2. CASE STUDY BASED QUESTIONS

Case A – Epithelial Tissue:
Epithelial cells line body surfaces and perform absorption, secretion, and protection functions. These include squamous, cuboidal, and columnar epithelium, often modified into glandular or ciliated types.

11. Which epithelium prevents mixing between internal systems?

12. What type of epithelium is found in blood vessels?

13. Where is fat stored in the human body and what is its use?
    OR
    How are glandular epithelia formed?

Case B – Connective Tissue:
Connective tissues support and bind various body parts. They have a matrix that varies from fluid (in blood) to rigid (in bones).

14. How are connective tissue cells arranged in their matrix?

15. What kind of matrix is present in cartilage?

16. Differentiate between ligament and tendon.
    OR
    Write two differences between bone and cartilage.

3. ASSERTION AND REASON TYPE QUESTIONS

17. Assertion: Intestinal lining has tall epithelial cells.
     Reason: Columnar epithelium supports absorption and secretion.

18. Assertion: Ciliated epithelium helps in particle movement.
     Reason: Cilia push substances like mucus along surfaces.

19. Assertion: Squamous epithelium has flat, irregular cells.
     Reason: Found in the inner walls of capillaries.

20. Assertion: Simple epithelium prevents mechanical injury.
     Reason: Located in organs subjected to wear and tear.

21. Assertion: Skin is waterproof.
     Reason: Stratified cuboidal epithelium covers the skin surface.

4. VERY SHORT ANSWER TYPE QUESTIONS

22. What is the primary role of blood in the body?

23. Define ciliated columnar epithelium and state its function.

24. Differentiate voluntary and involuntary muscles with one example each.

25. What tissue forms the inner lining of blood vessels?

26. Which epithelium is found in the lining of the small intestine?

27. Why do Arctic animals have thicker layers of fat?

5. SHORT ANSWER TYPE QUESTIONS

28. What are bone cells called? What do they do?

29. Compare striated, smooth, and cardiac muscles in a table.

30. How are messages transmitted across the body?

31. Draw a labelled diagram of a neuron and explain its parts.

32. Mention three characteristics of smooth muscles.

6. LONG ANSWER TYPE QUESTIONS

33. Explain the types of epithelial tissues with diagrams.

34. What are the two main parts of blood? Why is it called connective tissue?

35. Describe different connective tissues and their functions.

36. Draw labelled diagrams of all muscle types and explain them.

7. BOARD-STYLE QUESTIONS

37. Explain how division of labour is seen in multicellular organisms.

38. Name all xylem elements and describe their roles.

39. Make labelled diagrams of connective tissues and write one key point for each.

40. Define the following:
     (a) Cuticle (b) Cork (c) Tendons

41. List any three features of cardiac muscles.

42. State two differences between cartilage and bone.

43. What is the function of areolar connective tissue?

44. Why are skeletal muscles known as voluntary muscles?

45. How does stratified epithelium provide protection?

46. Name the connective tissue involved in immune response.

47. State the importance of nervous tissue in animals.

48. Describe the role of the matrix in connective tissues.

49. Why are tendons strong but not very flexible?
