Select the correct statement about the ureters.
The ureter is innervated by parasympathetic nerve endings only.
Ureters contain sphincters at the entrance to the bladder to prevent the backflow of urine.
The epithelium is stratified squamous like the skin, which allows a great deal of stretch.
The ureters are capable of peristalsis like that of the gastrointestinal tract.
The Correct Answer is D
A. The ureter is innervated by parasympathetic nerve endings only: The ureters are innervated by both sympathetic and parasympathetic fibers.
B. Ureters contain sphincters at the entrance to the bladder to prevent the backflow of urine: There are no anatomical sphincters; backflow is prevented by the angle of ureter entry into the bladder wall and valve-like flaps.
C. The epithelium is stratified squamous like the skin, which allows a great deal of stretch: The ureters are lined with transitional epithelium, which allows stretching, not stratified squamous.
D. The ureters are capable of peristalsis like that of the gastrointestinal tract: Ureters have smooth muscle that contracts rhythmically to move urine via peristalsis from the kidneys to the bladder.

Correct Answer is B
Explanation
A. Terminal sulcus: This is a V-shaped groove on the tongue that marks the division between the anterior and posterior tongue-not related to tongue mobility.
B. Lingual frenulum: This is a fold of mucous membrane under the tongue that may be too short or tight in some children (ankyloglossia or “tongue-tie”), limiting movement. Surgery may involve cutting this to free the tongue.
C. Uvula: The uvula is part of the soft palate and plays a role in speech and swallowing, not tongue movement.
D. Palatine tonsils: These are lymphatic tissues in the oropharynx and have no role in tongue movement.
Correct Answer is D
Explanation
A. Cement, root canal, enamel: Cement covers the root, not the outermost crown, and enamel is actually the most superficial layer of the crown, not root canal.
B. Enamel, root canal, dentin: Dentin lies between enamel and the pulp/root canal, so this order is incorrect.
C. Dentin, enamel, cement: Enamel is above dentin; cement is part of the root, not the crown.
D. Enamel, dentin, pulp: Enamel is the outermost protective layer, dentin is beneath it, and pulp is the innermost part containing nerves and blood vessels.
E. Crown, enamel, dentin: The crown is a region, not a tissue. The question asked for tissue layers, not anatomical regions.
