A. Aorta
B. Umbilical vein
C. Pulmonary artery
D. Umbilical artery
Answer: Option B
Solution (By JKSSB Mock Tests)
The umbilical vein carries oxygen-rich and nutrient-rich blood from the placenta to the fetal circulation. The two umbilical arteries carry deoxygenated blood and waste from the fetus to the placenta. In the adult, veins typically carry deoxygenated blood, but umbilical vein is an exception.

Which of the following statements about animal tissues is correct?
A. Neurons are the only cells that produce myelin.
B. Cardiac muscle is striated and involuntary.
C. Skeletal muscle is involuntary and striated.
D. Smooth muscle is voluntary and non-striated.

Correct Answer: Option B


Explanation:
Cardiac muscle has striations and contracts involuntarily. Skeletal muscle is voluntary, smooth involuntary; myelin is produced by Schwann cells (PNS) and oligodendrocytes (CNS), not neurons.

Question #2
During inspiration, the diaphragm:
A. Moves laterally
B. Relaxes and becomes dome-shaped
C. Contracts and flattens
D. Remains unchanged

Correct Answer: Option C


Explanation:
Inspiration (inhalation) occurs when the intra-pulmonary pressure is less than the atmospheric pressure. This is achieved by the contraction of the diaphragm, which flattens and moves downwards, and the contraction of external intercostal muscles, which lift the ribs and sternum. This increases the thoracic volume and lung capacity, drawing air in. Expiration involves relaxation of these muscles.

Question #3
The process of artificially introducing weakened pathogens to stimulate immunity is called:
A. Antibiosis
B. Immunotherapy
C. Chemotherapy
D. Vaccination

Correct Answer: Option D


Explanation:
Vaccination (immunization) involves administering killed or attenuated pathogens, or their antigens, to induce active artificial immunity without causing disease. It primes the immune system to produce memory cells. Antibiosis is inhibition by another organism, immunotherapy treats disease by modulating immune response, chemotherapy uses drugs against cancer or microbes.
