C Correct answer
Explanation

The skin is the largest organ in the human body, covering approximately 20 square feet in adults and accounting for about 16% of total body weight. It serves as a protective barrier, regulates temperature, and provides sensory input, making it both the largest and heaviest organ.

B Correct answer
Explanation

The Medulla Oblongata is a vital part of the human brain, specifically located in the brainstem. It controls critical autonomic functions including breathing, heart rate, and blood pressure. The medulla oblongata connects the brain to the spinal cord and regulates essential life-sustaining processes. It is definitely not part of the heart, liver, or lungs - though it controls functions related to these organs through neural connections.

Reveal answer Fill a bubble to check yourself
C Correct answer
Explanation

The heart is centrally located in the chest cavity (mediastinum), with the two lungs positioned on either side. The left lung is slightly smaller to accommodate the heart's position. This separation allows the heart to pump blood efficiently to both lungs for oxygenation before circulation to the rest of the body.

B Correct answer
Explanation

Dogs have very limited sweat glands - primarily located in their paw pads - which are insufficient for thermoregulation. Instead, dogs primarily cool themselves through panting, where moisture evaporates from their tongue and the lining of their lungs. This is why the tongue is the correct answer, not the skin.

  4. medulla oblangata

Reveal answer Fill a bubble to check yourself
C Correct answer
Explanation

The Eustachian tube connects the middle ear to the nasopharynx (back of the throat and nasal cavity). This tube helps equalize air pressure on both sides of the eardrum and allows drainage of middle ear secretions. It is crucial for maintaining proper ear function and hearing, especially during altitude changes.
