An atom is the smallest component of an element that still retains the properties of the element.
Arteries carry __________ blood at __________ pressure.
deoxygenated, high |
|
deoxygenated, low |
|
oxygenated, low |
|
oxygenated, high |
Veins carry blood back to the heart from the body. While arteries are thick-walled because they carry oxygenated blood at high pressure, veins are comparatively thin-walled as they carry low-pressure deoxygenated blood. Like the heart, veins contain valves to prevent blood backflow.
Which of the following describes the Earth's mantle?
hot |
|
dense |
|
makes up most of Earth's volume |
|
all of these |
Mantle makes up 84% of the Earth's volume and has an average thickness of approximately 1,800 miles (2,900 km). It is dense, hot, and primarily solid although in places it behaves more like a viscous fluid as the plates of the upper mantle and crust gradually "float" along its circumference.
What prevents blood pumped out of the ventricles from flowing back into the heart?
platelets |
|
atria |
|
valves |
|
capillaries |
The heart is the organ that drives the circulatory system. In humans, it consists of four chambers with two that collect blood called atria and two that pump blood called ventricles. The heart's valves prevent blood pumped out of the ventricles from flowing back into the heart.
Which of the following represents the largest value?
1 kL |
|
1 mL |
|
1 ML |
|
1 cL |
Mega (M) is 106, kilo (k) is 103, centi (c) is 10-2, milli (m) is 10-3 so 1 ML represents the largest value.
