- D. Cartilagin
- E. None
Explanation: Proteoglycans consist of polysaccharides attached with protein chondroitin.
Correct answer: Chondroitin- A. Elastic cartilage
- B. Fibrous cartilage
- C. Perichondrium
- D. Hyaline cartilage
Explanation: Hyaline cartilage is the most abundant type of cartilage and is found in the nose, ears, trachea, larynx, and smaller respiratory tubes.
Correct answer: Hyaline cartilage- A. Fibrous
- B. Hyaline
- C. Elastic
- D. Flexible
Explanation: Hyaline cartilage is a glossy, greyish-white tissue with a uniform appearance.
Correct answer: Hyaline- A. Lacks vascular supply
- B. Lacks mineral deposits in matrix
- C. Has less number of cells deep down
- D. Lacks protein in matrix
Explanation: Cartilage is more difficult to heal than bone primarily because it lacks a vascular supply, meaning it has very limited blood flow.
Correct answer: Lacks vascular supply- A. Skin
- B. Liver
- C. Large intestine
- D. Both A and B
Explanation: Skin covers our entire body and has the largest surface area out of all the organs.
Correct answer: Skin- A. Hyaline cartilage
- B. Elastic cartilage
- C. Fibrocartilage
- D. None of these
Explanation: Hyaline cartilage is the most common type of cartilage in your body. It lines your joints and caps the ends of your bones.
Correct answer: Hyaline cartilage- A. Alkaline phosphatase
- B. LDH-1
- C. Acidic phosphatase
- D. None of these options are correct
Explanation: The enzyme that is raised in rickets is alkaline phosphatase. Alkaline phosphatase is an enzyme that is involved in the mineralization of…
Correct answer: Alkaline phosphatase18210. Gliding joints are found in:
- A. Ankles
- B. Skull
- C. Vertebrae
- D. Elbow
- E. Shoulder
Explanation: Explanation for this question will be added soon.
Correct answer: Vertebrae- A. Shoulder
- B. Wrist
- C. Elbow
- D. Knee
Explanation: The "ball" is the top, rounded part of the humerus, and the "socket" is the bowl-shaped part of the scapula,into which the ball fits.
Correct answer: Shoulder- A. Intervertebral disc
- B. Skul bones
- C. Costal cartilage
- D. Pubic symphysis
Explanation: The bones of the skull are an example. The immovable joints between the plates of the skull are known as sutures.
Correct answer: Skul bones- A. Fibrous joints
- B. Synovial joints
- C. Cartilaginous joints
- D. Gliding joints
Explanation: Both pubic symphysis and intervertebral discs are types of cartilaginous joints.
Correct answer: Cartilaginous joints- A. Thick, soft, and flexible
- B. Thin, soft, and flexible
- C. Thin, hard, and immovable
- D. Thick, hard, and flexible
Explanation: At joints, the exoskeleton is quite thin and flexible as it lacks a cuticle and helps in the movement of muscles of the arthropods.
Correct answer: Thin, soft, and flexible- A. Pituitary gland
- B. Adrenal gland
- C. Rectal gland
- D. Both Pituitary and Rectal glands
Explanation: The pituitary gland's posterior lobe is largely made up of axons of neurosecretory cells of the hypothalamus where ADH is produced.
Correct answer: Pituitary gland- A. Anhydrobiosis
- B. Osmoregulators
- C. Thermoregulatory
- D. Osmoconformers
Explanation: "Osmoregulators" tightly regulate their body osmolarity, which always stays constant and is more common in the animal kingdom.
Correct answer: Osmoconformers- A. Kangaroo rat
- B. Pig
- C. Camel
- D. Kangaroo
Explanation: Kangaroo rats, because their habitats are hot and dry, must conserve water.
