The type of epithelial tissue that lines the urinary bladder and allows stretching is: MCQ with Answer and Explanation

The type of epithelial tissue that lines the urinary bladder and allows stretching is:
A. Stratified squamous
B. Simple squamous
C. Columnar epithelium
D. Transitional epithelium
Answer: Option D
Solution (By JKExamLibrary)
Transitional epithelium (urothelium) is stratified, with cells that can change shape from cuboidal to squamous when the bladder distends. It lines the renal pelvis, ureters, bladder, and part of the urethra. Squamous is flat, cuboidal cube-shaped, columnar tall.

Question #3
Consider statements about human immunity: 1. B-lymphocytes produce antibodies. 2. T-lymphocytes are involved in cell-mediated immunity. 3. Vaccines cure active viral infections. Which are correct?
A. 1 and 2 only
B. 1, 2 and 3
C. 1 and 3 only
D. 2 and 3 only

Correct Answer: Option A


Explanation:
B-lymphocytes (B cells) differentiate into plasma cells that secrete antibodies, providing humoral immunity. T-lymphocytes (T cells) are responsible for cell-mediated immunity, directly attacking infected or cancerous cells. Vaccines are prophylactic; they stimulate the immune system to develop memory and prevent future infections, but they do not cure active, ongoing viral infections. Thus, statements 1 and 2 are correct.
