Answer 1

Question 10

Which of the following is NOT a function of epithelial tissue?

Answer:- often binds other tissues together

Explanation:- Epithelial tissue covers body surfaces and lines the inside of organs and body cavities. The functions of epithelial tissue includes: protection, detection of sensation, secretion, absorption and excretion. Where as connective tissue often binds other tissues together.

Question 14

Which of the following is NOT a function of the trachea?

Answer:-prevent food from entering the lungs

Explanation:- Trachea also known as windpipe provides a pathway for air to enter and exit from lungs. It produces sheets of mucous that trap dust and debris to prevent it from entering the lungs. Whereas epiglottis (food pipe) prevents food from entering the lungs.

Question 16

Which of these is NOT typically found at a synapse?

Answer:-glial cells

Explanation:- Synapse is a meeting junction or site of contact of a neuron with another neuron with an effector that mediate a transfer of information from one neuron to the next or from a neuron to an effector cell. At typical synapse, synaptic vesicles, a synaptic cleft and neurotransmitter receptors are found.

Question 18

Targets of the autonomic nervous system include all of the following except:

Answer:-skeletal muscles

Explanation:- Autonomic nervous system (ANS) regulates activity of smooth muscle, cardiac muscle, blood vessels and certain endocrine glands.

Question 25

Which of the following hormones is not considered a stress hormone?

Answer:-insulin

Explanation:- Epinephrine, norepinephrine and cortisol are considered stress hormones. Epinephrine and norepinephrine are released from adrenal medulla of the adrenal gland whereas cortisol released from the adrenal cortex.

Question 29

Your physician tells you that you have an excess amount of glucose in your urine. What could this be a symptom of?

Answer:-type II diabetes

Explanation:- Glucose is the type of sugar found in the blood. Normally there is very little or no glucose in urine. When the blood sugar level is very high, as in type II diabetes an excess amount glucose can also be found in urine as there is a dysfunction in glucose metabolism.
