MODULE 2 COMPREHENSIVE EXAM REVIEW REGENERATED
WITH DETAILED QUESTIONS, MULTIPLE CHOICES,
HIGHLIGHTED ANSWERS, AND RATIONALES
Topic 1: Organ Systems & Body Organization
1. Which of the following organs is NOT part of the respiratory system?
A) Larynx
B) Diaphragm
C) <mark>Kidneys</mark>
D) Bronchi
E) Lungs
<mark>Correct Answer: C) Kidneys</mark>
Rationale: The kidneys belong to the urinary system, which is responsible for filtration and
waste excretion. The respiratory system consists of organs involved in gas exchange, including
the larynx, trachea, bronchi, lungs, and diaphragm (the primary muscle of respiration).
2. Which of the following correctly matches the organ system with its primary function?
A) <mark>Digestive system → Breaks down food and absorbs nutrients</mark>
B) Endocrine system → Produces blood cells
C) Skeletal system → Regulates body temperature
D) Nervous system → Produces hormones
E) Integumentary system → Filters blood and produces urine
<mark>Correct Answer: A) Digestive system → Breaks down food and absorbs
nutrients</mark>
Rationale: The digestive system's primary functions include ingestion, digestion, absorption, and
defecation. Other options incorrectly assign functions: endocrine system regulates via hormones
(not blood cell production), skeletal system provides support and mineral storage, nervous
, ESTUDYR
system controls via electrical signals, and integumentary system protects and regulates
temperature.
3. Inflammation of the membrane surrounding the heart is called:
A) Myocarditis
B) Endocarditis
C) <mark>Pericarditis</mark>
D) Pleuritis
E) Meningitis
<mark>Correct Answer: C) Pericarditis</mark>
Rationale: The pericardium is the double-walled sac that surrounds the heart. Inflammation of
this membrane is pericarditis. Myocarditis affects the heart muscle, endocarditis affects the
inner lining, pleuritis affects the pleural membranes of the lungs, and meningitis affects the
meninges of the brain.
4. Which organ system is primarily responsible for producing gametes and supporting fetal
development?
A) Urinary system
B) Endocrine system
C) <mark>Reproductive system</mark>
D) Integumentary system
E) Lymphatic system
<mark>Correct Answer: C) Reproductive system</mark>
Rationale: The reproductive system has the dual function of producing gametes (sperm or eggs)
and, in females, supporting the development of offspring through pregnancy. The other systems
have different primary functions: urinary (filtration), endocrine (hormonal regulation),
integumentary (protection), and lymphatic (immunity and fluid balance).
