CHEEK CELL EPITHELIUM

Arrange the following steps in correct sequence–

(i) Putting a drop of glycerine on the cheek cells on a slide,

(ii) Scrapping the inner side of cheek,

(iii) Adding methylene blue stain, and

(iv) Placing the cover slip over the material.

• i, ii, iii, iv;

• ii, i, iv, iii

• iv, ii, iii, i;

• ii, iii, i, iv

Cheek epithelial cells are an example of

• squamous epithelial cells

• cuboidal epithelial cells

• columnar epithelial cells

• ciliated epithelial cells

Which of the following are the identifying features of human cheek cells

• Large vacuoles appear in each cell

• Cells are irregular, flat with cytoplasm

• Cells are large enough lying side by side with cell walls

• Cells are irregular, flat with central nucleus and cytoplasm

Name two structures which you would see in cheek cells if you were using a very high magnifying power of microscope?

• Cell membrane and cytoplasm

• Cytoplasm and cell wall

• Nucleus and cytoplasm

• nucleus and cell wall

You are viewing a prepared slide of temporary mount of cells under high magnification microscope. You would observe

• More number of cells, large size

• Less number of cells, large size

• Less number of cells, small size

• More number of cells, large cells
