 34 Animal Tissues
18. (c) The outer most layer in epidermis of skin is
consist of keratinized stratified squamous
epithelium cells. These cells slowly become
dead, non nucleated and water proof.
20. (c) The cells of simple squamous epithelium are
flat tile like, polygonal cells with a centrally
located and oval or spherical nucleus. It is also
known as tessellated or pavement epithelium.
21. (a) Cells of epithelium are set very close to each
other, neighbouring cells are held together by
cell junctions or desmosomes.
26. (c) The process of differentiation of tissue is called
histogenesis.
27. (a) Epithelial tissue has great regeneration power
because when epithelia are injured they
regenerate more rapidly than other tissues
and thus faciliate rapid healing of wounds.
28. (b) Since they may not perform the same function
commonly.
29. (b) The skin epidermis of vertebrate animals is
consist of keratinizing squamous epithelium in
which cells of upper layer are dead with
insoluble dead fibrous keratin protein.
31. (a) The entire body is enveloped in a casing of
cornified (epithelium) dead cells that protect
against drying and bacterial invasion.
34. (a) Bronchus is ciliated and traps the foreign
particles.
35. (d) Epithelia regenerate more rapidly than other
tissues when injured.
37. (a) Keratinised epithelium protects the underlying
tissues from mechanical injury.
39. (b) Simple columnar epithelium lines the stomach,
the small and large intestines, the digestive
glands and the gall bladder.
41. (d) Following embryonic layers give rise to
Ectoderm – Epidermis
Mesoderm – Mesothelium
Endoderm – Epithelium of alimentary
canal
43. (a) The cell of Germinal epithelium is cuboidal,
which are capable of produces gametes.
44. (b) Psedostratified epithelium is found in trachea,
large bronchi, parotid, salivary gland and
urethra of the human male.
46. (c) Ependymal cells form inner lining of central
canal of spinal cord and the ventricles of the
brain.
47. (a) Sweat glands are simple coiled tubular glands.
On the basis of shape of secretory unit, which
are found in dermis of skin.
48. (d) Heterocrine glands possess, partly exocrine
with duct and partly endocrine without duct,
e.g., pancreas and gonads.
50. (c) On the basis of mode of secretion pancreas,
salivary gland and goblet cells are type of
merocrine. In which secretion diffuses out
through the cell surface.
51. (a) In type of apocrine gland, secretory products
accumulate at the apical margin. It pinches off
from rest of the cell. The cell repairs the lost
part, e.g., mammary gland.
Connective tissue
1. (b) Each liver lobe is formed of hexagonal lobules
surrounded by a connective tissue sheath
called Glisson’s capsule.
4. (d) Mast cells occur in connective tissue proper,
these are modified basphils of blood. Mast
cells secrete heparin, histamine and serotonin.
5. (a) Macrophages are large amoeboid cells which
phagocytose and destroy microbes, dead cells
inert foreign particles etc.
7. (d) Areolar tissue fixes skin to underlying muscles
or joins integument with muscles.
8. (c) Ligaments are yellow elastic fibrous
connective tissue while tendons are white
collagen fibrous connective tissue.
9. (a) Collagen fibres are white formed of a protein,
occur in bundles, thick nonelastic with great
tensile strength.
10. (d) Adipose tissue is a specialized loose
connective tissue in which the fibroblast are
modified for fat storage. Prominent adipose
tissue sites are subcutaneous fat (panniculus
adiposes) blubber of whales and hump of
camel.
11. (c) Because adipose tissue takes part in the
storage of fat which has the highest calorific
value.
15. (d) Three types of fibres collagen, elastic and
reticular are found in connective tissue. Each
fibre consist collagen, elastin and reticulin
respectively.
18. (d) Areolar tissue contains fibroblast,
macrophages mast cells, plasma cells,
lymphocytes and adipose cells etc.
19. (a) Histiocyte is a phagocytic cell which found in
loose connective tissue.
 Animal Tissues 35
20. (a) Epithelia is highly regenerative, when injured,
they regenerate more rapidly than other
tissues and thus facilitate rapid healing of
wounds.
24. (c) White fibre is made up of collagen protein
where as yellow fibre is made up of elastin
protein.
27. (a) On oxidation, brown fat yields about 20 times
more energy than ordinary fat.
28. (b) Reticular connective tissue consists of
interlacking reticular fibre. These tissue helps
to form the framework or stroma of many
organs including the liver, spleen and lymph
node.
31. (c) Adipocyte are fats cells, which are drived from
a fibroblast. These adipocyte are found in
connective tissue.
33. (b) Ligament is a modified yellow elastic fibrous
tissue which occur in the form of cords and
binds a bone cartilage with another bone
cartilage it contains white fibers alongwith
yellow fibres.
35. (d) Mast cell is found in the ground substance of
areolar connective tissue. They secrete
heparin and histamine.
36. (c) Macrophages engulf the invading microbes
and destroy them.
39. (d) It is albuminous protein which on boiling in
water, changes into gelatin.
40. (c) As it has a large matrix with almost all types of
cells and fibres.
42. (d) Albumin is globular protein.
45, (d) Because adipose tissue is subcutaneous.
46. (c) Adipose tissue may be distinguished into two
separate morphological type. White or
unilocular fat and brown or multilocular fat.
47. (a) Areolar tissue fixes skin to underlying muscles
or joins integument with muscles.

Skeletal tissue
1. (c) Mammalian bone is characterized by the
presence of haversian system or osteon.
Osteon is a basic structural unit of mammalian
bone consisting of the haversian canal,
lamellae and lacunae.
3. (b) Most of embryonic skeleton consists of hyaline
cartilage. It later becomes bony. Cartilage is
converted into bone by replacement of
chondroblasts with osteoblasts and of chondrin
with ossein. Common cartilagenous bone are
humerus, femur, other limb bones, girdles, ribs
and vertebrae.
4. (b) Bone is also a metabolically dynamic tissue
which functions as a homeostatic reservoir of
ions of calcium, magnesium, phosphorous etc.
About 97% of total calcium of body occurs in
the endoskeleton.
