Question #1
Consider statements about human anatomy: 1. The heart pumps blood throughout the body. 2. The lungs exchange oxygen and carbon dioxide. 3. The kidneys produce urine. Which are correct?
A. 1 and 3 only
B. 2 and 3 only
C. 1 and 2 only
D. 1, 2 and 3

Correct Answer: Option D


Explanation:
The heart is a muscular pump that circulates blood through the cardiovascular system, delivering oxygen and nutrients to tissues and removing waste. The lungs are the primary organs of the respiratory system, where gas exchange occurs: oxygen diffuses from the alveoli into the blood, and carbon dioxide diffuses from the blood into the alveoli to be exhaled. The kidneys are the primary excretory organs, filtering blood to remove metabolic waste, excess water, and ions, producing urine. All statements are correct.

Question #3
Which of the following blood cells is responsible for the immune response by producing antibodies?
A. Monocytes
B. Lymphocytes (B cells)
C. Platelets
D. Erythrocytes

Correct Answer: Option B


Explanation:
B lymphocytes (B cells) differentiate into plasma cells that produce and secrete antibodies (immunoglobulins) specific to antigens, providing humoral immunity. T cells are involved in cell-mediated immunity. Erythrocytes carry oxygen, platelets clot blood, monocytes differentiate into macrophages that phagocytose pathogens. Lymphocytes are a type of white blood cell.
