The brain and spinal cord make up the __________ nervous system.
peripheral |
|
central |
|
autonomic |
|
somatic |
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.
The heart __________ blood.
deoxygenates |
|
oxygenates |
|
filters |
|
creates |
To provide oxygen to the body, blood flows through the heart in a path formed by the right atrium → right ventricle → lungs → left atrium → left ventricle → body. When blood enters the right side of the heart it is deoxygenated. It enters the left side of the heart oxygenated after traveling to the lungs.
The rate of vibration of sound is called:
volume |
|
period |
|
amplitude |
|
frequency |
The rate of vibration of sound is called frequency and is measured in hertz (Hz). One hertz is one repetition per second and sounds with high frequency have a higher pitch than sounds with lower frequency. Humans can hear sounds in the range of 20 Hz to 20 kHz.
Which of the following is the correct order for types of radiation from longest to shortest wavelength?
infrared waves → microwaves → ultraviolet light |
|
microwaves → radio waves → visible light |
|
radio waves → visible light → gamma rays |
|
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.
