Poor balance could indicate an issue with which part of the nervous system?
spinal cord |
|
cerebrum |
|
medulla |
|
cerebellum |
The cerebellum is a large cluster of nerves at the base of the brain that's responsible for balance, movement, and muscle coordination.
The universal recipient blood type can recieve any other blood type. Which blood type is the universal recipient?
O-negative |
|
AB-positive |
|
O |
|
AB |
Blood transfer is limited by the type and Rh factor of the blood. Someone who has Rh-factor negative blood cannot receive blood with a positive type but a person with Rh-factor positive type blood can receive Rh-negative blood. Type O negative blood is the universal donor because it can be given to a person with any blood type. Type AB positive is the universal recipient meaning someone with this blood type can receive any other type of blood.
The brain and spinal cord make up the __________ nervous system.
central |
|
autonomic |
|
somatic |
|
peripheral |
The nervous system consists of the brain and spinal cord (central nervous system) and the peripheral nervous system which is the network of nerve cells (neurons) that collect and distribute signals from the central nervous system throughout the body.
Scalar quantities are fully described by which of the following?
a magnitude and a polarity |
|
a magnitude only |
|
a magnitude and a direction |
|
a direction only |
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 Periodic Table of the Elements, atomic number is equal to which of the following?
number of electrons orbiting the nucleus |
|
number of neutrons in the nucleus |
|
number of protons + neutrons in the nucleus |
|
number of protons in the nucleus |
The Periodic Table of the Elements categorizes elements primarily by the number of protons in their nucleus (atomic number) and secondarily by the characteristics they exhibit.
