Animal Tissue and Anatomy Questions
-
Squamous epithelium
-
Cuboidal epithelium
-
Columnar epithelium
-
Glandular epithelium
-
Ciliated epithelium
A
Correct answer
Explanation
This is the correct option. Squamous epithelium is made of thin, flat, irregular-shaped cells which fit together like floor tiles to form a compact tissue.
-
Cuboidal epithelium
-
Columnar epithelium
-
Stratified squamous epithelium
-
Ciliated epithelium
-
Glandular epithelium
C
Correct answer
Explanation
This is the correct option. Stratified squamous epithelium is waterproof and highly resistant to mechanical injuries. This is found in the skin and covers the external dry surface of the skin.
-
Adipose tissue
-
Areolar tissue
-
Dense regular connective tissue
-
Skeletal tissue
-
Fluid connective tissue
A
Correct answer
Explanation
This is the correct option as adipose tissue is abundant below the skin and between the internal organs.
-
Cuboidal epithelium
-
Columnar epithelium
-
Glandular epithelium
-
Ciliated epithelium
-
Squamous epithelium
E
Correct answer
Explanation
This is the correct option. Squamous epithelium forms the delicate lining of mouth, nose, etc. and the covering of tongue and skin.

Only a and b
-
Only b
-
Only b and c
-
Only c
A
Correct answer
Explanation
This is the correct option as this is a false statement. In columnar epithelium, the component cells are pillar-like, and not thin and flat.
-
pars petrosa
-
pars tympanica
-
pars tuberalis
-
pars tensa
D
Correct answer
Explanation
The drum-like component of the tympanic membrane is known as pars tensa.
-
pars intermedia
-
pars longa glandis
-
pars major uteri
-
pars mastoidea
B
Correct answer
Explanation
It is the long, cylindrical part of the dog glans, which is completely distinct from the bulbar part.
-
hepatic plexus
-
lineal plexus
-
suprarenal plexus
-
renal plexus
D
Correct answer
Explanation
The renal plexus is made up of filaments from the celiac plexus, the aorticorenal ganglion, and the aortic plexus. It is also conjoined by the smallest splanchnic nerve.
-
Phrenic plexus
-
Renal plexus
-
Prostatic plexus
-
Pudendal plexus
D
Correct answer
Explanation
Pudendal plexus is a complex structure accomodating fibers that innervate both male and female genital organs, the rectal ampoule and the anus. In males, the pudendal plexus controls the erection and ejaculation of the penis.
-
Blood
-
CSF
-
Lymph
-
Leucocytes
-
Plasma
B
Correct answer
Explanation
Cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) is a clear colourless body fluid produced in the choroid plexus of the brain. It acts as a cushion or buffer for the cortex providing a basic mechanical and immunological protection to the brain inside the skull and serves a vital function in cerebral autoregulation of cerebral blood flow.
-
Cerebrum
-
Spinal cord
-
Mesencephalon
-
Diencephalon
-
Meninges
C
Correct answer
Explanation
The midbrain, also called the mesencephalon, is the smallest and the most anterior part of the brainstem with a tubular appearance. It is involved in functions such as vision, hearing, movement of the eyes and body motor function.
-
Glottis
-
Epiglottis
-
Larynx
-
Pharynx
B
Correct answer
Explanation
The epiglottis is a flap-like structure located at the entrance of the larynx (wind pipe). When you swallow, it closes over the larynx to prevent food or liquid from entering the respiratory tract. The glottis is the vocal cord opening, larynx is the voice box, and pharynx is the shared passage for both air and food - none of these prevent entry.
