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.
"For every action, there is an equal and opposite reaction." This describes which of Newton's laws of motion?
fourth |
|
first |
|
second |
|
third |
Newton's third law of motion states that For every action, there is an equal and opposite reaction. When an object exerts a force on another object, the second object exerts a force of equal magnitude in the opposite direction on the first object.
When light travels between two substances it bends. This is called:
refraction |
|
reflection |
|
conduction |
|
convection |
Because different materials have different refractive indices, light changes speed when passing from one material to another. This causes the light to bend (refraction) at an angle that depends on the change in refractive index between the materials. The greater the difference, the higher the angle of refraction.
During digestion, the kidneys filter substances from the blood. Which of the following is not filtered by the kidneys?
fats |
|
water |
|
salt |
|
minerals |
Chemical waste like excess water, minerals, and salt are filtered from the blood by the kidneys and secreted into the urine. Urine is transported from the kidneys to the bladder through ureters.
Which of the following is not a medium for sound waves?
none of these is a medium for sound waves |
|
solid |
|
vacuum |
|
liquid |
A vibrating object produces a sound wave that travels outwardly from the object through a medium (any liquid or solid matter). The vibration disturbs the particles in the surrounding medium, those particles disturb the particules next to them, and so on, as the sound propagates away from the vibration.
