Antigens in the blood determine:
blood type |
|
negative or positive status |
|
Rh factor |
|
blood oxygen capacity |
Blood is categorized into four different types (A, B, AB, and O) based on the type of antigens found on the outside of the red blood cells. Additionally, each type can be negative or positive based on whether or not the cells have an antigen called the Rh factor.
In the heart, blood flows from the __________ ventricle to the lungs then back to the heart via the __________ atrium.
left, left |
|
right, left |
|
left, right |

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.
Blood is circulated throughout the body via:
veins |
|
arterioles |
|
capillaries |
|
aorta |
The aorta is the body's largest artery and receives blood from the pulmonary vein via the left ventricle. 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 would you find in the side view mirror of a car?
convex mirror |
|
concave lens |
|
convex lens |
|
concave mirror |
A concave (or converging) mirror bulges inward and focuses reflected light on the mirror's focal point where the mirror's angles of incidence converge. In contrast, a convex (or diverging) mirror bulges outward and diffuses the light waves that strike it. A common use of a concave mirror is in a reflecting telescope, a common use of a convex mirror is in the side view mirror of a car.
A compound is a substance containing two or more different chemical elements bound together by what kind of bond?
molecular |
|
chemical |
|
covalent |
|
ionic |
A compound is a substance containing two or more different chemical elements bound together by a chemical bond. In covalent compounds, electrons are shared between atoms. 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.
