Elbow joint is an example of 

  • pivot joint

  • hinge joint

  • gliding joint

  • ball and socket joint

Solution

B.

hinge joint

In hinge joint, the convex surface of one bone fits into the concave surface of another bone. eg, knee elbow and interphalangeal joints.
Pivot joint, one bone is fixed and second articulated, eg, atlas and axial of skull rotate with axis vertebra.
Gliding joints primarily permit side-by-side and back and forth gliding movements, eg, intercarpal joints and intertarsal joints.
In ball and socket joint, a ball of one bone articulates in sockets of another bone, eg, head of the humerus and glenoid cavity of the pectoral girdle.

The epithelial tissue present on the inner surface of bronchioles and fallopian tubes is 

  • cuboidal

  • glandular

  • ciliated

  • squamous

Solution

C.

ciliated

Giliated columnar epithelium lines respiratory tract (lower end of bronchi) fallopian tubes, ventricles of brain (ependyma) central canal of spinal cord, etc. Cuboidal epithelium occurs in certain parts of nephrons of the kidneys.
Glandular epithelium are specialised for secretory activities eg, unicellular multicellular, exocrine, endocrine, heterocrine glands, etc.
Squamous epithelium forms lining of blood vessels, lymph vessel, heart, peritoneum, pleura, Bowman's capsule, etc,

Which one of the following pairs of food components in humans reaches the stomach totally undigested?

  • Protein and starch

  • Starch and fat

  • Fat and cellulose

  • Starch and cellulose

Solution

C.

Fat and cellulose

In humans, starch is digested in the buccopharyngeal cavity. Cellulose is not digested in the humans because cellulose contains β -1, 4-linkages and vertebrates themselves do not possess any enzymes capable of hydrolyzing β-1, 4 - linkages. Protein is digested in stomach and fat in the small intestine.Thus in the given options, fat and cellulose reach totally undigested in the stomach of humans
