1

Antigens are found on the outside of which blood cells?

54% Answer Correctly

white

plasma

platelets

red


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

Arteries carry __________ blood at __________ pressure.

65% Answer Correctly

deoxygenated, low

oxygenated, high

oxygenated, low

deoxygenated, 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

What is the body's largest artery?

72% Answer Correctly

capillary

vena cava

arteriole

aorta


Solution

The aorta is the body's largest artery and receives blood from the pulmonary vein via the left ventricle. From there, blood is circulated through the rest of the body through smaller arteries called arterioles that branch out from the heart. Finally, blood is delivered to bodily tissues through capillaries.


4

An element in the physical state of __________ maintains a constant volume but their shape depends upon the shape of their container.

81% Answer Correctly

liquid

plasma

gas

solid


Solution

In the liquid state, molecules flow freely around each other and exist at a higher temperature range than the same substance in a solid state. Liquids maintain a constant volume but their shape depends upon the shape of their container.


5
