Blood is delivered to bodily tissues through:
plasma |
|
arterioles |
|
capillaries |
|
veins |

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.
Which of the following is the correct order for types of radiation from lowest to highest frequency?
infrared waves → microwaves → ultraviolet light |
|
visible light → ultraviolet light → radio waves |
|
microwaves → radio waves → visible light |
|
radio waves → visible light → gamma rays |
The electromagnetic spectrum covers all possible wavelengths and frequencies of radiation. From lowest frequency (longest wavelength) to highest frequency (shortest wavelength) radiation: radio waves → microwaves → infrared waves → visible light → ultraviolet light → X-rays → gamma rays.
Which of these parts of digestion takes place in the mouth?
breaking down fats |
|
breaking down proteins |
|
breaking down starches |

The two heart chambers that pump blood called:
valves |
|
ventricles |
|
atria |
|
aorta |
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.
