Neurons are part of the __________ nervous system.

42% Answer Correctly

2

Blood pressure is generally highest in which of the following?

60% Answer Correctly

arteries

capillaries

heart

veins


Solution

Arteries are thick-walled because they carry oxygenated blood at high pressure, veins are comparatively thin-walled as they carry low-pressure deoxygenated blood.


3

Elements in the same group in the Periodic Table of the Elements have the same:

51% Answer Correctly

number of electron shells

number of electrons

number of electrons in their outer electron shell

number of atomic mass units


Solution

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.


4

Poor balance could indicate an issue with which part of the nervous system?

64% Answer Correctly

medulla

spinal cord

cerebrum

cerebellum


Solution

The cerebellum is a large cluster of nerves at the base of the brain that's responsible for balance, movement, and muscle coordination.


5

The two heart chambers that pump blood called:

59% Answer Correctly

atria

ventricles

aorta

valves


Solution

The heart is the organ that drives the circulatory system. In humans, it consists of four chambers with two that collect blood called atria and two that pump blood called ventricles. The heart's valves prevent blood pumped out of the ventricles from flowing back into the heart.
