1. Describe structure of para-sympathetic nerve.
Short pre and long post ganglion nerve
Long pre and short post ganglion nerve
Short pre and short post ganglion nerve
Long pre and long post ganglion nerve
2. Why do more specialised cells tend to proliferate less?
They no longer have the mechanisms required
It is less easy to regulate
Only stem cells proliferate
Energy and nutrients reserved for function
3. Which is not a function of the endoplasmic reticulum
Producing ribosomal RNA
Tagging malformed proteins for degradation
Chaperoning protein folding
Non protein synthesis
4. What makes proteoglycans good cushions in connective tissues
Sugar chains make them more stable and prevent wearing away
Negatively charged saccharide chains repel to form spongey matrix
Sugar chains help proteins to bond strongly to each other
5. What markers do helper T cells always have?
CD35, CD3, CD4, CD8
CD45, CD3, CD4
CD45, CD35, CD4
CD45, CD3, CD8
6. What does adenylate cyclase do?
Activates GPCRs
Stimulates Ca2+ influx into cells
Activates protein kinase A
Phosphorylates proteins
7. Which epithelial tissue is found in small intestine?
Stratified columnar
Pseudostratified columnar
Stratified squamous
Simple columnar
8. Which is not a property of pseudo-stratified columnar epithelial tissue?
Single layer
All cells bound to basal membrane
Varied height of nuclei
Different lengths
9. Which is not part of positive feedback loop that causes hyperthermia?
Reduced blood flow to skin
Reduced heat loss
Lower respiratory rate
Low cardiac output
10. Where does affinity maturation mostly occur?
Red pulp of spleen
Bone marrow
Germinal centre
Thymus
11. What is a nerve plexus?
Where nerves separate to supply different tissues
When nerves form a thicker fibre with more nerve cells
Where autonomic nerve meets ganglion
When nerves join into a network with those above and below
12. Which is not a part of connective tissue?
Collagen
Basal membrane
Elastin
Ground substance
13. What is ultrasound bad at viewing?
The heart
Areas of behind air
Areas surrounded by lots of fat
Structures near surface
14. Where is immunoglobulin IgD only found?
Blood serum (after clotting)
Tracheal mucous
Bone marrow
Bodily fluids (not blood)
15. Why are haemotoxylin and eosin used together?
Both are acidic so create acidic conditions to enable cell to viewed
Different colours create clearer images
Haem = basic, eosin = acidic so bind to most substances
They activate each other's dye properties
16. Give root values for brachial plexus
T5 to T12
C1 to C4
C5 to T1
L1 to L5
17. Which specialised skin cell helps the skin to be protective?
Melanocytes
Merkel cells
Epidermal stem cells
18. Which cells produce bone?
Chondroclasts
Chondrocytes
Osteoclasts
Osteocytes
19. Which muscle type is long lived and hard to replace?
Diaphragm
Cardiac
Smooth
Skeletal
20. What do DNA ligases do?
Unwind DNA for protein synthesis
Join adjacent Ozaki fragments in RNA processing
Splice RNA to produce alternative isoforms
Synthesise DNA polymer
