What part of the brain is responsible for for balance, movement, and muscle coordination?
cerebrum |
|
cerebellum |
|
brainstem |
|
medulla |
The cerebellum is a large cluster of nerves at the base of the brain that's responsible for balance, movement, and muscle coordination.
Arteries carry __________ blood at __________ pressure.
oxygenated, low |
|
oxygenated, high |
|
deoxygenated, high |
|
deoxygenated, low |
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.
Which of the following is metamorphic rock?
granite |
|
obsidian |
|
coal |
|
marble |
The Earth's rocks fall into three categories based on how they're formed. Igneous rock (granite, basalt, obsidian) is formed from the hardening of molten rock (lava), sedimentary rock (shale, sandstone, coal) is formed by the gradual despositing and cementing of rock and other debris, and metamorphic rock (marble, slate, quartzite) which is formed when existing rock is altered though pressure, temperature, or chemical processes.
Velocity and displacement are fully described by both a magnitude and a direction. Velocity and displacement are which of the following?
scalar quantities |
|
composite quantities |
|
vector quantities |
|
combinational quantities |
Velocity and displacement are vector quantities which means each is fully described by both a magnitude and a direction. In contrast, scalar quantities are quantities that are fully described by a magnitude only. A variable indicating a vector quantity will often be shown with an arrow symbol: \(\vec{v}\)
In the heart, blood flows from the __________ ventricle to the lungs then back to the heart via the __________ atrium.
left, right |
|
left, left |
|
right, left |
|
right, right |
The two largest veins in the body, the venae cavae, pass blood to the right ventricle which pumps the blood to the lungs through the pulmonary artery. Blood picks up oxygen in the lungs and returns it to the left atrium via the pulmonary vein.
