Explanation

In mammals, the lower jaw is made of the mandible. The mandible is the largest and strongest bone of the face, and it holds the lower teeth in place.

Acetabulum is part of (C.E.T. chd. 2000)

You've reached today's free limit of 20 questions. Log in to keep practising for free.
Explanation

The acetabulum is a concave surface of the pelvis (part of the pelvic girdle) where the head of the femur fits to form the hip joint. It is a crucial part of the pelvic anatomy because it allows for the movement and support of the leg.

The function unit of contractile system of a striated muscle is (C.M.E.E.-2004)

You've reached today's free limit of 20 questions. Log in to keep practising for free.
Explanation

The functional unit of a contractile system in striated muscle is the sarcomere. A sarcomere is the segment between two neighboring Z-lines (or Z-discs) and is the smallest functional unit of muscle fiber responsible for muscle contraction. It contains actin and myosin filaments whose interaction leads to muscle contraction.

Fibrous joints are present between ( M.P.P.M.T. -2000)

You've reached today's free limit of 20 questions. Log in to keep practising for free.
Explanation

Fibrous joints are present between the bones of the skull. These joints, also known as sutures, are immovable and are connected by dense connective tissue. They play a crucial role in protecting the brain by providing a rigid structure.

During & vigorous exercise, glucose is converted into (C.P.M.T.- 2000)(a)

You've reached today's free limit of 20 questions. Log in to keep practising for free.
Explanation

During vigorous exercise, the body's demand for energy increases significantly. When oxygen levels are insufficient for aerobic respiration, the body switches to anaerobic respiration. In this process, glucose is converted into lactic acid to produce energy quickly. This is why muscles may feel sore after intense exercise due to lactic acid buildup.

Synovial fluid is present in (Har. P.M.T. - 2000)

You've reached today's free limit of 20 questions. Log in to keep practising for free.
Explanation

Synovial fluid is a viscous fluid found in the cavities of synovial joints, which are also known as freely movable joints. This fluid acts as a lubricant, reducing friction between the articular cartilages of synovial joints during movement, thereby facilitating smooth and painless joint motion.

Iliac of pelvic girdle is articulated with sacrum for (B.V.-2001)

Red muscle is rich in (J.I.P.M.E.R.-2002)

You've reached today's free limit of 20 questions. Log in to keep practising for free.
Explanation

Red muscles, also known as slow-twitch muscles, are rich in mitochondria. Mitochondria are the powerhouse of the cell and provide the energy required for continuous and extended muscle contractions. This is why red muscles have high endurance but generate less force compared to white muscles.

Joint between atlas and axis is (A.F.M.C. - 2003)

You've reached today's free limit of 20 questions. Log in to keep practising for free.
Explanation

The joint between the atlas (the first cervical vertebra) and the axis (the second cervical vertebra) is a pivot joint. This type of joint allows for rotational movement, which is why we can turn our heads from side to side.

The longest bone amongst the following is (B.V - 2003)

You've reached today's free limit of 20 questions. Log in to keep practising for free.
Explanation

The femur, or thigh bone, is the longest bone in the human body. It extends from the hip to the knee and plays a crucial role in supporting the weight of the body and allowing for leg movement.
