,Section A - Microscope USE AND CARE
Q1.
A histology slide shows elongated cells with central nuclei and faint striations. These cells
branch and connect via intercalated discs. Which tissue is this?
A. Skeletal muscle B. Cardiac muscle
C. Smooth muscle D. Multinucleated skeletal muscle
Correct: B - Cardiac muscle
Rationale:Cardiac muscle cells are branched, uninucleate, and have intercalated discs.
Skeletal muscle is multinucleate and unbranched; smooth muscle lacks striations and
intercalated discs.
Q2.
During an experiment, a student places a piece of fresh potato in a beaker of distilled
water. After 30 minutes, the potato strip becomes rigid. Which process best explains this
change?
A. Osmosis of water into cells causing B. Active transport of ions out of cells
turgor pressure
C. Plasmolysis due to hypertonic D. Facilitated diffusion of glucose into cells
environment
Correct: A - Osmosis of water into cells causing turgor pressure
Rationale:Distilled water is hypotonic; water enters potato cells by osmosis, increasing turgor
pressure and rigidity. Plasmolysis occurs in hypertonic solutions; active transport and
facilitated diffusion are not primary here.
Q3.
A lab technician uses a microscope with a 10x eyepiece and a 40x objective. What is the
total magnification?
A. 50x B. 400x
C. 1000x D. 40x
Correct: B - 400x
Rationale:Total magnification = eyepiece magnification × objective magnification = 10 × 40 =
400x. 50x would be 10×5; 1000x requires 100× objective; 40x is just the objective.

Q4.
A patient presents with a fracture that extends through the skin. Which type of fracture is
this?
A. Simple (closed) fracture B. Compound (open) fracture
C. Greenstick fracture D. Comminuted fracture
Correct: B - Compound (open) fracture
Rationale:A compound (open) fracture involves the bone breaking through the skin. Simple
fractures do not break the skin; greenstick is an incomplete fracture in children; comminuted
involves multiple bone fragments.
Q5.
Which labeled structure on a spinal cord cross-section contains the cell bodies of somatic
motor neurons?
A. Dorsal horn B. Ventral horn
C. Lateral horn D. Central canal
Correct: B - Ventral horn
Rationale:The ventral (anterior) horn contains cell bodies of somatic motor neurons. Dorsal
horn contains sensory neurons; lateral horn has autonomic motor neurons; central canal is a
fluid-filled space.
Q6.
A student observes a slide of the small intestine and identifies a layer with both circular
and longitudinal smooth muscle. This layer is the:
A. Mucosa B. Submucosa
C. Muscularis externa D. Serosa
Correct: C - Muscularis externa
Rationale:The muscularis externa consists of inner circular and outer longitudinal smooth
muscle layers. Mucosa is epithelial; submucosa is connective tissue; serosa is the outer
covering.
Q7.
During a physiology simulation, a student applies a stimulus to a nerve-muscle
preparation and observes a contraction. Increasing the stimulus voltage beyond threshold
does not increase contraction strength. This phenomenon is best explained by:
