Correct Answer: B

Rationale: A pivot joint, such as the one found in the neck, allows for rotational movement, enabling the head to turn from side to side. This type of joint provides a specific axis of rotation, allowing for a turning motion around that axis. Choice A, the hinge joint, primarily allows movement in one plane, like the elbow joint's flexion and extension. Choice C, the ball and socket joint, allows for a wide range of motion in multiple directions, but it is not primarily known for rotational movement. Choice D, the saddle joint, allows for movements like bending, straightening, and limited rotation, but it is not primarily designed for rotational movement like the pivot joint.

Correct Answer: B

Rationale: Glucagon is the hormone released in response to low blood glucose levels. When blood glucose levels drop, the pancreas secretes glucagon to stimulate the liver to break down glycogen into glucose, increasing blood sugar levels. This helps to restore the body's glucose balance. Insulin, on the other hand, is released in response to high blood glucose levels to lower blood sugar by promoting glucose uptake by cells. Cortisol is a stress hormone, and adrenaline is released in response to stress or danger, not specifically to regulate blood glucose levels.

Correct Answer: A

Rationale: The correct answer is the Adrenal gland. The adrenal glands are located on top of the kidneys. They produce hormones such as adrenaline and cortisol, which play essential roles in regulating metabolism, immune response, and stress in the body. The Thyroid gland, Pineal gland, and Pancreas are not located on top of the kidneys. The Thyroid gland is located in the neck, the Pineal gland in the brain, and the Pancreas behind the stomach.

Correct Answer: A

Rationale: The correct answer is 'Epithelial.' Epithelial tissue is characterized by cells that cover internal and external surfaces, such as the lining of the stomach. It lacks an extracellular matrix, has tall and thin cells, and does not contain blood vessels. The other choices are incorrect because connective tissue typically has an extracellular matrix, muscle tissue is composed of contractile cells, and cartilage is a type of connective tissue with a specific extracellular matrix and cell arrangement.

Correct Answer: B

Rationale: The urethra is the correct answer as it is a structure shared by both the male reproductive and urinary systems. It functions as a conduit for both urine from the bladder and semen from the reproductive system, making it a crucial component of both systems. The bladder (Choice A) is solely part of the urinary system, storing urine. The prostate (Choice C) and seminal vesicle (Choice D) are structures specific to the male reproductive system, involved in producing and secreting components of semen.
