1

The Rh factor antigen in blood determines:

57% Answer Correctly

universal donor status

universal recipient status

postive or negative

blood type


Solution

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.


2

Veins __________ blood at __________ pressure.

49% Answer Correctly

deoxygenated, high

oxygenated, low

deoxygenated, low

oxygenated, high


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.


3

Regulation of heart rhythm occurs in:

61% Answer Correctly

cerebrum

nerves

medulla

cerebellum


Solution

Part of the brainstem, the medulla is the connection between the brain and the spinal cord. It controls involuntary actions like breathing, swallowing, and heartbeat.


4

Which of the following is the correct order for types of radiation from lowest to highest frequency?

63% Answer Correctly

radio waves → visible light → gamma rays

visible light → ultraviolet light → radio waves

infrared waves → microwaves → ultraviolet light

microwaves → radio waves → visible light


Solution

The electromagnetic spectrum covers all possible wavelengths and frequencies of radiation.  From lowest frequency (longest wavelength) to highest frequency (shortest wavelength) radiation: radio waves → microwaves → infrared waves → visible light → ultraviolet light → X-rays → gamma rays.


5

50°F is how many °C?

72% Answer Correctly

-10

122

10

58


Solution

The formula to convert from F° to C° is:

\(C° = {5 \over 9} (F° - 32)\)

plugging in our values gives:

\(C° = {5 \over 9} (50 - 32)\)

\(C° = {5 \over 9} (18)\)

\(C° = {90 \over 9}\)

\(C° = 10\)
