A. Lining of the trachea
B. Outer layer of the skin
C. Inner lining of the intestine
D. Cavities of bones
Answer: Tall columnar cells line the intestine, where they help in absorption of digested food.
A. Stomach
B. Respiratory tract (trachea)
C. Heart
D. Kidney
Answer: Ciliated epithelium bearing hair-like cilia lines the respiratory tract and helps sweep mucus and dust upward.
A. Nervous tissue
B. Blood
C. Cartilage
D. Epithelial tissue
Answer: Nervous tissue is made of neurons that conduct nerve impulses for coordination and control.
A. Epithelial tissue
B. Muscular tissue
C. Connective tissue
D. Nervous tissue
Answer: Blood is a connective tissue with a fluid matrix called plasma.
A. Platelets
B. White blood cells
C. Plasma proteins
D. Red blood cells containing haemoglobin
Answer: Red blood cells contain haemoglobin, which binds and transports oxygen.
A. Red blood cells
B. White blood cells
C. Platelets
D. Plasma
Answer: White blood cells protect the body by destroying pathogens and producing antibodies.
A. Carrying oxygen to tissues
B. Producing antibodies
C. Blood clotting
D. Transporting carbon dioxide
Answer: Platelets help in blood clotting, preventing excessive blood loss from wounds.
A. Plasma
B. Haemoglobin
C. Cytoplasm
D. Chyle
Answer: Plasma is the pale-yellow liquid part of blood in which blood cells are suspended.
A. Haemoglobin and iron
B. Calcium salts and other minerals
C. Starch and cellulose
D. Suberin and cutin
Answer: Bone matrix is hardened by deposits of calcium salts such as calcium phosphate, making bones rigid.
A. It is the hardest tissue in the body
B. It transports oxygen in the blood
C. It is a flexible semi-rigid connective tissue with a rubbery matrix
D. It produces digestive enzymes
Answer: Cartilage is a flexible, semi-rigid connective tissue that supports and cushions joints, the nose and the ears.
A. Bone to bone
B. Muscle to bone
C. Nerve to muscle
D. Two bones at a joint
Answer: Tendons are tough cords of connective tissue that attach muscles to bones.
A. Bone to bone
B. Muscle to bone
C. Nerve to muscle
D. Skin to muscle
Answer: Ligaments are elastic connective tissue bands that join bones to bones at joints.
A. Blood
B. Neuron
C. Adipose tissue
D. Epithelial tissue
Answer: Adipose tissue stores fat, provides insulation and acts as an energy reserve.
A. Conducting nerve impulses
B. Pumping blood around the body
C. Producing mucus
D. Binding and supporting organs as packing tissue
Answer: Areolar tissue is loose connective tissue that fills spaces and binds organs together.
A. Blood
B. Bone
C. Cartilage
D. Tendon
Answer: Blood is a connective tissue whose matrix is the liquid called plasma.
A. Smooth muscle
B. Skeletal muscle
C. Cardiac muscle
D. Visceral muscle
Answer: Skeletal muscle has light and dark bands (striations) and moves under our conscious control.
A. In the skeleton
B. In the heart only
C. Walls of internal organs such as the stomach and intestine
D. In the brain
Answer: Smooth muscle lines the walls of hollow internal organs like the stomach, intestine and blood vessels.
A. Lungs
B. Stomach
C. Skeletal system
D. Heart
Answer: Cardiac muscle, which pumps blood, is found only in the walls of the heart.
A. Cardiac muscle is involuntary and has intercalated discs
B. Cardiac muscle has no nuclei
C. Cardiac muscle is under voluntary control
D. Cardiac muscle lacks striations
Answer: Cardiac muscle contracts involuntarily and its branched cells are joined by intercalated discs.
A. Skeletal muscle
B. Cardiac muscle
C. Smooth muscle
D. Voluntary muscle
Answer: Smooth muscle cells are spindle-shaped, non-striated and each has a single central nucleus.
