Human Digestive System
1,953 Questions
The human digestive system explores the breakdown of biomacromolecules, covering organs from the stomach to the small intestine. It involves physiological processes like chyme movement, pH levels, and nutrient absorption in the gut. These fundamental biology concepts are regularly featured in medical and general science competitive exams.

-
Carbohydrates
-
Proteins
-
Fats
-
Fibre
D
Correct answer
Explanation
Fibre (or dietary fiber) is essential for maintaining regular bowel movements and overall digestive health.
-
Circulatory system
-
Respiratory system
-
Nervous system
-
Immune system
D
Correct answer
Explanation
The immune system is responsible for controlling infections. When it is compromised or functioning improperly, a minor infection can escalate into a severe condition like bloody diarrhea.

-
Heamaturia
-
Hypovolemia
-
Hyper apnea
-
Melena
D
Correct answer
Explanation
Melena is the passage of tarry black stools due to upper gastrointestinal bleeding, where blood is digested and darkened. Hematuria is blood in urine. Hypovolemia is low blood volume. Hyper apnea is not a standard medical term; likely meant hyperapnea (excessive breathing).
-
chyle
-
chyme
-
bolus
-
none of these
B
Correct answer
Explanation
Chyme is the semifluid mass of partly digested food and digestive secretions that is formed in the stomach and intestine during digestion.
-
liver
-
lung
-
kidney
-
stomach
A
Correct answer
Explanation
Glisson's capsule is the connective tissue sheath that covers the liver and extends into its interior to divide the parenchyma into lobules. It is a defining anatomical feature of the liver.
B
Correct answer
Explanation
Pepsin is a gastric enzyme that functions optimally in the highly acidic environment of the stomach, which typically has a pH between 1.5 and 2.0.
-
secretin
-
enterogastron
-
rnterokinase
-
gastrin
A
Correct answer
Explanation
Pancreatic juice secretion is regulated by the hormones secretin and cholecystokinin. It is produced by the walls of the duodenum upon detection of acid food, proteins, fats, and vitamins.
-
gastrin
-
rennin
-
cholecystokinin
-
succus entricus
D
Correct answer
Explanation
The crypts of Lieberkuhn are simple, tubular structures which occur through out the small intestine and involved in th secretion of intestinal juice or succus entericus.
-
Protein content of food
-
Carbohydrate content of food
-
Oil content of food
-
Fat content of food
D
Correct answer
Explanation
Any food that contains fat causes the gallbladder to release bile. The higher the fat content of the food or meal, the more bile is released.
-
secretion of succus entericus
-
secretion of rennin
-
secretion of ptylin
-
digestion of food
A
Correct answer
Explanation
The mucous amembrane of intestinal wall is a single layered eptithelium of tall columber cells with interspersed golbelt cells. Thee epithelial cells have microvilli. In between the villi the mucous membrane is profusely folded and the infolding form pit-like simple tubular intestinal glands or crypts of Leiberkuhn. These secrete the intestinal digestive juice called succus entericus.
Rennin is component of gastric juice secreted from stomach. It secreted in form of inactive proenzyme called prorennin. It changes the soluble casein proein of milk into insoluble semifluid calcium paracaseinate.Saliva is secreted from salivary glands. The saliva contain ptyalin (salivary amylase) in mammals.
