Blood is delivered to bodily tissues through:
veins |
|
plasma |
|
arterioles |
|
capillaries |
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.
Scalar quantities are fully described by which of the following?
a direction only |
|
a magnitude and a polarity |
|
a magnitude only |
|
a magnitude and a direction |
Velocity and displacement are vector quantities which means each is fully described by both a magnitude and a direction. In contrast, scalar quantities are quantities that are fully described by a magnitude only. A variable indicating a vector quantity will often be shown with an arrow symbol: \(\vec{v}\)
The angle of reflection is equal to which the following?
focal point |
|
angle of incidence |
|
90° |
|
refractive index |
The law of reflection specifies how waves, including light waves, bounce off of surfaces. Specifically, the angle of incidence of the approaching wave is equal to the angle of reflection of the reflected wave as measured from a line perpendicular (90°) to the surface.
Which of the following is not a medium for sound waves?
none of these is a medium for sound waves |
|
liquid |
|
solid |
|
vacuum |
A vibrating object produces a sound wave that travels outwardly from the object through a medium (any liquid or solid matter). The vibration disturbs the particles in the surrounding medium, those particles disturb the particules next to them, and so on, as the sound propagates away from the vibration.
The brain and spinal cord make up the __________ nervous system.
peripheral |
|
autonomic |
|
somatic |
|
central |
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.
