The respiratory and circulatory systems are similar in that they:
transport oxygen |
|
add carbon dioxide |
|
transport nutrients |
|
deoxygenate blood |
Like the respiratory system, the circulatory system serves to transport oxygen throughout the body while removing carbon dioxide. In addition, the circulatory system transports nutrients from the digestive system.
Poor balance could indicate an issue with which part of the nervous system?
spinal cord |
|
medulla |
|
cerebellum |
|
cerebrum |
The cerebellum is a large cluster of nerves at the base of the brain that's responsible for balance, movement, and muscle coordination.
Which part of the respiratory system helps protect against infection?
epiglottis |
|
pharynx |
|
trachea |
|
nasal cavity |
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, responsible for preventing food from entering the airway.
Force is measured in newtons (N) with 1 N being the force required to impart an acceleration of:
1 m/s to a mass of 1 kg |
|
1 mph to a mass of 1 kg |
|
1 m/s2 to a mass of 1 kg |
|
1 m/s2 to a mass of 1 kg/s2 |
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.
The rate of vibration of sound is called:
period |
|
volume |
|
frequency |
|
amplitude |
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.
