Animal Tissue and Anatomy Questions

Multiple choice botany plant tissues introduction to tissue tissues - "the teams of workers" introduction to tissues

The groups of cells which perform a particular function are called as 

  1. Tissue

  2. Organ

  3. Organ system

  4. Molecule
Reveal answer Fill a bubble to check yourself
A Correct answer
Explanation

A tissue is the group of cells of the common origin which are structurally similar and perform a particular function. Whereas organ is the group of tissues and organ system is the group of organs which performs different functions. The molecule is the smallest part of the cell and different molecule performs different functions.

Therefore, the correct answer is option A.

Tissues losing their ability to divide define 

  1. Histological differentiation

  2. Cellular differentiation

  3. Molecular differentiation

  4. None of the above
Reveal answer Fill a bubble to check yourself
B Correct answer
Explanation
  • The meristematic tissues are the dividing tissues but when they lose the ability to divide they become permanent tissues. This process of taking up a permanent shape, size and function are called cellular differentiation. 
  • There are 3 types of permanent tissues: simple permanent tissues, complex permanent tissues, special or secretory tissues. So option B is correct.

A cellular organization between a single cell and a complete organism is controlled by

  1. Organs

  2. Tissues

  3. Enzymes

  4. Proteins
Reveal answer Fill a bubble to check yourself
B Correct answer
Explanation

A cellular organization between a single cell and a complete organism is controlled by the tissue. They are the collection of similar cells, with specific function. A collection of tissue gives rise to an organ. A tissue is a simple, which may be single celled type or a complex cell type. Proteins and enzymes are not the organization of cells. So, option B is correct.

Compound tissue is defined as.

  1. Similar types of cells held together by connective tissue

  2. Different types of cells which are different in structure and function

  3. Different types of cells performing one function

  4. Similar cells at different regions performing many functions
Reveal answer Fill a bubble to check yourself
C Correct answer
Explanation

A compound tissue (or complex tissue) consists of more than one type of cell working together to perform a common function, such as xylem or phloem in plants.

Multiple choice biology animal tissue muscular tissues muscle tissue muscle tissues

Which of the following tissue is not found in the skin of man ?

  1. Epithelial tissue

  2. Areolar tissue

  3. Dense fibrous connective tiisue
  4. Both $(1)$ and $(3)$
Reveal answer Fill a bubble to check yourself
A Correct answer
Explanation

Epithelial tissues line the outer surface of organs and blood vessels throughout the body, as well as the inner surface of cavities in many internal organs. The human skin has up to seven layers of ectodermal tissues and guards the underlying muscles, Bones, etc.

The skin consist of $3$ layers of tissues, the epidermis an outer most layer the contains the primary protective structure, the stratum corneum, the dermis, a Fibrous layer that supports and strengthens the epidermis; and the subcutis.

The most abundant tissue in the body is

  1. Nervous

  2. Muscular

  3. Vascular

  4. Epithelial
Reveal answer Fill a bubble to check yourself
B Correct answer
Explanation

Skeletal muscle is the most abundant of the human body's tissue. It consists of thread-like cells, of which the longest can be up to 30cm long and 0.15mm thick, that are bound together into strands by collagen filaments. So, the muscular tissue is abundant as it has around 700 muscles, which constitutes around 40% of total body weight.
So, the correct answer is option B.

Multiple choice zoology allergy immunity related disorders and problems antibody production and vaccination biotechnology

During inflammation,which of the following is secreted by connective tissue?

  1. Serotonin

  2. Heparin

  3. Glucagon

  4. Histamine
Reveal answer Fill a bubble to check yourself
D Correct answer
Explanation

Histamine is an organic nitrogenous compound involved in the inflammatory response and has a central role as a mediator of itching. Histamine is produced by basophils and by mast cells found in nearby connective tissues. Histamine is stored in cytoplasmic granules along with other amines and rapidly released upon triggering with a variety of stimuli. It causes the contraction of smooth muscle, dilation of blood vessels etc..

So, the correct answer is 'Histamine'.

Multiple choice physics sound sound produced by humans propagation of sound production and propagation of sound

We, humans, produce sound by using

  1. oesophagus

  2. larynx

  3. thyroid Gland

  4. mouth
Reveal answer Fill a bubble to check yourself
B Correct answer
Explanation

Larynx is known as the voice box. It is located at the upper end of the windpipe. The vocal cords stretch the larynx in such a way that a passage is created between them. When air passes through this passage the vocal cords vibrate and produce sound.
