Which of these represents the path of blood flow through the heart?
right atrium → left ventricle → lungs → left atrium → right ventricle |
|
left atrium → right ventricle → lungs → left atrium → right ventricle |
|
right atrium → right ventricle → lungs → left atrium → left ventricle |
|
left atrium → left ventricle → lungs → right atrium → right ventricle |
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.
Blood pressure is generally highest in which of the following?
capillaries |
|
veins |
|
arteries |
|
heart |
Arteries are thick-walled because they carry oxygenated blood at high pressure, veins are comparatively thin-walled as they carry low-pressure deoxygenated blood.
Poor balance could indicate an issue with which part of the nervous system?
spinal cord |
|
cerebellum |
|
medulla |
|
cerebrum |
The cerebellum is a large cluster of nerves at the base of the brain that's responsible for balance, movement, and muscle coordination.
__________ and __________ pair to strengthen bones.
vitamin D, calcium |
|
calcium, vitamin A |
|
vitamin D, magnesium |
|
iron, calcium |
Vitamin D helps calcium strengthen bones while also aiding muscle, nerve, and immune system function.
In the Periodic Table of the Elements, elements in the same column belong to the same:
group |
|
period |
|
family |
|
atomic number |
The columns of the Periodic Table are called groups and all elements in a group have the same number of electrons in their outer electron shell. The group that an element occupies generally determines its chemical properties as the number of outer shell electrons establishes the way it reacts with other elements to form molecules. So, because each element has the same number of electrons in its outer shell, each has similar reactivity.
