Free Circulation MCQs with Answers

695 Circulation MCQs from Biology, each with the correct answer and a written explanation of why it is correct. Free and unlimited, with no account needed.

The circulatory system covers the chambers, valves and conducting pathway of the human heart, along with the cardiac cycle and control of heartbeat. It compares arteries, veins and capillaries by structure and function, and explains how the lymphatic system returns tissue fluid, transports absorbed fats and supports immunity.

  • A. Tissue Grafting
  • B. Phagocytosis
  • C. Cell Mediated Immunity / Response
  • D. Hormonal Immunity / Response

Explanation: In cell-mediated immunity, antibodies are not involved, rather T-cells or macrophages recognize the antigen and destroy it.

Correct answer: Cell Mediated Immunity / Response
  • A. 4 months
  • B. 2 months
  • C. 5 months
  • D. 1 month

Explanation: The average lifespan of a Red Blood Cell lasts 110-120 days, when they are destroyed by macrophages.

Correct answer: 4 months
