Read the following statements and select the correct ones.(i) In simpl...
Keratinized epithelium is impermeable to water. Adipose tissue forms a shock absorbing cushion around the eye balls and kidneys. So, option ii and 1v are wrong. In simple cuboidal epithelium where the length of the cell is equal to the breadth, the nucleus is conspicuous and centrally placed. Yellow elastin fibre provides flexibility, which is a component of the cartilage matrix along with collagen and other components.
So, the correct answer is '(i) and (iii)'

Read the following statements and select the correct ones.(i) In simpl...
The correct answer is option (a) (i) and (iii).
Let's discuss each statement to understand why they are correct:
(i) In simple cuboidal epithelium, nuclei are rounded and lie in the centre of the cells:
- Simple cuboidal epithelium is a type of tissue that is composed of a single layer of cube-shaped cells.
- The nuclei in these cells are rounded and typically located in the center of the cells.
- This arrangement allows for efficient absorption and secretion in tissues where simple cuboidal epithelium is found, such as the kidney tubules and glands.
(iii) Yellow elastic fibrocartilage makes cartilage flexible:
- Yellow elastic fibrocartilage is a type of connective tissue that contains elastic fibers.
- These elastic fibers provide flexibility and resilience to the cartilage.
- This type of cartilage is found in structures that require both strength and flexibility, such as the external ear and the epiglottis.
Now, let's discuss the incorrect statements:
(ii) Non-keratinised epithelium is impermeable to water:
- Non-keratinized epithelium is a type of tissue that does not contain keratin, a protein that helps protect the skin from water loss.
- Non-keratinized epithelium is found in areas that are moist, such as the lining of the mouth, esophagus, and vagina.
- Since it is not impermeable to water, it allows for the exchange of water and other substances between the tissue and its surroundings.
(iv) Areolar tissue forms a shock absorbing cushion around the eyeballs and kidneys:
- Areolar tissue is a loose connective tissue that is found throughout the body, providing support and flexibility to various organs.
- It is not specifically associated with forming a shock-absorbing cushion around the eyeballs and kidneys.
- However, areolar tissue does play a role in supporting and protecting these organs, along with other connective tissues.
In conclusion, statements (i) and (iii) are correct, while statements (ii) and (iv) are incorrect.
