Which of the following represents correct set of the cells and their shapes in human beings A Nerve cell i) flat shaped B Red blood cell ii) disc shaped C White blood cell iii) long and thin D Muscle cell iv) changing shapes E Skin cell v) long and branched Correct Answer <span style="">(A) - (v), (B) - (ii), (C) - (iv), (D) - (iii), (E) - (i)</span>

The correct answer is (A) - (v), (B) - (ii), (C) - (iv), (D) - (iii), (E) - (i).

Explanation:

Nerve cells:

  • Nerve cells are long and branched because nerve cells require more surface area to pass signals from cell to cell.
  • Their branch structure allows them to receive and transfer messages, allowing them to control and coordinate the functions of various parts of the body.

Red blood cells:

  • Red blood cells are also called Erythrocytes. 
  • ed blood cells are biconcave and disc-shaped.
  • Size varies from 6 – 8 µm in diameter.

White blood cells:

  • The white blood cells are also called Leukocytes. 
  • White blood cells have no distinct shape.
  • Size varies from 12 – 17 µm in diameter.

Muscle cell:

  • Muscles are mostly made up of muscle cells, which are also known as muscle fibers.
  • Each muscle cell is a long, thin cell.

Skin cell:

  • Most of the skin cells are flat, scale-like squamous cells.
  • These cells can also be found in the throat, the respiratory and digestive systems, and hollow organs like the kidneys.

Read the following passage carefully and choose the most appropriate answer to the question out of the four alternatives.
The human eye is a complex part of the body that is used for seeing. Eyes enable people to perform daily tasks and to learn about the world that surrounds them. Sight, or vision, is a rapidly occurring process that involves continuous interaction between the eye, the nervous system, and the brain. When someone looks at an object, what he really sees is the light reflected from the object. This reflected light passes through the lens and falls on the retina of the eye. Here the light induces nerve impulses that travel through the optic nerve to the brain and then over other nerves to muscles and glands.
The eye is similar to a television camera. Both the eye and the television camera convert light energy to electrical energy. The eye converts light to nerve impulses that are interpreted by the brain as the sense perception called sight. A television camera converts light to electronic signals that are broadcast and transformed into light images in a television receiver. It is wonderful that human eyes blink an average of once every six seconds. This washes the eye with the salty secretion from the tear or lachrymal glands. Each tear gland is about the size and shape of an almond. These glands are situated behind the upper eyelid at the outer corner of the eye. After passing over the eye, the liquid from the gland is drained into the nose through the tear duct at the inner corner of the eye. The sense perception that the brain releases after the eye converts light to nerve impulses is known as
