Save

Multicellular gland is formed by the folding of:

Detailed Solution: Question 5

Multicellular glands are formed by the folding of epithelial tissue. Epithelial tissue forms the lining of glands and ducts.

Test: Animal Tissues - Question 6
Save

Connective tissues are the tissues that help to bind or connect other tissues in the body. They have widely spaced cells embedded in a matrix containing various proteins, polysaccharides, and mineral salts. Identify which of the following are examples of connective tissues:

Detailed Solution: Question 6

Ligament, tendon, and blood are examples of connective tissues. Ligaments connect bone to bone, tendons connect muscle to bone, and blood is a liquid connective tissue consisting of cells in a plasma matrix. Epithelium, however, is not a connective tissue; it forms the lining of body surfaces.

Test: Animal Tissues - Question 7
Save

A person met with an accident in which two long bones of his hand were dislocated. Which among the following may be the possible reason for this?

Detailed Solution: Question 7

Dislocation of bones typically involves the tearing or stretching of ligaments, the tough bands of connective tissue that connect bones to each other.

Test: Animal Tissues - Question 8
Save

Contractile proteins are found in:

Detailed Solution: Question 8

Contractile proteins, such as actin and myosin, are found in muscles. These proteins enable muscle contraction.

Test: Animal Tissues - Question 9
Save

The hard matrix of the bone consists of:

Detailed Solution: Question 9

The hard matrix of bone consists of minerals, primarily calcium and phosphorus, which contribute to bone strength and rigidity.

Test: Animal Tissues - Question 10
Save

Tissue is a group of similar kinds of cells specialized to perform a particular function in the body. Therefore, the presence of tissues in a multicellular organism ensures:

Detailed Solution: Question 10

Tissues in a multicellular organism ensure division of labour, where different types of cells perform specific functions, contributing to the overall functioning of the organism.

Test: Animal Tissues - Question 11
Save

Epithelial tissue always has an exposed outer surface and an inner surface anchored to connective tissue by a thin, non-cellular structure called the:

Detailed Solution: Question 11

Epithelial tissue has an exposed outer surface and an inner surface anchored to connective tissue by a thin, non-cellular structure called the basement membrane.

Test: Animal Tissues - Question 12
Save

Osteocytes are the cells of which organ or tissue?

Detailed Solution: Question 12

Osteocytes are specialized bone cells derived from osteoblasts that become embedded in the bone matrix. They play a crucial role in maintaining bone tissue by regulating mineral ion homeostasis and participating in mechanosensing, which helps in detecting mechanical forces acting on the bone.

Test: Animal Tissues - Question 13
Save

The cells in the intestine, which are drawn into long processes called microvilli, are:

Detailed Solution: Question 13

The cells in the intestine with microvilli are specialized for absorption and are columnar epithelial cells.

Test: Animal Tissues - Question 14
Save

Areolar connective tissue is found:

Detailed Solution: Question 14

Areolar connective tissue is a versatile tissue found between the skin and muscles, around blood vessels, and in various other locations. It provides support and flexibility.

Test: Animal Tissues - Question 15
Save

Fats are stored in the human body as:

Detailed Solution: Question 15

Fats are stored in the human body as adipose tissue. Adipose tissue serves as a storage site for fat.

Test: Animal Tissues - Question 16
Save

Each neuron has a single long part called:

Detailed Solution: Question 16

Neurons have a single long part called an axon, which transmits nerve impulses away from the cell body.

Test: Animal Tissues - Question 17
Save

The tissue responsible for movement in our body is:

Detailed Solution: Question 17

Muscular tissue is responsible for movement in the body. It is composed of muscle cells that contract and enable various types of movement, such as voluntary movements controlled by skeletal muscles or involuntary movements in organs like the heart.

Test: Animal Tissues - Question 18
Save

Light and dark bands can be seen in:

Detailed Solution: Question 18

The correct answer is A: Striated muscles.


  • Striated muscles are also known as skeletal muscles.

  • These muscles display a pattern of alternating light and dark bands, called striations.

  • This banding is due to the arrangement of actin and myosin filaments within the muscle fibers.

  • Smooth muscles and cardiac muscles do not have this distinct banding pattern.

Test: Animal Tissues - Question 19
Save

Neuron receives and transmits information and messages in the form of:

Detailed Solution: Question 19

Neurons receive and transmit information in the form of nerve impulses. These impulses travel along the length of the neuron and allow communication between different parts of the nervous system.

Test: Animal Tissues - Question 20
Save

Which of the following structures or substances is incorrectly paired with a tissue?

Detailed Solution: Question 20

Fibroblasts are cells found in connective tissues, not skeletal muscle. They are responsible for producing collagen and other fibers. Skeletal muscle contains muscle fibers, not fibroblasts. The other pairings are correct: the Haversian system is part of bone, platelets are found in blood, and chondroitin sulfate is a component of cartilage.
