The hypothalamus in the brain is responsible for regulating body
temperature, among other homeostatic functions. It adjusts the body's
temperature by initiating responses like sweating or shivering based on
the body's thermal needs.


5. Question:
Which of the following is a major function of the large intestine?
A) Absorption of nutrients
B) Absorption of water and electrolytes
C) Protein synthesis
D) Storage of bile
Answer:
B) Absorption of water and electrolytes
Rationale:
The large intestine primarily functions to absorb water, electrolytes, and
certain vitamins. It also compacts waste products into feces for
elimination. Nutrient absorption occurs in the small intestine, not the
large intestine.

Which part of the brain is responsible for balance and coordination?
A) Cerebrum
B) Medulla oblongata


3

, C) Cerebellum

control and ensures smooth and coordinated body movements.


7. Question:

arteries?
A) Transport oxygenated blood to the heart
B) Transport deoxygenated blood to the lungs
C) Supply oxygenated blood to the myocardium
D) Pump blood to the rest of the body
Answer:
C) Supply oxygenated blood to the myocardium
