Which of these is not a function of bone in the human skeletal system?

52% Answer Correctly

protect bodily organs

store minerals

produce blood cells

store vitamins


Solution

Hard bones provide primary support for the endoskeleton while more flexible cartilage is found at the end of all bones, at the joints, and in the nose and ears. In addition to providing support and protecting bodily organs, bones also produce blood cells and store minerals like calcium.


3

80% Answer Correctly

cooling

phase transition

sublimation

4

All surface water is part of the:

76% Answer Correctly

atmosphere

hydrosphere

geosphere

lithosphere


Solution

The biosphere is the global ecological system integrating all living beings and their relationships. This includes their interactions with the lithosphere (the rigid outer part of the earth, consisting of the crust and upper mantle), hydrosphere (all surface water), and atmosphere (the envelope of gases surrounding the planet).


5

The heart __________ blood.

61% Answer Correctly

deoxygenates

filters

creates

oxygenates


Solution

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.
