Question #1
Consider statements about human anatomy: 1. The heart has four chambers. 2. The lungs are the primary organs of respiration. 3. The brain is protected by the skull. Which are correct?
A. 2 and 3 only
B. 1 and 2 only
C. 1 and 3 only
D. 1, 2 and 3

Correct Answer: Option D


Explanation:
The human heart is a four-chambered muscular organ consisting of two upper atria (receiving chambers) and two lower ventricles (discharging chambers), ensuring complete separation of oxygenated and deoxygenated blood. The lungs are a pair of spongy, air-filled organs located on either side of the chest, serving as the primary site for gas exchange (respiration). The brain, the control center of the nervous system, is encased and protected by the bony cranium (skull). All statements are correct.

Question #3
Which chamber of the human heart has the thickest muscular wall?
A. Left atrium
B. Right ventricle
C. Right atrium
D. Left ventricle

Correct Answer: Option D


Explanation:
The left ventricle has the thickest and most muscular wall of all the heart chambers. This is because it must pump oxygenated blood with high pressure through the aorta to supply the entire systemic circulation of the body. The right ventricle only pumps blood to the lungs, which requires much less pressure.
