The valve between the left atrium and left ventricle is the: MCQ with Answer and Explanation

The valve between the left atrium and left ventricle is the:
A. Tricuspid valve
B. Pulmonary semilunar valve
C. Bicuspid (mitral) valve
D. Aortic semilunar valve
Answer: Option C
Solution (By JKSSB Mock Tests)
The bicuspid valve (mitral valve) has two cusps and is located between the left atrium and left ventricle, preventing backflow during ventricular systole. The tricuspid valve is on the right side. Semilunar valves are at the exits of the aorta and pulmonary artery. Mitral valve prolapse is a common condition.

A. ATP
B. Glucose
C. FADH₂
D. NADH

Question #2
The gap between the axon terminal of one neuron and the dendrite of another neuron is called the:
A. Axolemma
B. Synaptic cleft
C. Myelin sheath
D. Node of Ranvier

Correct Answer: Option B


Explanation:
A synapse is the junction where a nerve impulse is transmitted from one neuron to another. The synaptic cleft is the microscopic, fluid-filled gap between the presynaptic neuron (axon terminal) and the postsynaptic neuron (dendrite or cell body). Neurotransmitters are released into this cleft to carry the signal across to the next cell.

Question #3
The organ that produces digestive enzymes and insulin is the:
A. Liver
B. Gall bladder
C. Spleen
D. Pancreas

Correct Answer: Option D


Explanation:
The pancreas is a mixed gland: exocrine acini secrete digestive enzymes (trypsin, lipase, amylase) into the duodenum, while endocrine islets secrete insulin and glucagon into the blood. The liver produces bile, not digestive enzymes. Spleen filters blood, gall bladder stores bile.
