Areolar connective tissue joins

  • fat body with muscles

  • integument with muscles

  • bones with muscles

  • bones with bones

Solution

B.

integument with muscles

Loose or aerolar connective tissue is the most generalized connective tissue, which is spread extensively throughout the body - under the skin and epithelia, around and in between the muscles, around nerves and blood vessels between lobes and lobules of compound glands, in the submucosa of respiratory and gastrointestinal tracts.
It functions mainly for binding the parts together but also helps in sliding movement of epithelia, muscles and other parts and also forms the internal histological framework or stroma of many solid organs.

Choose the correctly matched pair.

  • Tendon - Specialised connective tissue

  • Adipose tissue - Dense connective tissue

  • Tubular parts of nephrons - Cuboidal epithelium

  • Cartilage - Loose connective tissue

Solution

C.

Tubular parts of nephrons - Cuboidal epithelium

Areolar tissue is a to the body loose connective tissue, and provide flexibility and cushioning Adipose tissue is also loose connective tissue while, the tendon is a dense connective tissue, which connect the muscleswith the bone, carilage is composed of specified connective tissue cvalled chondrocytes that produce a large amount of extracellular matrix composed of collagen fibre.

Compared to those of humans, the erythrocytes in frog are

  • without nucleus but with haemoglobin

  • nucleated and with haemoglobin

  • very much smaller and fewer

  • nucleated and without haemoglobin

Solution

D.

nucleated and without haemoglobin

RBCs or erythrocytes of frog are oval, disc-like biconvex, have centrally placed nucleus and with haemoglobin. Usually in mammals (including human), RBCs are circular and non-nucleated except those of family Camilladae (camels, llamas, etc), which have nucleated RBCs

Consider the following four statements (I - IV)related to the common frog Rana tigrina, and select the correct option stating which ones are true (T) and which one are false (F).

I. On dry land it would die due to lack of O2 its mouth is forcibly kept closed for a few days.
II. It has four - chambered heart

Frogs respire on land and in the water by two different methods. In water, skin acts as an aquatic respiratory organ (cutaneous respiration). Dissolved O2 in the water is exchanged through the skin by diffusion. On land, the buccal cavity skin and lungs act as the respiratory organs. The respiration by lungs is called is called pulmonary respiration.
In frog, heart has three -chambers, two atria and one ventricle, and is covered by a membrane called pericardium
The frog excreates area and thus is a ureotelic animal. It never becomes uricotelic. In the frog, fertilisation is external and takes place in water.

Question
CBSEENBI11002663

Earthworms are

  • ureotelic when plenty of water is available

  • ureotelic when plenty of water is available

  • uricotelic under conditions of water scarcity

  • ammonotelic when plenty of water is available

Solution

D.

ammonotelic when plenty of water is available

Class Oligochaeta includes terrestrial earthworms and some other species that live in fresh water. Aquatic oligochaetes excrete ammonia while terrestrial oligochaetes excrete urea but Lumbricus produces both ammonia and urea.
