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

  1. Cyanacobalamine

  2. Folic acid

  3. Ascrobic acid

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

Leukopenia, or a decrease in white blood cells, is often associated with deficiencies in folate or vitamin B12. While the question lists Cyanacobalamine (B12) as correct, it is a common medical fact that both B12 and Folic acid deficiencies cause this condition, making the question slightly ambiguous.

Mast cells of connective tissue contain

  1. Vasopressin and histamine

  2. Heparin and histamine

  3. Heparin and calcitonin

  4. Serotonin and melanin
Reveal answer Fill a bubble to check yourself
B Correct answer
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
Reveal answer Fill a bubble to check yourself
C Correct answer
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
Reveal answer Fill a bubble to check yourself
C Correct answer
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
Reveal answer Fill a bubble to check yourself
B Correct answer
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.
Reveal answer Fill a bubble to check yourself
D Correct answer
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
Reveal answer Fill a bubble to check yourself
B Correct answer
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'

The different types of the blood vessels seen in the body are

  1. Three

  2. Two

  3. Four

  4. Five
Reveal answer Fill a bubble to check yourself
A Correct answer
Explanation
There are three different types of blood vessels in the body namely arteries, veins and capillaries. Arteries are the blood vessels which carry blood away from the heart while veins carry blood towards the heart. Capillaries are the smallest blood vessels which connect arteries and veins. 
Therefore, the correct answer is option A.
