Consider statements about human brain: 1. The cerebrum controls voluntary actions. 2. The cerebellum maintains balance. 3. The medulla controls breathing. Which are correct?
A. 1 and 2 only
B. 2 and 3 only
C. 1 and 3 only
D. 1, 2 and 3
Answer: Option D
Solution (By JKSSB Mock Tests)
The cerebrum is the largest part of the brain, responsible for higher functions like voluntary motor actions, sensory processing, and intelligence. The cerebellum coordinates muscle movements and maintains posture and balance. The medulla oblongata contains vital centers controlling involuntary functions like heartbeat, breathing, and blood pressure. All three statements are correct.

Immunoglobulin G (IgG) is the most abundant antibody in human blood plasma, constituting about 75-80% of all antibodies. It is the only antibody that can cross the placenta, providing passive immunity to the fetus. IgG is crucial for long-term immunity, neutralizing toxins, viruses, and bacteria, and activating the complement system.

A. The loop of Henle helps in concentrating urine.
B. The functional unit of the kidney is the neuron.
C. The urethra connects the kidney to the bladder.
D. Urine is formed in the urinary bladder.

Correct Answer: Option A


Explanation:
The loop of Henle creates a concentration gradient in the medulla, enabling water reabsorption and concentrated urine. Urine is formed in kidneys, the unit is nephron, ureter connects kidney to bladder.

Question #3
During inspiration, the diaphragm:
A. Remains unchanged
B. Relaxes and becomes dome-shaped
C. Contracts and flattens
D. Moves laterally

Correct Answer: Option C


Explanation:
Inspiration (inhalation) occurs when the intra-pulmonary pressure is less than the atmospheric pressure. This is achieved by the contraction of the diaphragm, which flattens and moves downwards, and the contraction of external intercostal muscles, which lift the ribs and sternum. This increases the thoracic volume and lung capacity, drawing air in. Expiration involves relaxation of these muscles.
