    Explanation
    The kidneys are responsible for filtering waste from the blood and producing urine. They play a crucial role in maintaining the body's fluid balance and removing harmful substances from the bloodstream. The kidneys filter out waste products, excess water, and electrolytes, while also reabsorbing essential nutrients and regulating blood pressure. The urine produced by the kidneys is then transported to the bladder through the ureters and eventually eliminated from the body through the urethra.

    Which of the following joint areas would allow circumduction?

    • Elbow.

    • Knee.

    • Shoulder.

    • Ankle.

    Correct Answer
    A. Shoulder.
    Explanation
    Circumduction is a movement that involves the circular motion of a body part, such as a limb, around a central point. The shoulder joint is a ball-and-socket joint that allows for a wide range of movements, including circumduction. This joint is formed by the head of the humerus (upper arm bone) and the glenoid cavity of the scapula (shoulder blade). The rounded head of the humerus fits into the shallow socket of the scapula, allowing for the shoulder to move in multiple directions, including circumduction. The elbow, knee, and ankle joints are hinge joints that primarily allow flexion and extension movements, limiting their ability to perform circumduction.

    Which is not a structure of the Lymphoid Tissue?

    • Bones

    • Bone Marrow 

    • White blood cells

    • Lymph Nodes

    Correct Answer
    A. Bones
    Explanation
    The lymphoid tissue is a part of the immune system and is responsible for producing and storing white blood cells, such as lymphocytes. It is primarily found in organs such as the spleen, thymus, and lymph nodes. Bone marrow is also considered a lymphoid tissue as it produces lymphocytes. However, bones themselves are not considered a structure of the lymphoid tissue.

    Which is NOT a hormone secreted by the Adrenal gland?

    • Melatonin

    • Epinephrine

    • Cortisol

    • Norepinephrine

    Correct Answer
    A. Melatonin
    Explanation
    Melatonin is not a hormone secreted by the Adrenal gland. Melatonin is actually a hormone secreted by the pineal gland, which is located in the brain. It plays a key role in regulating sleep-wake cycles and is responsible for maintaining the body's internal clock. The Adrenal gland, on the other hand, secretes hormones such as Epinephrine, Cortisol, and Norepinephrine, which are involved in the body's response to stress, metabolism, and blood pressure regulation.

    How many cells thick are Capillaries

    • 1

    • 10

    • 100

    • 10000000

    Correct Answer
    A. 1
    Explanation
    Capillaries are the smallest blood vessels in the body, with a diameter just wide enough for a single red blood cell to pass through. They are one cell thick, allowing for the exchange of oxygen, nutrients, and waste products between the blood and surrounding tissues. This thinness is essential for efficient diffusion and transport across the capillary walls. Therefore, the correct answer is 1.

    Which of the following is NOT a classification of bone?

    • Irregular Bone.

    • Flat Bone.

    • Sesamoid Bone.

    • Cancellous Bone

    Correct Answer
    A. Cancellous Bone
    Explanation
    Cancellous bone is not a classification of bone because it refers to a type of bone tissue rather than a specific classification. Cancellous bone, also known as spongy or trabecular bone, is found inside the outer layer of compact bone and is characterized by its porous and honeycomb-like structure. It is responsible for providing structural support and strength to bones, but it is not a distinct classification like irregular, flat, or sesamoid bones.
