3

Veins carry blood __________ the heart.

55% Answer Correctly

back to 

within

all of these

away from


Solution

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.


4

What kind of weather front is likely to create clouds and storms?

59% Answer Correctly

stationary front

temperate front

warm front

cold front

71% Answer Correctly

cartilage

ligaments

vertebra

tendons


Solution

Tough fibrous cords of connective tissue called tendons connect muscles to the skeleton while another type of connective tissue called ligaments connect bones to other bones at joints (elbow, knee, fingers, spinal column).
