Question 1 of 5

The approximate gestation period in human is

Correct Answer: B

Rationale: Human gestation averages 280 days (40 weeks) from the last menstrual period (LMP). '280 days,' is correct, per obstetrics texts like Williams Obstetrics, a standard clinical estimate. '250 days,' is about 36 weeks, preterm. '300 days,' (43 weeks) and '320 days,' (46 weeks) exceed typical full-term. The 280-day norm, aligning with fetal development, makes B the precise answer, widely accepted in medical practice.

Question 2 of 5

The following are accessory organs of digestion EXCEPT

Correct Answer: D

Rationale: Accessory digestive organs aid digestion outside the alimentary canal. 'Kidney,' is correct as the exception, filtering blood, not digesting, per physiology (e.g., Guyton). 'Liver,' produces bile. 'Pancreas,' secretes enzymes. 'Gall bladder,' stores bile. Kidney's excretory role distinguishes D as the accurate answer.

'Cranial nerves,' and 'Spinal nerves,' are PNS. 'Autonomic nervous system,' is PNS's involuntary arm. Spinal cord's CNS role makes C the accurate answer.
