In a uriniferous tubule, what is the short and tubular region, that follows the Bowman's capsule known as?

  1. Neck

  2. Proximal convoluted tubule

  3. Henle's loop

  4. Distal convoluted tubule

C Correct answer
Explanation

In a uriniferous tubule, 'Henle's loop' is the short and tubular region, that follows the Bowman's capsule.

So, the correct option is 'Henle's loop'.

Select the correct option:

Fill up the blanks in the following paragraph by selecting the correct option.
The vascular system of frog is well-developed ______ (i) type. The blood vascular system involves heart, blood vessels and blood. Heart has 3 chambers, two atria and one ventricle and is covered by a membrane called ______ (ii). A triangular structure called ______ (iii) joins the right attrium.

  1. (i)- open; (ii)- conus arteriosus; (iii)- neurilemma

  2. (i)- closed; (ii)- sinus venosus; (iii)- pericardium

  3. (i)- open; (ii)- neurilemma; (iii)- conus arteriosus

  4. (i)- closed ; (ii)- pericardium; (iii)- sinus venosus

D Correct answer
Explanation

The vascular system of frog is well-developed (i) 'closed' type. The blood vascular system involves the heart, blood vessels and blood. The heart has 3 chambers, two atria and one ventricle and is covered by a membrane called (ii) 'pericardium'. A triangular structure called (iii) 'sinus venosus' joins the right atrium.

So, the correct answer is '(i)- closed ; (ii)- pericardium; (iii)- sinus venosus'.

In autologous stem cell transplant, the stem cells are obtained 

  1. From the individual itself.

  2. From a donor.

  3. From the identical twin.

  4. Both A and B.
Reveal answer Fill a bubble to check yourself
A Correct answer
Explanation

There are different types of transplantations in which the donor from which the stem cells are received differs. In the case of the autologous stem cell transplantation, the stem cells are obtained from the same individual. The peripheral blood or the bone marrow stem cells can be used for the purpose of transplantation. There are no chances of rejection due to graft versus host reaction. 

Thus, the correct answer is option A.

Which of the following diseases can be cured by stem cell therapy?

  1. Haematopoiesis

  2. Lymphoma

  3. Dwarfness

  4. Both A and B
Reveal answer Fill a bubble to check yourself
B Correct answer
Explanation

Stem cell therapy is currently used to treat various blood-related disorders, including lymphoma and leukemia, by replacing damaged cells. Haematopoiesis is a process, not a disease.

Why is umbilical cord preserved after the birth?

  1. It is a source of RBC.

  2. It has a greater content of blood plasma.

  3. It is a source of stem cells.

  4. All of the above.
Reveal answer Fill a bubble to check yourself
C Correct answer
Explanation

Stem cells are found in all organisms and are capable of dividing to form new cells which can be differentiated into various types of specialised cells. The umbilical cord is the structure which attaches the fetus with the placenta in the maternal womb. The umbilical cord contains the embryonic stem cells which can use for the treatment of disorders during the life of an individual. The umbilical cord can be preserved during the child birth.

Thus, the correct answer is option C.

Among the following stem cells, which are found in the umblical cord 

  1. Embryonic stem cells

  2. Adult stem cells

  3. Cord blood stem cells

  4. All of the above
Reveal answer Fill a bubble to check yourself
C Correct answer
Explanation
The umblical cord contains haematopoetic stem cells that can give rise to both RBCs as well as WBCs and are used in the treatment of blood cell diseases like Leukemia. Haematopoetic stem cells are also called cord blood stem cells
So, the correct answer is 'Cord blood stem cells'

Do animals have tissues similar to meristematic tissues in plants? If yes, what are they?

  1. Epithelial cells

  2. Germ cells

  3. Stem cells

  4. They don't have similar cells
Reveal answer Fill a bubble to check yourself
C Correct answer
Explanation

Animals have stem cells which are similar to the meristematic tissues in plants. They are capable to divide. These are undifferentiated cells which later on gets specialized. They divide continuously and help in the growth and repair of the body.
