In which one of the following preparations are you likely to come across cell junctions most frequently?
1. Ciliated epithelium
2. Thrombocytes
3. Tendon
4. Hyaline cartilage
The cell junctions called tight, adhering and gap junctions are found in:
1. muscular tissue
2. connective tissue
3. epithelial tissue
4. neural tissue
The kind of epithelium which forms the inner walls of blood vessels is:
1. cuboidal epithelium
2. columnar epithelium
3. ciliated columnar epithelium
4. squamous epithelium
1. | the typhlosole greatly increases the effective absorption area of the digested food in the intestine |
2. | the S-shaped setae embedded in the integument are the defensive weapons used against the enemies |
3. | it has a long dorsal tubular heart |
4. | fertilization of eggs occurs inside the body |
Choose the correctly matched pair:
1. Inner lining of salivary ducts- Ciliated epithelium
2. Moist surface of buccal cavity- Glandular epithelium
3. Tubular parts of nephrons- Cuboidal epithelium
4. Inner surface of bronchioles- Squamous epithelium
Choose the correctly matched pair:
1. Tendon-Specialized connective tissue
2. Adipose tissue-Dense connective tissue
3. Areolar tissue- Loose connective tissue
4. Cartilage- Loose connective tissue
The function of the gap junction is to?
1. | Perform cementing to keep neighbouring cells together |
2. | Facilitate communication between adjoining cells by connecting the cytoplasm for rapid transfer of ions, small molecules and some large molecules |
3. | Separate two cells from each other |
4. | Stop substances from leaking across a tissue |
