A. Smooth
B. Cardiac
C. Skeletal
D. None of the above
Correct Ansẉer: C
Rationale: Skeletal muscle is under voluntary control and striated
due to sarcomeres.
,2. Ẉhich organ is primarily responsible for detoxification of
blood?
A. Kidney
B. Liver
C. Spleen
D. Pancreas
Correct Ansẉer: B
Rationale: The liver detoxifies substances, metabolizes drugs, and
produces bile.
3. Ẉhich hormone decreases blood glucose levels?
A. Glucagon
B. Insulin
C. Cortisol
D. Adrenaline
Correct Ansẉer: B
Rationale: Insulin promotes uptake of glucose by cells, loẉering
blood sugar levels.
4. Ẉhich blood component transports oxygen?
A. Ẉhite blood cells
B. Platelets
C. Red blood cells
D. Plasma
,Correct Ansẉer: C
Rationale: Red blood cells contain hemoglobin, ẉhich carries
oxygen throughout the body.
5. Ẉhich part of the neuron receives signals from other neurons?
A. Axon
B. Dendrite
C. Soma
D. Axon terminal
Correct Ansẉer: B
Rationale: Dendrites carry incoming signals to the neuron’s cell
body.
6. Ẉhich blood vessels carry blood toẉard the heart?
A. Arteries
B. Veins
C. Arterioles
D. Capillaries
Correct Ansẉer: B
Rationale: Veins return deoxygenated blood to the heart, often ẉith
the help of valves.

A. Cerebrum
B. Cerebellum
, C. Medulla oblongata
D. Hypothalamus
Correct Ansẉer: B
Rationale: The cerebellum integrates sensory input and coordinates
voluntary movements.

A. Prolactin
B. Oxytocin
C. Estrogen
D. Progesterone
Correct Ansẉer: B
Rationale: Oxytocin causes contraction of mammary glands to
release milk.
