  5. Plasma

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

Cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) is a clear colourless body fluid produced in the choroid plexus of the brain. It acts as a cushion or buffer for the cortex providing a basic mechanical and immunological protection to the brain inside the skull and serves a vital function in cerebral autoregulation of cerebral blood flow.

Multiple choice
  1. Glottis

  2. Epiglottis

  3. Larynx

  4. Pharynx

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

The epiglottis is a flap-like structure located at the entrance of the larynx (wind pipe). When you swallow, it closes over the larynx to prevent food or liquid from entering the respiratory tract. The glottis is the vocal cord opening, larynx is the voice box, and pharynx is the shared passage for both air and food - none of these prevent entry.

Multiple choice

  3. Intestine

  4. Nerves

  5. Skin

D Correct answer
Explanation

Nerves are the part of nervous system. Nerves act like electric wires in the human body as they spread all over the body and send messages to brain. If we touch a hot cup, the nerves in the skin send message to the brain and then brain orders the hand to withdraw itself from the cup.
