Hints & Solution
1. (1)
In multicellular animals, a group of similar cells
alongwith intercellular substances perform a specific
function. Such an organisation is called tissue.
These tissues are organised in specific proportion and
pattern to form an organ like stomach, lung, heart and
kidney. When two or more organs perform a common
function by their physical and/or chemical
interaction, they together form organ system, e.g.,
digestive system, respiratory system, etc.
Old NCERT, Class 11th Page No.- 100
2. (4)
The squamous epithelium is involved in functions
like forming a diffusion boundary.
The cuboidal epithelium is found in ducts of glands
and tubular parts of nephrons in kidneys and its main
functions are secretion and absorption.
The columnar epithelium is found in the lining of
stomach and intestine and help in secretion and
absorption.
Compound epithelium is made of more than one
layer (multi-layered) of cells and thus has a limited
role in secretion and absorption. Their main function
is to provide protection against chemical and
mechanical stresses.
Old NCERT, Class 11th Page No.- 101
3. (2)
On the basis of structural modification of the cells,
simple epithelium is further divided into three types.
These are (i) Squamous, (ii) Cuboidal, (iii) Columnar.
Old NCERT, Class 11th Page No.- 101
4. (3)
Simple epithelium is composed of a single layer of
cells and functions as a lining for body cavities, ducts,
and tubes. The compound epithelium consists of two
or more cell layers and has protective function as it
does in our skin.

organs in the animals.
Neural tissue exerts the greatest control over the
body’s responsiveness to changing conditions.
Smooth muscles are involuntary.
Skin is dense irregular connective tissue.
Old NCERT, Class 11th Page No.- 101
6. (2)
Areolar tissue present beneath the skin and serves as
a support framework for epithelium.
Adipose tissue is another type of loose connective
tissue located mainly beneath the skin. The cells of
this tissue are specialised to store fats. The excess of
nutrients which are not used immediately are
converted into fats and are stored in this tissue.
Fibres and fibroblasts are compactly packed in the
dense connective tissues.
Old NCERT, Class 11th Page no.- 103
7. (4)
Cardiac muscle tissue is a contractile tissue present
only in the heart. Cell junctions fuse the plasma
membranes of cardiac muscle cells and make them
stick together.
Old NCERT, Class 11th Page no.- 105
8. (1)
Smooth muscle and cardiac muscle are involuntary.
We usually are not able to make it contract merely by
thinking about it as we can do with skeletal muscles.
Old NCERT, Class 11th Page No.- 105
9. (4)
Endocrine glands are ductless.
Compound epithelium covers the dry surface of the
skin, the moist surface of buccal cavity, pharynx,
inner lining of ducts of salivary glands and of
pancreatic ducts.
In all connective tissues except blood, the cells
secrete fibres of structural proteins called collagen or
elastin. The fibres provide strength, elasticity and
flexibility to the tissue.
Old NCERT, Class 11th Page no.- 102, 103

10. (4)
Biceps are skeletal muscles.
The smooth muscle fibres taper at both ends
(fusiform) and do not show striations.

these cells are mainly present in the bronchioles and
fallopian tubes.
Old NCERT, Class 11th Page no.- 101, 102
13. (3)
In all connective tissues except blood, the fibroblast
cells secrete fibres of structural proteins called
collagen or elastin. The fibres provide strength,
elasticity and flexibility to the tissue. These cells also
modified polysaccharides, which accumulate
between cells and fibres and act as matrix (ground
substance).
Old NCERT, Class 11th Page no.- 103
14. (3)
When an action potential reaches the presynaptic
terminal, the action potential can trigger the release of
neurotransmitters into the synaptic cleft. These
neurotransmitters then bind to receptors on the
postsynaptic membrane, influencing the receiving
neuron in either an inhibitory or excitatory manner.

cells.
The simple squamous epithelium is made up of a

boundaries. They are found in the walls of blood
vessels and air sacs of lungs and are involved in a

Adipose tissue is formed by adipocytes (oval shaped
cells which stores fat). Fat is collected in the form of
fat globule. Fat globule is formed by the fusion of
small oil droplets. Adipose tissue is another type of
loose connective tissue located mainly beneath the
skin. The cells of this tissue are specialised to store
fats. The excess of nutrients which are not used
immediately are converted into fats and are stored in
this tissue.

All cells in epithelium are held together with little
intercellular material. In nearly all animal tissues,
specialized junctions provide both structural and
functional links between its individual cells. Three
types of cell junctions are found in the epithelium and
other tissues. These are called as tight, adhering and
gap junctions. Adhering junctions perform cementing
function to keep neighbouring cells together.

Urinary bladder is not lined by squamous epithelium
but by transitional epithelium which is a stretchable
compound epithelium. It has a single layer of
cuboidal cells at the base, 2-3 middle layers of large
polygonal cells and a superficial layer of large, broad
rectangular cells. Stretching considerably flattens and
broadens the cells of superficial and middle layers,
hence causing expansion of the urinary bladder.
Old NCERT, Class 11th Page no.- 101
26. (4)
Tight junctions help to stop substances from leaking
across a tissue. Adhering junctions perform
cementing to keep neighbouring cells together. Gap
junctions facilitate the cells to communicate with
each other by connecting the cytoplasm of adjoining
cells. Communication junctions (intercalated discs) at
some fusion points allow the cells to contract as a
unit.
Old NCERT, Class 11th Page no.- 102
