Question 1.


Which of the following junctions are formed by a protein called cadherin ?


  1.     Tight Junction 
  2.     Gap junction
  3.     Adherens junction
  4.     Desmosome
 Discuss Question
Answer: Option C. -> Adherens junction
:
C
Tight junctions help to stop substances from leaking across a tissue. Gap junctions facilitate the cells to communicate with each other by connecting the cytoplasm of adjoining cells, for rapid transfer of ions, small molecules and sometimes big molecules. Adherens junction help in cementing or packing the neighbouring cells together and are formed by a protein called Cadherin. Desmosomes are intercellular junctions that connect intermediate filaments to the cell surface and mediate strong cell-cell adhesion.
Question 2.


Communication junctions between the cells of cardiac muscle are:


  1.     Intervertebral disk
  2.     Intervertebral foramen
  3.     Intercalated discs
  4.     Interneurons
 Discuss Question
Answer: Option C. -> Intercalated discs
:
C
Intercalated disks are cross-bands that separate the opposing ends of cardiac muscle cells. These bands are the result of elaborate junctions of membranes at the cell's boundary. They help to hold adjacent cells together and transmit the force of contraction from cell to cell. Intercalated discs at some fusion points allow the cells to contract as a unit, i.e., when one cell receives a signal to contract, its neighbours are also stimulated to contract.
An intervertebral disk acts as shock absorber between each of the vertebrae in the spinal column by keeping the vertebrae separated when there is impact from activity.
Intervertebral foramen is an opening between vertebrae through which nerves leave the spine and extend to other parts of the body.
Interneuron is a neuron which transmits impulses between other neurons, especially as part of a reflex arc.
 
Question 3.


 Mouth parts of cockroach are of this type:


  1.     Piercing and sucking
  2.     Sponging and sucking
  3.     Biting and chewing
  4.     Siphoning and sucking
 Discuss Question
Answer: Option C. -> Biting and chewing
:
C
Mouth parts of cockroach are of biting and chewing type .These are considered as the most primitive mouth parts, it consist of labrum,labium,maxilla,mandibles and a hypopharynx.
Question 4.


Which of the following is/are functions of basement membrane ?


  1.     Anchor epthelial cells
  2.     Basement membrane acts as a connection between epithelia and connective tissue for blood supply
  3.     Acts as a barrier prevents blood supply
  4.     Anchors connective tissue
 Discuss Question
Answer: Option A. -> Anchor epthelial cells
:
A and B
The basement membrane is form of extracellular matrix that underlies all epithelia. It provides structural support to epithelia and forms a mechanical connection between epithelia and underlying connective tissue. The basement membrane also regulates the metabolism, proliferation, survival and differentiation of epithelial cells. The basement membrane functions as filter and because epithelia lack their own blood supply, all small molecules and gases derived from the blood must diffuse across the basement membrane. The basement membrane also prevents epithelial cells from invading into connective tissue.
Question 5.


Blood from pericardial sinus enters the heart of cockroach through:


  1.     Anterior aorta
  2.     Osculum
  3.     Fenestrae
  4.     Ostia
 Discuss Question
Answer: Option D. -> Ostia
:
D
Blood vascular system of cockroach is an open type. Blood vessels are poorly developed and open into space (haemocoel). Visceral organs located in the haemocoel are bathed in blood (haemolymph). The haemolymph is composed of colourless plasma and haemocytes. Heart of cockroach consists of elongated muscular tube lying along mid dorsal line of thorax and abdomen. It is differentiated into funnel shaped chambers with ostia on either side. Blood from sinuses enter heart through ostia and is pumped anteriorly to sinuses again. 
Question 6.


Which of the following is correct about macrophages :


  1.     They are found in the areolar tissue
  2.     A white blood cell
  3.     Destroys bacteria and other harmful organisms
  4.     All of the above
 Discuss Question
Answer: Option D. -> All of the above
:
D
Marophage is a large phagocytic cell found in stationary form in the areolar tissues or as a mobile white blood cell, especially at sites of infection. A macrophage has the ability to locate and 'eat' particles, such as bacteria, viruses, fungi, and parasites. Macrophages are born from white blood cells called monocytes, which are produced by stem cells in our bone marrow.
Question 7.


_______________ make up  more than one half the volume of neural tissue in our body.


  1.     Neurons
  2.     Neuroglia
  3.     Axons
  4.     Dendrites
 Discuss Question
Answer: Option B. -> Neuroglia
:
B
Neurons contain axons (long, slender projections from the cells that conduct electrochemical impulses or action potentials). 
Neuroglia: 1. These are supporting cells of nervous tissue.
Neuroglia make up about half the volume of the CNS. - smaller than neurons, and they are 5 to 50 times more numerous
Question 8.


Which of the following tissues is INCORRECTLY matched with a function?


  1.     Epithelial tissue--capillary lining
  2.     Connective tissue--storage of fat
  3.     Muscle tissue--protection from pathogens
  4.     Nerve cells -- generate and conduct impulses
 Discuss Question
Answer: Option C. -> Muscle tissue--protection from pathogens
:
C
Muscle will not give protection from pathogens. The main function of the muscular system is movement.
Endothelium is a type of epithelium that lines the interior surface of blood capillaries.
Adipose tissue, or fat, is an anatomical term for loose connective tissue composed of adipocytes. Its main role is to store energy in the form of fat, although it also cushions and insulates the body. The cells in nervous tissue that generate and conduct impulses are called neurons or nerve cells.​​​​​​​
 
Question 9.


A pseudostratified columnar epithelium is a special type of simple epithelium that consists of a 


  1.     Two layers
  2.     Falsely-stratified single layer of epithelial
  3.     Three layers
  4.     None of the above
 Discuss Question
Answer: Option B. -> Falsely-stratified single layer of epithelial
:
B
A pseudostratified epithelium is a type of epithelium that, though comprising only a single layer of cells, has its cell nuclei positioned in a manner suggestive of stratified epithelia.
Question 10.


Connective tissue arises from which of the embryonic tissue ?


  1.     Ectoderm 
  2.     Endoderm
  3.     Mesoderm
  4.     All of the above
 Discuss Question
Answer: Option C. -> Mesoderm
:
C
The germ layers develop early in embryonic life, through the process of gastrulation. During gastrulation, a hollow cluster of cells called a blastula reorganizes into 3 primary germ layers: an inner layer called endoderm, a middle layer called mesoderm and an outer layer, called ectoderm.
Connective tissue arises from mesoderm.
