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.
Which of the following represents the largest value?
1 mL |
|
1 kL |
|
1 cL |
|
1 ML |
Mega (M) is 106, kilo (k) is 103, centi (c) is 10-2, milli (m) is 10-3 so 1 ML represents the largest value.
The gravitational interaction of Earth and the Moon is responsible for which of these?
seasons |
|
the northern lights |
|
day and night cycle |
|
tides |
Tides are caused by the gravitational interaction of Earth and the Moon.
Convert -20C° to F°.
-36 |
|
-4 |
|
78 |
|
36 |
To convert from C° to F° use:
\(F° = {9 \over 5}C° + 32\)
\(F° = {9 \over 5}(-20) + 32\)
\(F° = {-180 \over 5} + 32\)
\(F° = -36 + 32 = -4\)
Veins __________ blood at __________ pressure.
oxygenated, low |
|
deoxygenated, high |
|
oxygenated, high |
|
deoxygenated, low |
Veins carry blood back to the heart from the body. While arteries are thick-walled because they carry oxygenated blood at high pressure, veins are comparatively thin-walled as they carry low-pressure deoxygenated blood. Like the heart, veins contain valves to prevent blood backflow.
