    What gas do cells release as a waste product?

    • Oxygen

    • Carbon dioxide

    • Hydrogen

    • Nitrogen

    Correct Answer
    A. Carbon dioxide
    Explanation
    Cells release carbon dioxide as a waste product. During cellular respiration, cells break down glucose to produce energy. As a result of this process, carbon dioxide is produced as a waste product and is released into the surrounding environment. This waste gas is then transported to the lungs, where it is exhaled out of the body. Oxygen, on the other hand, is taken in by cells during respiration to facilitate the production of energy. Hydrogen and nitrogen are not waste products released by cells.

    What do the kidneys remove from the blood?

    • Csf

    • Plasma

    • Urea, uric acid

    • Lymph

    Correct Answer
    A. Urea, uric acid
    Explanation
    The kidneys are responsible for removing waste products from the blood, including urea and uric acid. Urea is a byproduct of protein metabolism, while uric acid is a waste product of purine metabolism. Both substances are filtered out of the blood by the kidneys and excreted in the urine. This helps to maintain the balance of these waste products in the body and prevent their buildup, which can be harmful.

    What does the endocrine system consist of?

    • Vessals

    • Lymph

    • Organs

    • Glands

    Correct Answer
    A. Glands
    Explanation
    The endocrine system consists of glands. Glands are specialized organs that produce and release hormones into the bloodstream. These hormones act as chemical messengers and regulate various bodily functions and processes. Unlike exocrine glands that release substances through ducts, endocrine glands secrete hormones directly into the bloodstream, allowing them to reach target cells and tissues throughout the body. Therefore, glands are the correct answer as they are the main components of the endocrine system.

    Which are voluntary muscles?

    • Smooth

    • Cardiac

    • Skeletal

    • Spinal

    Correct Answer
    A. Skeletal
    Explanation
    Skeletal muscles are voluntary muscles because they are under conscious control. We can choose to contract or relax these muscles to perform specific movements. Smooth muscles, on the other hand, are involuntary muscles found in organs like the stomach and intestines. Cardiac muscles are also involuntary and are responsible for the contraction of the heart. Spinal muscles are not a recognized category of muscles, so the correct answer is skeletal.

    Correct Answer
    A. Abdominal cavity
    Explanation
    The abdominal cavity contains the most lymph nodes in the body. Lymph nodes are small, bean-shaped structures that are part of the lymphatic system, which helps in filtering out harmful substances and fighting infections. The abdominal cavity houses various organs such as the liver, spleen, and intestines, which require a high concentration of lymph nodes for effective immune response. These lymph nodes help in filtering lymph fluid and removing any harmful substances or pathogens before they can enter the bloodstream. Therefore, the abdominal cavity is the correct answer as it contains the largest number of lymph nodes.
