The first heart sound 'lub' is produced by the closure of: MCQ with Answer and Explanation

The first heart sound 'lub' is produced by the closure of:
A. Atrioventricular (AV) valves
B. Semilunar valves
C. Both AV and semilunar valves
D. Pulmonary valve only
Answer: Option A
Solution (By JKSSB Mock Tests)
The 'lub' sound occurs at the beginning of ventricular systole when the atrioventricular valves (mitral and tricuspid) close to prevent backflow of blood into the atria. The 'dub' sound occurs at the beginning of diastole due to closure of the semilunar valves (aortic and pulmonary). Valve closure is passive, resulting from pressure gradients.

Question #1
The myelin sheath around axons in the peripheral nervous system is formed by:
A. Astrocytes
B. Schwann cells
C. Microglia
D. Oligodendrocytes

Correct Answer: Option B


Explanation:
In the peripheral nervous system (PNS), Schwann cells wrap around axons to form the myelin sheath, which insulates axons and increases the speed of nerve impulse conduction (saltatory conduction). In the central nervous system (CNS), oligodendrocytes perform this function. Astrocytes support neurons, microglia act as immune cells. Nodes of Ranvier are gaps in the myelin sheath.

Which of the following is an example of a Bryophyte?
A. Pinus
B. Spirogyra
C. Funaria
D. Fern

Correct Answer: Option C


Explanation:
Bryophytes are non-vascular land plants that include mosses, liverworts, and hornworts. Funaria is a common moss and a classic example of a bryophyte. Spirogyra is a green alga, ferns are pteridophytes (vascular cryptogams), and Pinus is a gymnosperm.
