42% Answer Correctly

peripheral

autonomic

central

somatic

3

50°F is how many °C?

72% Answer Correctly

10

-10

58

122


Solution

The formula to convert from F° to C° is:

\(C° = {5 \over 9} (F° - 32)\)

plugging in our values gives:

\(C° = {5 \over 9} (50 - 32)\)

\(C° = {5 \over 9} (18)\)

\(C° = {90 \over 9}\)

\(C° = 10\)


4

An electrically charged atom is a(n):

49% Answer Correctly

proton

electron

neutron

ion


Solution

A compound is a substance containing two or more different chemical elements bound together by a chemical bond. In ionic compounds, one atom borrows an electron from another atom resulting in two ions (electrically charged atoms) of opposite polarities that then become bonded electrostatically.


5

What is a major difference between the somatic and autonomic nervous systems?

82% Answer Correctly

each belongs to a different nervous system

one is inherited, the other is learned

one controls thinking, the other controls feeling

one controls voluntary activity, one controls involuntary activity


Solution

Both are part of the peripheral nervous system. The somatic nervous system sends sensory information to the central nervous system and controls voluntary actions while the autonomic nervous system regulates involuntary activity in the heart, stomach, and intestines.
