Question #2
Which of the following is a primary lymphoid organ?
A. Spleen
B. Bone marrow
C. Tonsils
D. Lymph node

Correct Answer: Option B


Explanation:
Primary lymphoid organs are where lymphocytes are produced and mature. Bone marrow (where B cells mature) and thymus (where T cells mature) are primary. Secondary lymphoid organs, like spleen, lymph nodes, and tonsils, are where mature lymphocytes encounter antigens and initiate immune responses. The bone marrow also is the site of hematopoiesis.

Question #3
Which part of the human kidney filters blood under high pressure?
A. Renal pelvis
B. Loop of Henle
C. Glomerulus
D. Collecting duct

Correct Answer: Option C


Explanation:
The glomerulus is a tuft of capillaries enclosed by the Bowman's capsule, where ultrafiltration occurs due to high hydrostatic pressure in the afferent arteriole. It filters water, ions, glucose, amino acids, urea into Bowman's space. Proteins and cells are retained. Filtration is passive. The filtrate then passes through the tubules for processing. GFR is regulated by JGA.
