Where is chyme produced,?

A.

Pancreas

B.

Stomach

C.

Small Intestine

D.

Large Intestine

Answer and Explanation

The Correct Answer is B

A. Pancreas: pancreas secretes enzymes such as amylase (for carbohydrate digestion), lipase (for fat digestion), and proteases (such as trypsin and chymotrypsin for protein digestion). These enzymes are secreted into the small intestine to aid in the digestion of chyme.

B. Stomach: Chyme is a semi-fluid mixture of partially digested food and digestive juices formed in the stomach. The stomach’s muscular contractions mix food with gastric secretions, resulting in this thick paste that is then gradually released into the small intestine for further digestion.

C. Small Intestine: While the small intestine further processes chyme through digestion and absorption, it does not produce it.

D. Large Intestine: The large intestine primarily absorbs water and electrolytes from indigestible food matter and forms waste, but it does not produce chyme.

Correct Answer is C

Explanation

A. Red blood cells are removed from the blood: Red blood cells are too large to be filtered at the glomerulus. Only plasma and small molecules pass through.

B. Water is taken out of the pre-formed urine: This happens in later parts of the nephron, such as the collecting ducts, not at the glomerulus.

C. Most of the water is removed from the blood: The glomerulus filters blood, removing water, ions, glucose, and waste products from the bloodstream to form the filtrate.

D. Nutrients are released to the kidneys: Nutrients are filtered into the renal tubules and then reabsorbed, but they are not "released" to the kidneys.

Correct Answer is D

Explanation

A. Eosinophil: Eosinophils are involved in allergic reactions and parasitic infections, but they are not responsible for B and T cell functions.

B. Basophil: Basophils are involved in inflammatory responses, particularly releasing histamine, but do not include B or T cells.

C. Monocyte: Monocytes are large white blood cells that develop into macrophages but do not include B or T cells.

D. Lymphocyte: Lymphocytes are a subtype of white blood cells that include B cells (which produce antibodies) and T cells (which are involved in cell-mediated immunity), making this the correct answer.
