Solution. Knee joint and elbow joints are examples of the hinge joint.

Q.9. Macrophages and leucocytes exhibit
(a) Ciliary movement
(b) Flagellar movement
(c) Amoeboid movement
(d) Gliding movement
Ans. (c)
Solution: Amoeboid movements: Some specialised cells in our body like macrophages and leucocytes in blood exhibit amoeboid movement. It is effected by pseudopodia formed by the streaming of protoplasm (as in Amoeba). Cytoskeletal elements like microfilaments are also involved in the amoeboid movement.

(c) The muscles located in the inner walls of alimentary canal are striated and involuntary
(d) Muscles located in the reproductive tracts are unstriated and involuntary
Ans. (c)
Solution: The muscles located in the inner walls of alimentary canal are non-striated and involuntary.

(a) exhibit ameboid movement
(b) exhibit ciliary movement
Ans. (a) Macrophages and leucocytes
(b) Trachea, fallopian tube and bronchiole

Q.2. Locomotion requires a perfect coordinated activity of muscular, _____, _______ systems
Ans. Skeletal and Neural

Q.3. Sarcolemma, sarcoplasm and sarcoplasmic reticulum refer to a particular type of cell in our body. Which is this cell and to what parts of that cell do these names refer to?
Ans. 

• Each muscle fibre or muscle cell is lined by the plasma membrane called sarcolemma enclosing the sarcoplasm. 
• A muscle fibre is a syncytium as the sarcoplasm (cytoplasm) contains many nuclei. 
• The endoplasmic reticulum, i. e., sarcoplasmic reticulum of the muscle fibres are the storehouse of calcium ions.

Q.4. Label the different components of actin filament in the diagram given below.

Ans. 
 

Q.5. The three tiny bones present in the middle ear are called ear ossicles. Write them in correct sequence beginning from the eardrum.
Ans. Malleus, incus and stapes.

Q.6. What is the difference between the matrix of bones and cartilage?
Ans. 

• Bones have a hard and non-pliable ground substance rich in calcium salts and collagen fibres which give bone its strength.
• The inter-cellular material of cartilage is solid and pliable which resists compression. The cell of cartilage are called chondrocytes which are enclosed in small cavities (lacunae) within the matrix secreted by them.
  
  Q.7. Which tissue is afflicted by Myasthenia gravis? What is the underlying cause?
  Ans. Myasthenia gravis: Auto-immune disorder affecting neuromuscular junction leading to fatigue, weakening and paralysis of skeletal muscle.
  
  Q.8. How do our bone joints function without grinding noise and pain?
  Ans. Our bone joints function without grinding noise and pain due to the presence of synovial fluid between bones.
