Rheumatoid arthritis is an example of which type of disorder?
A. Immunodeficiency
B. Autoimmune disease
C. Infectious disease
D. Allergy
Answer: Option B
Solution (By JKSSB Mock Tests)
Rheumatoid arthritis is a chronic inflammatory autoimmune disease where the immune system mistakenly attacks the body's own healthy tissues, specifically the synovial membranes of joints. This leads to painful swelling, bone erosion, and joint deformity. Other examples of autoimmune diseases include Type 1 diabetes, multiple sclerosis, and systemic lupus erythematosus.

A. Motilin
B. Gastrin
C. Secretin
D. Cholecystokinin (CCK)

Correct Answer: Option D


Explanation:
CCK, released from the duodenum in response to fats, stimulates contraction of the gall bladder and release of bile, and also stimulates pancreatic enzyme secretion. Gastrin stimulates HCl, secretin bicarbonate, motilin GI motility.

Question #2
The type of joint that allows the head to rotate from side to side is:
A. Hinge joint
B. Pivot joint
C. Ball and socket joint
D. Gliding joint

Correct Answer: Option B


Explanation:
The atlantoaxial joint (between atlas and axis vertebrae) is a pivot joint, allowing rotation of the head ('no' motion). Hinge allows flexion/extension, ball and socket multiaxial, gliding sliding. The odontoid process of the axis acts as a pivot.

Question #3
In a cymose inflorescence, the growth of the main axis is:
A. Restricted to the base of the plant
B. Limited, ending in a flower, with lateral branches continuing growth
C. Continuous and terminates in a flower
D. Always forming a raceme

Correct Answer: Option B


Explanation:
In cymose inflorescence, the main floral axis has limited growth and terminates in a flower. Subsequent flowers are produced by lateral branches, which also terminate in flowers, creating a sympodial growth pattern. This is in contrast to racemose inflorescence, where the main axis continues to grow indefinitely (monopodial) and flowers are arranged in an acropetal or basipetal order.
