The structure that produces cerebrospinal fluid is the: MCQ with Answer and Explanation

The structure that produces cerebrospinal fluid is the:
A. Subarachnoid space
B. Choroid plexus
C. Arachnoid villi
D. Dura mater
Answer: Option B
Solution (By JKSSB Mock Tests)
The choroid plexus, a network of ependymal cells and capillaries in the ventricles of the brain, continuously produces CSF by filtration and secretion. CSF circulates through ventricles and the subarachnoid space and is reabsorbed by arachnoid villi into the venous system. Dura mater is the outer protective membrane.

Question #1
Erythroblastosis fetalis is a severe condition caused by the incompatibility of blood groups between the mother and fetus, specifically involving the:
A. Kell antigen
B. Duffy antigen
C. ABO blood group system
D. Rh factor (Rhesus factor)

Correct Answer: Option D


Explanation:
Erythroblastosis fetalis (hemolytic disease of the newborn) is primarily caused by Rh incompatibility. It occurs when an Rh-negative mother carries an Rh-positive fetus. During the first pregnancy, fetal Rh+ red blood cells may enter the mother's circulation, prompting her to produce anti-Rh antibodies. In subsequent pregnancies with an Rh+ fetus, these antibodies cross the placenta and destroy the fetal red blood cells, causing severe anemia and jaundice.

Question #2
In which phase of mitosis does the nuclear envelope reform around the chromosomes?
A. Prophase
B. Metaphase
C. Anaphase
D. Telophase

Correct Answer: Option D


Explanation:
During telophase, the chromatids reach the poles, decondense, and the nuclear envelope reassembles around each set, forming two daughter nuclei. The spindle disappears. Prophase involves nuclear envelope breakdown, metaphase aligns chromosomes, and anaphase separates chromatids. Cytokinesis often overlaps with telophase, dividing the cytoplasm.

Question #3
The medical condition where the lens of the eye becomes opaque is:
A. Myopia
B. Cataract
C. Astigmatism
D. Glaucoma

Correct Answer: Option B


Explanation:
Cataract is clouding of the crystalline lens, causing blurred vision and eventual blindness if untreated. It is often age-related or due to UV exposure. Myopia is nearsightedness, glaucoma optic nerve damage, astigmatism irregular curvature. Cataract is treated by surgical removal and lens replacement.
