The two heart chambers that pump blood called:
aorta |
|
atria |
|
valves |
|
ventricles |
The heart is the organ that drives the circulatory system. In humans, it consists of four chambers with two that collect blood called atria and two that pump blood called ventricles. The heart's valves prevent blood pumped out of the ventricles from flowing back into the heart.
Antigens in the blood determine:
negative or positive status |
|
Rh factor |
|
blood oxygen capacity |
|
blood type |
Blood is categorized into four different types (A, B, AB, and O) based on the type of antigens found on the outside of the red blood cells. Additionally, each type can be negative or positive based on whether or not the cells have an antigen called the Rh factor.
Within DNA, a variety of a particular gene is called a(n):
homozygous |
|
chromosome |
|
heterozygous |
|
allele |
The gene is the base unit of inheritance and is contained within DNA. A gene may come in several varieties (alleles) and there are a pair of alleles for every gene. If the alleles are alike, a person is homozygous for that gene. If the alleles are different, heterozygous.
Elements that belong to the same period in the Periodic Table of the Elements have the same number of:
atomic mass units |
|
protons |
|
electrons |
|
electron shells |
The rows of the Periodic Table are called periods and contain elements that have the same number of electron shells ordered from lower to higher atomic number.
Which of these does not contain oxygenated blood?
right atrium |
|
aorta |
|
left ventricle |
|
pulmonary vein |
To provide oxygen to the body, blood flows through the heart in a path formed by the right atrium → right ventricle → lungs → left atrium → left ventricle → body. When blood enters the right side of the heart it is deoxygenated. It enters the left side of the heart oxygenated after traveling to the lungs.
