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. Aortic semilunar valve
C. Bicuspid (mitral) valve
D. Pulmonary 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.

Question #1
The hormone that stimulates the Leydig cells to produce testosterone is:
A. Inhibin
B. GnRH
C. LH
D. FSH

Correct Answer: Option C


Explanation:
Luteinizing hormone (LH) binds to Leydig cells in the testes, stimulating them to produce and secrete testosterone. FSH stimulates Sertoli cells for spermatogenesis. GnRH from hypothalamus stimulates release of LH and FSH.

Question #3
The phase of the cardiac cycle when the ventricles relax and fill with blood is called:
A. Diastole
B. Ejection phase
C. Atrial contraction
D. Systole

Correct Answer: Option A


Explanation:
Diastole is the relaxation phase of the cardiac cycle, during which the ventricles fill with blood from the atria. Systole is the contraction phase, pumping blood out. Atrial contraction (atrial systole) contributes to ventricular filling. Ejection phase is part of ventricular systole when blood is ejected. Normal diastolic and systolic pressures are 80 and 120 mmHg respectively.
