b) esophagus
c)
... [Show More] diagram
d) epiglottis
(Test 1) - Correct Answer- d) epiglottis
"the epiglottis covers the trachea during swallowing, thus preventing food from
entering the airway"
?= aka the windpipe
- is a cylindrical portion of the respiratory tract that joins the larynx with the lungs
(Test 1) - Correct Answer- Trachea
?= connects the throat to the stomach
- when someone swallows, this contracts to force the food down into the stomach
- like other structures in the respiratory system, this structure secretes mucus for
lubrication
(Test 1) - Correct Answer- Esophagus
Which substance makes up the pads that provide support between the vertebrae?
a) bone
b) cartilage
c) tendon
d) fat
(Test 1) - Correct Answer- b) cartilage

a) neck
b) back
c) side
d) brain
(Test 1) - Correct Answer- a) neck
Which element w/in the respiratory system is responsible for removing foreign matter
from the lungs?
a) bronchial tubes
b) cilia
c) trachea
d) alveoli
(Test 1) - Correct Answer- b) cilia
(READ STARRED BULLET POINT****)
- the cilia are the tiny hairs in the respiratory system that are responsible for
removing foreign matter from the lungs
**the cilia are located within the BRONCHIAL TUES, BUT it is the cilia that have the
responsibility for removing inappropriate materials b4 they enter the lungs**
Organized from high to low, the hierarchy of the human body's structure is as
follows:
organism, organ system, organs, tissues
Which of the following comes next?
a) molecules
b) atoms
c) cells
d) muscle
(Test 1) - Correct Answer- d) cells
after cells comes molecules & then atoms
On average, how many neutrons does one atom of bromine (Br) have?
NOTE:
- atomic #= 35
- atomic mass= 79.9
a) 35
b) 44.90
c) 45
d) 79.90
(Test 1) - Correct Answer- b) 44.90
to determine the number of neutrons (n), subtract the atomic number (35) from the
atomic mass (79.9)
79.9 - 35 = 44.90
On average, how many protons does one atom of zinc (Zn) have?
NOTE:
- atomic # = 30
- atomic mass = 65.39
a) 30
b) 35
c) 35.39
d) 65.39
(Test 1) - Correct Answer- a) 30
- The number of protons is the atomic number
- The number of protons is the same for every atom of a given element
What is the name of the process in the lungs by which oxygen is transported from
the air to the blood?
a) osmosis
b) diffusion
c) dissipation
d) reverse osmosis
(Test 1) - Correct Answer- b) diffusion
cannot be osmosis- osmosis is the movement of a solution from an area of low conc
to an area of higher conc through a permeable membrane
cannot be dissipation- dissipation is any wasteful consumption or use
cannot be reverse osmosis- a process for purifying a solution by forcing it through a
membrane that blocks only certain pollutants
Which gland is responsible for the regulation of calcium levels?
a) parathyroid glands
b) thyroid glands
c) adrenal glands
d) pancreas
(Test 1) - Correct Answer- a) parathyroid glands
"The parathyroid glands are 4 small glands that sit on top of the thyroid gland and
regulate calcium levels by secreting parathyroid hormone. The hormone regulates
the amount of CALCIUM & MAGNESIUM that is excreted by the KIDNEYS into the
URINE"
Which secretion of the digestive system is responsible for water reabsorption?
a) large intestine
b) duodenum
c) small intestine
d) gallbladder
(Test 1) - Correct Answer- a) large intestine
LI main functions:
- reabsorption of water into body to form solid waste**
- allows for absorption of vit K
Which of the following describes one responsibility of the integumentary system?
a) distributing vital substances (such as nutrients) throughout the body
b) blocking pathogens that cause diseases
c) sending leaked fluids from the cardiovascular system back to the blood vessels
d) storing bodily hormones that influence gender traits
(Test 1) - Correct Answer- b) blocking pathogens that cause diseases
"The integumetnary system includes skin, hair, & mucous membranes, all of which
are responsible (in part) for blocking disease-causing pathogens from entering the
blood stream"
IT CANNOT be A b/c the circulatory system distributes vital substances through the
body
IT CANNOT be C b/c the lymphatic system sends leaked fluids from the
cardiovascular system back to the blood vessels
IT CANNOT be D b/c the reproductive system stores bodily hormones that influence
gender traits
When are the parasympathetic nerves active w/in the nervous system?
When an individual....
a) experiences a strong emotion, such as fear or excitement
b) feels pain or heat
c) is either talking or walking
d) is either resting or eating
(Test 1) - Correct Answer- d) when an individual is either resting or eating
When are the sympathetic nerves active w/in the nervous system?
When an individual....
a) experiences a strong emotion, such as fear or excitement
b) feels pain or heat
c) is either talking or walking
d) is either resting or eating
(Test 1) - Correct Answer- a) when an individual experiences a strong emotion, such
as fear or excitement
When are the sensory neurons active w/in the nervous system?
When an individual....
a) experiences a strong emotion, such as fear or excitement
b) feels pain or heat
c) is either talking or walking
d) is either resting or eating
(Test 1) - Correct Answer- b) when an individual feels pain or heat
When are the sensory-somatic ns active w/in the nervous system?
When an individual....
a) experiences a strong emotion, such as fear or excitement
b) feels pain or heat
c) is either talking or walking
d) is either resting or eating
(Test 1) - Correct Answer- c) when an individual is either talking or walking
Which of the following best describes the relationship b/w the circulation system &
the integumentary system
a) removal of excess heat from body
b) hormonal influence on bp
c) regulation of blood's pressure and volume
d) development of blood cells w/in marrow
(Test 1) - Correct Answer- a) removal of excess heat from body
"the integumentary system (ie: skin, hair, etc) coordinates with the circulatory system
to remove excess heat from the body. The superficial blood vessels (nearest the skin
surface) dilate to allow the heat to exit the body"
NOT B b/c the hormonal influence on bp is the result of the relationship b/w the
circulatory system and the endocrine system
NOT C b/c the urinary system is responsible for assisting in the regulation of blood's
pressure and volume
NOT D b/c the skeletal system is responsible for assisting in the development of
blood vessels w/in the marrow
The hormonal influence on bp is the result of the relationship between the circulatory
system & the ? system
(Test 1) - Correct Answer- Endocrine System
