanation:

Our outer layer of skin is made up of epithelial tissues. The epidermis is composed of the outermost layers of cells in the skin.

The epithelial tissue present on the inner surface of bronchi oles and fallopian tubes is :

  1. Squamous

  2. Cuboidal

  3. Glandula

  4. Cilia ted


Correct Option: D
The cell junctions namely tight, adhering and gap junctions are found in ______________.
  1. connective tissues

  2. epithelial tissues

  3. neutral tissues

  4. muscular tissues


Correct Option: B
Explanation:

Cell junctions are proteins that connect the cytoplasmic content of adjacent cells, they form a barrier between two cells and also hold or adhere cell together or with the extracellular matrix. these are abundant in epithelial tissue.

So, the correct answer is 'epithelial tissues'

Read the following statements regarding different types of animals tissues and select the incorrect ones.
(i) Each fasciculus (or bundle of muscle fibres) is surrounded by an epithelial tissue covering called perimysium
(ii) Multi unit smooth muscles are present in ciliary and iris muscles in the eyes and muscles of the walls of large blood vessels.
(iii) Columnar epithelium present in gastric glands, intestinal glands and pancreatic lobules, has a secretory role and is called as glandular epithelium.
(iv) Epithelial tissue arises only from the ectoderm of embryo and is usually supplied with blood vessels
  1. (i) and (iii)

  2. (ii) and (iii)

  3. (ii) and (iv)

  4. (i) and (iv)


Correct Option: D
Explanation:

Each fasciculus (bundle of muscle fibres) is surrounded by a connective tissue sheath called perimysium. Epithelial tissues arise from all the three primary germ layers of the embryo i.e., ectoderm, mesoderm and endoderm.
