Which of the following is not true about simple magnets?
all of these are untrue |
|
opposite poles attract each other |
|
opposite poles repel each other |
|
same poles repel each other |
Simple magnets have two poles, north and south, and opposite poles attract each other (N attracts S, S attracts N). Likewise, the same pole of two magnets repel (N repels N, S repels S). The Earth has a magnetic field and North and South Poles which enables the use of a magnetic compass to determine direction.
The respiratory and circulatory systems are similar in that they:
add carbon dioxide |
|
deoxygenate blood |
|
transport nutrients |
|
transport oxygen |
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.
The heart __________ blood.
filters |
|
deoxygenates |
|
oxygenates |
|
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.
A transition zone between two air masses is called:
thunderstorm |
|
boundary |
|
front |
|
fog |
An air mass is a large body of air that has similar moisture (density) and temperature characteristics. A front is a transition zone between two air masses.
Which of the following does not filter air as part of the respiratory system?
nasal cavity |
|
epiglottis |
|
trachea |
|
pharynx |
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 which prevents food from entering the airway.
