Question #1
In the human brain, the 'limbic system' is primarily associated with:
A. Regulation of heart rate and breathing
B. Coordination of voluntary motor movements
C. Processing of visual and auditory information
D. Regulation of emotions, memory, and motivation

Correct Answer: Option D


Explanation:
The limbic system is a complex set of structures in the medial temporal lobe, including the hippocampus, amygdala, and hypothalamus. It is often called the 'emotional brain' and is primarily responsible for processing emotions (fear, anger, pleasure), forming and retrieving memories, and regulating motivation and homeostatic drives (hunger, thirst). The medulla regulates heart rate, the cerebellum coordinates movement, and the occipital/temporal lobes process sensory information.

The organ that is a part of both the digestive and endocrine systems is the:
A. Liver
B. Pancreas
C. Spleen
D. Gall bladder

Correct Answer: Option B


Explanation:
The pancreas acts as an exocrine gland (secreting digestive enzymes into the duodenum) and an endocrine gland (secreting insulin and glucagon into blood). The liver has metabolic but not major endocrine function, spleen is lymphoid, gall bladder stores bile.

Question #3
The organ of the human body that stores glycogen as a reserve carbohydrate is:
A. Liver
B. Pancreas
C. Spleen
D. Kidney

Correct Answer: Option A


Explanation:
The liver is the primary site of glycogen storage and releases glucose into the blood between meals (glycogenolysis) to maintain blood sugar. Muscles also store glycogen but for local use. The pancreas regulates blood sugar via insulin/glucagon, spleen stores blood and recycles iron, kidneys excrete waste.
