1

Which part of the respiratory system helps protect against infection?

53% Answer Correctly

trachea

nasal cavity

pharynx

epiglottis


Solution

After air enters through the nose, it passes through the nasal cavity which filters, moistens, and warms it. Further filtering takes place in the pharynx, which also helps protect against infection, and then in the trachea which is just past the epiglottis, responsible for preventing food from entering the airway.


2

Which of blood component fights infection?

89% Answer Correctly

plasma

white blood cells

red blood cells

platelets


Solution

Blood is created in bone marrow and is made up of cells suspended in liquid plasma. Red blood cells carry oxygen, white blood cells fight infection, and platelets are cell fragments that allow blood to clot.


3

What part of the nervous system controls simple reflexes?

54% Answer Correctly

spinal cord

autonomic

cerebrum

medulla


Solution

The spinal cord connects the brain to the body's network of nerves. It carries impulses between all organs and the brain and controls simple reflexes.


4

Convert 0C° to F°.

72% Answer Correctly

16

-32

32

0


Solution

To convert from C° to F° use:

\(F° = {9 \over 5}C° + 32\)

\(F° = {9 \over 5}(0) + 32\)

\(F° = 0 + 32 = 32\)

 


5

Which of the following indicates the correct reproductive sequence?

64% Answer Correctly

ovum → zygote → fetus

ovum → fetus → zygote

none of these are correct

zygote → ovum → fetus


Solution

During intercourse, the penis ejaculates sperm, produced in the testes, into the vagina. Some of the sperm makes their way to the uterus where, if they encounter an egg to fertilize, unite with the ovum to form a fertilized egg or zygote. The zygote then may implant in the uterus and eventually develop into a fetus.
