The fluid that circulates in the lymphatic system is called: MCQ with Answer and Explanation

Explanation:
The pancreas functions as an exocrine gland (secreting digestive enzymes into the duodenum via the pancreatic duct) and an endocrine gland (secreting insulin, glucagon, somatostatin from the islets of Langerhans into the blood). Thyroid, pituitary, and adrenals are purely endocrine.

Explanation:
Kwashiorkor is a severe form of malnutrition in children caused by a significant deficiency of protein in the diet, despite potentially adequate calorie intake. It is characterized by edema (swelling, especially in the belly due to low albumin), an enlarged liver, thinning hair, and a 'flaky paint' skin rash. Marasmus is caused by overall protein-calorie deficiency.

Explanation:
Pancreatic Polypeptide (PP) is a hormone secreted by the F cells (also known as gamma cells), which are scattered throughout the islets of Langerhans in the pancreas, primarily in the head of the pancreas. Its secretion is stimulated by the ingestion of a meal, particularly one rich in protein. Its primary functions are inhibitory: it inhibits the secretion of pancreatic digestive enzymes, inhibits gall bladder contraction, and slows down gastric emptying. It is thought to regulate the rate of nutrient absorption and prevent over-digestion.
