Question 21. Which of the following is not a part of the appendicular system
  1.    Shoulder girdle 
  2.    Pectoral Girdle
  3.    Lower limbs
  4.    Rib cage
 Discuss Question
Answer: Option D. -> Rib cage
:
D
The humanappendicular skeletonis composed of the bones of the upper limbs, the lower limbs, the pectoral girdle, and the pelvic girdle. The pectoral girdle acts as the point of attachment of the upper limbs to the body. The upper limb consists of the arm, the forearm, and the wrist and hand.
Theaxial skeletonis the part of theskeletonthat consists of the bones of the head and trunk of a vertebrate. In the humanskeleton, it consists of 80 bones and is composed of six parts; the skull bones, the ossicles of the middle ear, the hyoid bone, the rib cage, sternum and the vertebral column.
Question 22. Obturator foramen is present between
  1.    Pubis and ischium
  2.    Humerus and clavicle
  3.    Femur and humerus
  4.    Sternum and clavicle
 Discuss Question
Answer: Option A. -> Pubis and ischium
:
A
The obturator foramen is the large opening created by the ischium and pubis bones of the pelvis through which nerves and blood vessels pass
Obturator Foramen Is Present Between
Question 23. Total number of bones in the axial skeleton of man are
  1.    206
  2.    120
  3.    80
  4.    160
 Discuss Question
Answer: Option C. -> 80
:
C
Total number of bones in the axial skeleton of man are

  • 29 bones in the head - (8 cranial and 14 facial bones) and then also 7 associated bones (6 auditory ossicles and the Hyoid Bone)

  • 25 bones of the thorax - (the sternum and 24 ribs)

  • 26 bones in the vertebral column (24 vertebrae, the sacrum and the coccyx)

Question 24. In a skeletal muscle, T – tubules
  1.    Secrete acetylcholine
  2.    Gives mechanical support
  3.    Conducts impulses forward
  4.    Bring about calcium flow for muscle contraction
 Discuss Question
Answer: Option C. -> Conducts impulses forward
:
C
T –tubules are a part of sarcoplasmic reticulum of muscle cells. Calcium is stored in the sarcoplasmic reticulum.Thefunction of T-TUBULESis to conduct impulses from the surface of the cell (sarcolemma) down into the cell. Acetylcholoine is present in the axon terminals of tne neurons.
Question 25. Obturator foramen is present between
  1.    Pubis and ischium
  2.    Humerus and clavicle
  3.    Femur and humerus
  4.    Sternum and clavicle
 Discuss Question
Answer: Option A. -> Pubis and ischium
:
A
The obturator foramen is the large opening created by the ischium and pubis bones of the pelvis through which nerves and blood vessels pass
Obturator Foramen Is Present Between
Question 26. Total number of bones in the axial skeleton of man are
  1.    206
  2.    120
  3.    80
  4.    160
 Discuss Question
Answer: Option C. -> 80
:
C
Total number of bones in the axial skeleton of man are

  • 29 bones in the head - (8 cranial and 14 facial bones) and then also 7 associated bones (6 auditory ossicles and the Hyoid Bone)

  • 25 bones of the thorax - (the sternum and 24 ribs)

  • 26 bones in the vertebral column (24 vertebrae, the sacrum and the coccyx)

Question 27. Muscles are red because of the presence of
  1.    Myoglobin
  2.    Haemoglobin
  3.    Globulin
  4.    Phycoerythrin
 Discuss Question
Answer: Option A. -> Myoglobin
:
A
Red muscles musclefibres are darkredwhich isdue to the presence of redhaemoprotein called myoglobin.
Hemoglobinin its deoxygenated state has a low affinity for oxygen compared to myoglobin(it is present only in muscles)
Globulins, albumin, and fibrinogen are the major blood proteins.
Phycoerythrin(PE) is a red protein-pigment complex from the light-harvesting phycobiliprotein family, present in red algae and cryptophytes
Question 28. Which of the following is a most common misconception with regard to the disease arthritis?
  1.    Arthritis is much more than just minor aches and pains
  2.    Can last for years or be lifelong
  3.    Different types of arthritis exist
  4.    Arthritis is an old person's disease.
 Discuss Question
Answer: Option D. -> Arthritis is an old person's disease.
:
D
The most common misconception about arthritis is that it's a disease only of old people. In actuality, arthritis can affect anyone at any age, not just the elderly including children, Young adults and middle aged.
Question 29. Which of the following is not matched correctly?
 


  1. Pectoral girdle - Acetabulum


  2. Pelvic girdle - Ilium, ischium, pubis


  3. Acromion - is the portion of the scapula that articulates with the clavicle


  4. Glenoid cavity - depression of scapula into which the head of the humerus fits

  1.    Pectoral girdle - Acetabulum
  2.    Pelvic girdle - Ilium, ischium, pubis
  3.    Acromion - is the portion of the scapula that articulates with the clavicle
  4.    Glenoid cavity - depression of scapula into which the head of the humerus fits
 Discuss Question
Answer: Option A. -> Pectoral girdle - Acetabulum
:
A
The shoulder girdle or pectoral girdle is the set of bones which connects the upper limb to the axial skeleton on each side. In humans, it consists of the clavicle and scapula.The acetabulumis a concave surface of the pelvis. The head of thefemurmeets with the pelvis at the acetabulum, forming the hip joint.
The pelvic girdle is formed by the fusion of ilium, ischium, and pubis.
Question 30. All the following are properties of skeletal muscles except
  1.    Excitability
  2.    Extensibility
  3.    Contractility
  4.    Rhythmicity
 Discuss Question
Answer: Option D. -> Rhythmicity
:
D
Rhythmicity is a property of cardiac musclesin cardiology, the ability to beat, or the state of beating, rhythmically without external stimuli.
Excitability: this refers to muscle tissue being able to react to nervous stimulation.
Extensibility: this refers to the ability of muscle tissue to lengthen when contracting and provide the effort required to move the lever system (the bones and joints), producing coordinated movement.
Contractility -: this refers to the capacity of a muscle to contract or shorten forcibly when stimulated by nerves and hormones (excitability).
