Which of the following does not filter air as part of the respiratory system?
nasal cavity |
|
pharynx |
|
trachea |
|
epiglottis |
After air enters through the nose, it passes through the nasal cavity which filters, moistens, and warms it. Further filtering takes place in the pharynx, which also helps protect against infection, and then in the trachea which is just past the epiglottis which prevents food from entering the airway.
In the heart, the __________ artery and vein manage blood flow to the lungs.
pulmonary |
|
atrial |
|
aorta |
|
capillary |
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.
Elements in the Periodic Table of the Elements are ordered by which of the following?
number of electron shells |
|
atomic weight |
|
atomic number |
|
atomic mass |
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.
Force is measured in newtons (N) with 1 N being the force required to impart an acceleration of:
1 m/s2 to a mass of 1 kg |
|
1 mph to a mass of 1 kg |
|
1 m/s2 to a mass of 1 kg/s2 |
|
1 m/s to a mass of 1 kg |
Weight is a force that describes the attraction of gravity on an object. Force is measured in newtons (N) with 1 N being the force required to impart an acceleration of 1 m/s2 to a mass of 1 kg.
Which of the following is the correct order for types of radiation from longest to shortest wavelength?
infrared waves → microwaves → ultraviolet light |
|
radio waves → visible light → gamma rays |
|
microwaves → radio waves → visible light |
|
visible light → ultraviolet light → radio waves |
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.
