What is the body's largest artery?
arteriole |
|
capillary |
|
aorta |
|
vena cava |
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.
The coldest point in the Earth's atmosphere is reached in which atmospheric layer?
stratosphere |
|
thermosphere |
|
mesosphere |
|
troposphere |
In the mesosphere, temperature again drops as altitude increases until the coldest point in the Earth's atmosphere, the mesopause, is reached where temperatures fall to −225 °F (−143 °C).
The heart __________ blood.
creates |
|
filters |
|
oxygenates |
|
deoxygenates |
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.

nucleus |
|
cell membrane |
|
cytoplasm |
|
cell wall |
The nucleus of a eukaryotic cell contains the genetic material of the cell and is surrounded by cytoplasm which contains many organelles.

|
veins |
|
