Questions Related to our body- its internal organ system

The blood cells with polymorphic nucleus are?

  1. Granulocytes

  2. Thrombocytes

  3. Erythrocytes

  4. None of these


Correct Option: A
Explanation:

Granulocytes are a category of white blood cells characterized by the presence of granules in their cytoplasm. They are also called polymorphonuclear leukocytes or polymorphonuclear neutrophils because of the varying shapes of the nucleus, which is usually lobed into three segments. These are granulocytes involved in fighting off pathogens, such as bacteria and fungi.

So the correct answer is 'Granulocytes'.

Which of the following cell/organism does not form pseudopodia during its movement/locomotion?

  1. WBC

  2. Sperm

  3. Macrophage

  4. Amoeba


Correct Option: A

Find the correct descending order of percentage proportion of leucocytes in human blood.

  1. Neutrophils $\rightarrow$ Basophils $\rightarrow$ Lymphocytes $\rightarrow$ Acidophils (Eosinophil) $\rightarrow$ Monocytes

  2. Monocytes $\rightarrow$ Neutrophils $\rightarrow$ Lymphocytes $\rightarrow$ Acidophils $\rightarrow$ Basophils

  3. Neutrophils $\rightarrow$ Lymphocytes $\rightarrow$ Monocytes $\rightarrow$ Acidophils $\rightarrow$ Basophils

  4. Lymphocytes $\rightarrow$ Acidophils $\rightarrow$ Basophils $\rightarrow$ Neutrophils $\rightarrow$ Monocytes


Correct Option: A

Decrease of number of leucocytes in blood is due to the deficiency of?

  1. Cyanacobalamine

  2. Folic acid

  3. Ascrobic acid

  4. Pyridoxine


Correct Option: A

Mast cells of connective tissue contain

  1. Vasopressin and histamine

  2. Heparin and histamine

  3. Heparin and calcitonin

  4. Serotonin and melanin


Correct Option: B
Explanation:

A  mast cell  is derived from the myeloid stem cell and contains many granules rich in histamine and heparin. Mast cells play an important role in allergy and anaphylaxis and are involved in wound healing and defence against pathogens. So, the correct answer is option B.

Which of the following statements are wrong ?
(a) Leucocytes disintegrate in the spleen and liver.
(b) RBC, WBC  and blood platelets are produced by bone marrow.
(c) Neutrophils bring about destruction and detoxification of toxins of protein origin.
(d) The important function of lymphocytes is to produce antibodies.

  1. a and b only

  2. a and d only

  3. a and c only

  4. b and c only

  5. b and d only


Correct Option: C
Explanation:

Leucocytes do not disintegrate in spleen and liver, in fact they are produced in bone marrow.
Neutrophils are mainly responsible for protection against infection. When they come across the bacteria or any other foreign bodies, they engulf them through phagocytosis, thus playing a important role in cell defense. 

Which statement is true for WBC?

  1. Non-nucleted

  2. In deficiency, cancer is caused

  3. Can squeeze through blood capillaries

  4. None of the above


Correct Option: C
Explanation:

WBC's are amoeboid in shape due to which they can easily squeeze through the walls of the capillaries at the site of injury by the process known as diapedesis and engulf the damaged cells by phagocytosis. They are nucleated cells and excess of WBCs causes cancer known as leukaemia. 

So, the correct answer is option C.

Spleen and thymus are haematopoietic for

  1. RBC

  2. WBC

  3. Platelets

  4. All of the above


Correct Option: B
Explanation:
Haematopoiesis is the process of formation of blood cellular components. Blood cell formation takes place in yolk sac in developing embryo. As development proceeds, blood formation occurs in liver, spleen and lymph nodes. In spleen and thymus, 20-30% of WBCs are formed while RBCs and platelets are formed in the bone marrow.  All cellular blood components are derived from haematopoietic stem cells.

The main function of white blood cells is

  1. To help red blood cells in the transportation of oxygen and carbon dioxide.

  2. To clot the blood at the time of injuries.

  3. To accelerate the production of red blood cells in the bone marrow.

  4. To defend the body against infections.


Correct Option: D
Explanation:

White blood cells(WBCs) are the body's defense systems. They attack foreign bodies that invaded the blood or any part of the body. Foreign bodies like the bacteria, viruses and the fungi rendering them less invasive and even destroys them. They are cells involved in the “inflammatory” response. This response develops when tissue is damaged or invaded by microbes. Neutrophils specialize is killing bacteria. Eosinophils kill parasites. Monocytes control inflammation by releasing cytokines. Lymphocytes recognize and destroy cells infected by viruses or transplanted foreign cells. 

So, the correct option is 'To defend the body against infections'

Myoglobin is found in

  1. White fibres

  2. Red fibres

  3. Can be traced in both

  4. Cardiac muscles only


Correct Option: B
Explanation:

Myoglobin is found in red fibres.

Myoglobin contains a heme (prosthetic) group which is responsible for its main function (carrying of oxygen molecules to muscle tissues). Myoglobin can exist in the oxygen free form, deoxymyoglobin, or in a form in which the oxygen molecule is bound, called oxymyoglobin.
Myoglobin is an iron and oxygen-binding protein found in the muscle tissue of vertebrates in general and in almost all mammals. It is related to hemoglobin, which is the iron and oxygen-binding protein in blood, specifically in the red blood cells. In humans, myoglobin is only found in the bloodstream after muscle injury
So, the correct answer is 'Red fibres'
