  • A. Lipase
  • B. Trypsin
  • C. Pepsin
  • D. Amylase

Explanation: Pancreatic juice contains Lipase, Trypsin, and Amylase. Thus it does not contain Pepsin and Option C is the correct answer.

Correct answer: Pepsin
  • A. Protein digestion
  • B. HCl secretion
  • C. Protein absorption
  • D. HCl inhibition

Explanation: Parietal cells are responsible for HCl secretion, which aids in the digestion of food, absorption of minerals, and control of harmful…

Correct answer: HCl secretion
  • A. Absorption of electrolytes.
  • B. Absorption of water
  • C. Production of vitamins
  • D. Absorption of amino acids

Explanation: Absorption of nutrients occurs in the small intestine. The nutrients are absorbed through the villi of the small intestine.

Correct answer: Absorption of amino acids
  • A. Trachea
  • B. Pharynx
  • C. Larynx
  • D. Oesophagus

Explanation: The pharynx is part of two body systems (the respiratory system and the digestive system) because it carries both air and food.

Correct answer: Pharynx
  • A. Pepsin
  • B. Sucrose
  • C. Enterokinase
  • D. Pancreatic lipase

Explanation: The function of the pancreatic juice is to digest and break down large sugars, fats, and starches into smaller assimilable molecules.

Correct answer: Pancreatic lipase
  • A. Amylase
  • B. Erypsin
  • C. Lactase
  • D. Carboxypeptidase

Explanation: Amylase is produced mostly in the pancreas, but also in the salivary glands and small intestine.

Correct answer: Amylase
  • A. Oxyntic cells
  • B. Chief cells
  • C. Mucus cells
  • D. Endocrine cells

Explanation: Gastric chief cells secrete pepsin as an inactive zymogen called pepsinogen.

Correct answer: Chief cells
  • A. Proteolytic enzyme action
  • B. Dissolving in mucus
  • C. Hormonal action
  • D. Hydrochloric acid

Explanation: Pepsinogen is converted into pepsin by hydrochloric acid.

Correct answer: Hydrochloric acid
  • A. Proteins
  • B. Fats
  • C. Carbohydrates
  • D. Vitamins

Explanation: Digestion of carbohydrates begins in the oral cavity with the action of salivary amylase.

Correct answer: Carbohydrates
  • A. Trypsin
  • B. Pepsin
  • C. Protease
  • D. All of these

Explanation: The enzymes mentioned above, are the enzymes that break down protein into simpler forms.

Correct answer: All of these
  • A. Oxygenated
  • B. Deoxygenated
  • C. Oxygenated and Deoxygenated
  • D. None

Explanation: The left side pumps oxygenated blood (high in oxygen and low in carbon dioxide) to the organs of the body.

Correct answer: Deoxygenated
  • A. Aorta
  • B. Pulmonary veins
  • C. Pulmonary artery
  • D. Dorsal aorta

Explanation: The pulmonary artery leaves the right ventricle and takes blood to the lungs.

Correct answer: Pulmonary artery
  • A. Left ventricle
  • B. Right ventricle
  • C. Left atrium
  • D. Right atrium

Explanation: The aorta is the largest vessel within the human body. It originates from the left ventricle of the heart anterior to the pulmonary artery…

Correct answer: Left ventricle
  • A. Left atrium
  • B. Left ventricle
  • C. Right ventricle
  • D. Right atrium

Explanation: The left ventricle is the heart chamber that pumps oxygenated blood into the aorta, which then carries it to the rest of the body.

Correct answer: Left ventricle
  • A. Reticulocytes
  • B. Erythrocyte
  • C. Basiophilic erythroblasts
  • D. None of these

Explanation: Option A: Reticulocytes are immature red blood cells that still contain remnants of ribosomes and RNA.

Correct answer: Erythrocyte
  • A. 1
  • B. 2
  • C. 3
  • D. 4
  • E. They are not produced in complete process of oogenesis
