The process of new blood vessel formation is called: MCQ with Answer and Explanation

The process of new blood vessel formation is called:
A. Hematopoiesis
B. Vasodilation
C. Vasoconstriction
D. Angiogenesis
Answer: Option D
Solution (By JKSSB Mock Tests)
Angiogenesis is the growth of new blood vessels from pre-existing ones, important in development, wound healing, and tumor growth. Vasodilation is widening, vasoconstriction narrowing of vessels. Hematopoiesis is blood cell formation. Inhibiting angiogenesis is a cancer therapy strategy.

Question #1
The process by which water-soluble nutrients are washed out of decomposing organic matter into the soil is called:
A. Catabolism
B. Fragmentation
C. Leaching
D. Humification

Correct Answer: Option C


Explanation:
Decomposition involves several steps. Leaching is the process where water-soluble inorganic nutrients (like nitrates, phosphates) are washed out of the decomposing organic matter (detritus) and move deep into the soil profile, where they may become unavailable to plants. Fragmentation is the breakdown of detritus by detritivores (like earthworms).

Question #2
The valve between the left atrium and left ventricle is the:
A. Tricuspid valve
B. Aortic semilunar valve
C. Pulmonary semilunar valve
D. Bicuspid (mitral) valve

Correct Answer: Option D


Explanation:
The bicuspid valve (mitral valve) has two cusps and is located between the left atrium and left ventricle, preventing backflow during ventricular systole. The tricuspid valve is on the right side. Semilunar valves are at the exits of the aorta and pulmonary artery. Mitral valve prolapse is a common condition.

Question #3
The functional unit of the kidney is the:
A. Neuron
B. Hepatocyte
C. Nephron
D. Alveolus

Correct Answer: Option C


Explanation:
The nephron is the structural and functional unit of the kidney, responsible for filtration, reabsorption, and secretion to form urine. Each kidney has about 1 million nephrons. A nephron consists of the Bowman's capsule, glomerulus, proximal convoluted tubule, loop of Henle, distal convoluted tubule, and collecting duct. Neurons are units of nervous system, alveoli of lungs, hepatocytes of liver.
