#digestive system question

3 public questions tagged with this topic.

Which part of pharynx functions only in respiration?

Correct option is C, Nasopharynx. In Digestive System, the accurate description is Nasopharynx, and that is what you should commit to memory. Keep the definition tight and the role clear — the functional job described in the stem is exactly what Nasopharynx does in Digestive System. Then Nasopharynx is the answer you can defend. Check yourself by covering the options and writing the answer first, then matching the letter — that builds confidence. If the wording feels dense, translate it into everyday language first, then map that plain sentence back onto Nasopharynx. Remember that physiology questions reward precise language: name the process, the location, and the outcome, then match that to the option text.

The gastrointestinal tract is also known as the:

Correct option is B, Alimentary canal. In Digestive System, the accurate description is Alimentary canal, and that is what you should commit to memory. Keep the definition tight and the role clear — Alimentary canal is the option that correctly names the structure, process, or principle asked for in Digestive System. Then Alimentary canal is the answer you can defend. Check yourself by covering the options and writing the answer first, then matching the letter — that builds confidence. If the wording feels dense, translate it into everyday language first, then map that plain sentence back onto Alimentary canal. Remember that physiology questions reward precise language: name the process, the location, and the outcome, then match that to the option text.

Gallbladder primarily functions to:

Answer: B) Store and concentrate bile. For Digestive System, once you lock onto the key mechanism or definition, Store and concentrate bile is the clear fit. If you restate the concept in your own words, the functional job described in the stem is exactly what Store and concentrate bile does in Digestive System. So Store and concentrate bile is the clean, accurate selection. If a similar stem appears later, start from the same core fact and you will land on the same kind of answer. In class notes, highlight this same phrase next to the related diagram so the wording and the picture reinforce each other.
