Sample Skin, Connective Tissue and Ligaments MCQs with answers
Sample MCQ #1
Which of the following glands is not a modified sweat gland?
AMammary gland
BCeruminous gland
CGlands of Moll
DGlands of Zeis
Show Answer & Explanation ▾
✓ Correct Answer: D. Glands of Zeis
Explanation: The Glands of Zeis are modified sebaceous glands , not modified sweat glands, which distinguishes them from the other options listed. The other glands mentioned are classified as modified sweat glands: Mammary gland : Modified apocrine sweat gland responsible for milk production. (Option A) Ceruminous gland : Located in the external acoustic meatus, produces earwax (cerumen). (Option B) Glands of Moll : Found in the eyelid, these are modified sweat glands that secrete a substance to lubricate the eye. (Option C) Key Takeaways : Glands of Zeis are sebaceous glands , not sweat glands, distinguishing them from the other options. Understanding the classification of skin glands is crucial for recognizing their functions and locations in the body.
Sample MCQ #2
Glands are classified depending upon their mode of secretion. Sebaceous gland is an example of which of the following type of gland?
AEccrine
BApocrine
CHolocrine
DParacrine
Show Answer & Explanation ▾
✓ Correct Answer: C. Holocrine
Sebaceous glands are holocrine glands. Holocrine glands are those in which the cell after filling with secretory product dies and is expelled along with its content. Eccrine glands are those in which secretory product is expelled by exocytosis. Eg sweat glands involved in thermoregulation and receiving cholinergic sympathetic innervation. Apocrine glands are those in which the secretory product accumulates in the apical cytoplasm and is expelled out by pinching of the apical plasma membrane. Eg mammary gland and apocrine type of sweat glands that are active after puberty and are found in the skin of axilla and around genital organs.
