Blood is delivered to bodily tissues through:
arterioles |
|
capillaries |
|
plasma |
|
veins |
The aorta is the body's largest artery and receives blood from the pulmonary vein via the left ventricle. From there, blood is circulated through the rest of the body through smaller arteries called arterioles that branch out from the heart. Finally, blood is delivered to bodily tissues through capillaries.
In the heart, blood flows from the __________ ventricle to the lungs then back to the heart via the __________ atrium.
right, right |
|
left, left |
|
left, right |

right, left |
The two largest veins in the body, the venae cavae, pass blood to the right ventricle which pumps the blood to the lungs through the pulmonary artery. Blood picks up oxygen in the lungs and returns it to the left atrium via the pulmonary vein.
Bronchioles, alveolus, and capillaries are vital parts of which bodily system?
digestion |
|
circulation |
|
respiration |
|
nervous |
The trachea branches into the left and right bronchi which each lead to a lung where the bronchi subdivide into smaller tubes called bronchioles. Each bronchiole ends in a small sac called an alveolus which allows oxygen from the air to enter the bloodstream via tiny blood vessels called capillaries.
Which of the following describes the Earth's mantle?
makes up most of Earth's volume |
|
dense |
|
all of these |
|
hot |
Mantle makes up 84% of the Earth's volume and has an average thickness of approximately 1,800 miles (2,900 km). It is dense, hot, and primarily solid although in places it behaves more like a viscous fluid as the plates of the upper mantle and crust gradually "float" along its circumference.
