Question 1 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.
Question 2 of 5
The muscle that separates the thoracic cavity from the abdominal cavity is
Correct Answer: B
Rationale: The diaphragm is the primary muscle dividing thoracic and abdominal cavities, aiding respiration. 'Diaphragm,' is correct, per anatomy (e.g., Moore). 'Intercostal,' assists breathing between ribs. 'Rectus abdominis,' is abdominal. 'Pectoralis major,' is chest. Diaphragm's septal role makes B the accurate answer.

'Endotoxin,' is LPS from gram-negative bacteria. 'Exotoxin,' is secreted protein. 'Neurotoxin,' targets nerves. Hemolysin's specificity makes D the precise answer.
