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

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.

Stratum germinativum is an example of which kind of epithelium?

  1. Columnar

  2. Squamous

  3. Cuboidal

  4. Ciliated


Correct Option: C
Explanation:
The stratum germinativum is the deepest layer of the five layers of the epidermis. The stratum basale is a single layer of columnar or cuboidal cells.
So, the correct option is 'cuboidal'.

Mammary glands are a part of 

  1. Epithelial tissue

  2. Connective tissue

  3. Skeletal tissue

  4. Muscular tissue


Correct Option: A
Explanation:

Mammary glands are a modification of the epithelial layer or epithelial tissue. They are formed of the glandular epithelium.

Which tissue found on upper surface of skin?

  1. Epidermis

  2. Endodermis

  3. Cuboidal Cells

  4. Connective tissues


Correct Option: A
Explanation:

Tissues found on the upper surface of the skin is epidermis and dermis is found beneath it.

The epithelium which forms the inner wall of blood vessels is_____________

  1. Cuboidal epithelium

  2. Ciliated epithelium

  3. Squamous epithelium

  4. Compound epithelium


Correct Option: C
Explanation:
  • The simple squamous epithelium that lines the blood vessels is called the endothelium. The endothelium is the thin layer of cells that line the interior surface of blood vessels, forming an interface between circulating blood in the lumen and the rest of the vessel wall. Endothelial cells line the entire circulatory system, from the heart to the smallest capillary. These cells reduce turbulence of the flow of blood allowing the fluid to be pumped farther. 
Endothelial tissue is a specialized type of epithelium tissue (one of the four types of biological tissue in animals). More specifically, it is a simple squamous epithelium.

The covering tissue of external and internal surfaces of animal body is

  1. Connective

  2. Epithelial

  3. Muscular

  4. Areolar


Correct Option: B
Explanation:

The external surfaces and internal linings of the animal body are made up of various kinds of epithelial tissues. Epithelial tissues have various functions all across our bodies like secretion, absorption, protection, sensing and, to some extent, thermoregulation. So, the correct answer is 'Epithelial'.

Specialized epidermal cells seen around the stomata are___________

  1. Lenticels

  2. Bulliform cells

  3. Guard cells

  4. Subsidiary cells


Correct Option: C
Explanation:

  • Guard cells are cells surrounding each stoma. They help to regulate the rate of transpiration by opening and closing the stomata. 
  • Lenticels are one of many raised pores in the stem of a woody plant that allows gas exchange between the atmosphere and the internal tissues. Bulliform cells are large, bubble-shaped epidermal cells that occur in groups on the upper surface of the leaves of many grasses. Loss of turgor pressure in these cells causes leaves to "roll-up" during water stress. 
  • Subsidiary cell is a plant epidermal cell that is located next to a guard cell in the stoma of a leaf and differs in structure from other epidermal cells. Also called an accessory cell.


Therefore, the correct answer is option C.

State whether true or false. 

The epidermal layer in plants does not have intercellular spaces. 

  1. True

  2. False


Correct Option: A
Explanation:

The epidermis is the outermost cellular layer which covers the whole plant structure, i.e., it covers roots, stem, leaves, flowers and fruit. It is composed of a single layer of living cells, although there are exceptions. The epidermis is usually closely packed, without intercellular spaces or chloroplasts. 

The epidermal cells provide ............ to the plants.

  1. Water

  2. Protection

  3. Strength

  4. All of the above


Correct Option: B
Explanation:

The epidermis is the outermost cellular layer which covers the whole plant structure, i.e., it covers roots, stem, leaves, flowers and fruit. It is composed of a single layer of living cells, although there are exceptions. The function of epidermal cells are as follows-

1) The epidermal cells protect the underlying cells.
2) The waxy cuticle prevents the loss of moisture from the leaves and stems.
3) The transparent epidermal cells allow sunlight (for photosynthesis) to pass through to the chloroplasts in the mesophyll tissue.
4) The stomata of leaves and stems allow gaseous exchange to take place which is necessary for photosynthesis and respiration.
5) Water vapor may be given off through the stomata during transpiration.
6) The root-hairs absorb water and dissolved ions from the soil.

Promeristem is found in

  1. Embryo

  2. Root apex

  3. Shoot apex

  4. Intercalary region


Correct Option: A
Explanation:

Promeristem are groups of meristematic cells found in germinating embryos or young seedlings. They give rise to primary meristems which initiate the organ formation process. Promeristems are also referred as primordial meristems or embryonic meristems because of their origin.
Thus, the correct answer is option A.

Dermal tissue is derived from

  1. Periblem

  2. Dermatogen

  3. Procambium

  4. Pleurome


Correct Option: B
Explanation:

Dermatogen is also known as protoderm which further divides to form the three dermal layer which is epidermis, endodermis and hypodermis. These form the protective layer of the plant. Epidermis is the outer layer which mainly bears small opening known as stomata.
Therefore, the correct answer is option B.

Muscular tissues which function throughout the life continuously without fatigue is______________

  1. Skeletal muscle

  2. Smooth muscle

  3. Cardiac muscle

  4. Voluntary muscle


Correct Option: C
Explanation:
  • Cardiac muscle is a type of involuntary striated muscle found only in the walls of the heart. 
  • This is a specialized muscle that, while similar in some fundamental ways to smooth muscle and skeletal muscle, has a unique structure and with an ability not possessed by muscle tissue elsewhere in the body. 
  • Cardiac muscle, like other muscles, can contract, but it can also carry an action potential (i.e., conduct electricity), like the neurons that constitute nerves.
  •  Furthermore, some of the cells have the ability to generate an action potential, known as cardiac muscle automaticity. Cardiac muscle is adapted to be highly resistant to fatigue:
  •  it has a large number of mitochondria, enabling continuous aerobic respiration, numerous myoglobins (oxygen-storing pigment), and a good blood supply, which provides nutrients and oxygen. 

Which of the following is a universal blood donor?

  1. A

  2. B

  3. AB

  4. O


Correct Option: D
Explanation:

A person with blood group O is considered as universal donor as it does not contain any antigens which can trigger the production of antibodies in a person with any of the other three blood groups i.e. A, B or AB. Thus, option D is correct.

How many possible genotypes are there for ABO blood groups in man?

  1. Three

  2. Four

  3. Six

  4. Eight


Correct Option: C
Explanation:
 Genotype   Blood types
 $I^AI^O$ or $I^AI^A$ A blood type
 $I^AI^B$  AB blood type
 $I^BI^O$ or $I^BI^B$  B blood type
 $I^OI^O$  O blood type

There are six possible genotypes for the ABO blood groups in human.
The chart here shows the different genotypes, that make up the blood groups.
Therefore, the correct answer is option C.

Which of the following blood group is a universal donor?

  1. $AB^{+ve}$

  2. $O^{+ve}$

  3. $AB^{-ve}$

  4. $O^{-ve}$


Correct Option: D
Explanation:

People with type O- negative blood are the universal donor for the whole blood. That means that, anyone can receive this blood type. Being O- negative, this blood group is compatible with all the blood groups, A${^+}$and A${^-}$ve, B${^+}$ve, B${^-}$ve, and AB${^+}$, AB${^-}$ve. And the chances of rejection is the least.
Therefore, the correct answer is option D.

A person with blood group O has 

  1. Only anti- A antibodies

  2. Only anti- B antibodies

  3. Both anti- A and anti- B antibodies

  4. Both A and B antigens


Correct Option: C
Explanation:

The blood group found in human beings are of four principal types: A, B, AB and O. These types are differentiated on the basis of two antigens A and B and two antibodies A and B present in the blood types. The specific combination of antigens and antibodies determines an individual's blood type. A person with blood group O has no antigen on the surface of the RBC but has both, anti- A and anti- B antibodies in his plasma.

Therefore, the correct answer is option C.
