Questions and Answers

1.

What are the by-products of physical activity? (Select 2)
- A.
  
  Water
- B.
  
  Carbon monoxide
- C.
  
  Hydrogen
- D.
  
  Carbon dioxide
Correct Answer(s)
A. Water
D. Carbon dioxide

Explanation
During physical activity, the body undergoes various metabolic processes to produce energy. One of the by-products of these processes is water. As the body breaks down carbohydrates and fats for energy, water is released as a result. Additionally, physical activity also increases respiration rate, leading to the production of carbon dioxide. This gas is a waste product of cellular respiration and is expelled from the body through exhalation. Therefore, water and carbon dioxide are the by-products of physical activity.

There are thirty-three bones in the skull.
- A.
  
  True
- B.
  
  False
Correct Answer
B. False

Explanation
The statement "There are thirty-three bones in the skull" is false. The human skull is made up of 22 bones, not 33. These bones include the cranial bones that form the top and sides of the skull, as well as the facial bones that make up the front of the skull.

3.

Which of the following are types of vertebrae? (Select 3)
- A.
  
  Thoracic
- B.
  
  Purassic
- C.
  
  Lumbar
- D.
  
  Ventrical
- E.
  
  Cervical
- F.
  
  Dorsal
Correct Answer(s)
A. Thoracic
C. Lumbar
E. Cervical

Explanation
The correct answer choices for the types of vertebrae are Thoracic, Lumbar, and Cervical. These are all specific regions of the spine. The thoracic vertebrae are located in the upper and mid-back region and are associated with the ribs. The lumbar vertebrae are in the lower back and are the largest and strongest of the vertebrae. The cervical vertebrae are in the neck region and support the head. The other answer choices, Purassic, Ventrical, and Dorsal, are not types of vertebrae.

Which of the following are parts of the brain? (Select 3)
- A.
  
  Cereberellum
- B.
  
  Brain stem
- C.
  
  Cerebellum
- D.
  
  Pons varolis
- E.
  
  Spinal cord
- F.
  
  Cerebrum
Correct Answer(s)
B. Brain stem
C. Cerebellum
F. Cerebrum

Explanation
The brain is a complex organ responsible for various functions in the body. The cerebellum, cerebrum, and brain stem are all parts of the brain. The cerebellum is involved in motor control and coordination, while the cerebrum is responsible for higher cognitive functions such as memory, language, and problem-solving. The brain stem connects the brain to the spinal cord and controls basic functions such as breathing, heart rate, and blood pressure. The other options, Pons varolis and spinal cord, are not parts of the brain but are adjacent structures involved in transmitting signals between the brain and the rest of the body.

5.

Which of the following are endocrine glands? (Select 3)
- A.
  
  Vendredic
- B.
  
  Pituitary
- C.
  
  Pineal
- D.
  
  Parathyroid
- E.
  
  Sesamoid
- F.
  
  Alterior
Correct Answer(s)
B. Pituitary
C. Pineal
D. Parathyroid

Explanation
The pituitary gland, pineal gland, and parathyroid glands are all examples of endocrine glands. These glands secrete hormones directly into the bloodstream, which then travel to target cells or organs to regulate various bodily functions. The pituitary gland is often referred to as the "master gland" because it controls the functions of many other endocrine glands. The pineal gland produces melatonin, a hormone that regulates sleep-wake cycles. The parathyroid glands produce parathyroid hormone, which helps regulate calcium and phosphorus levels in the body.

Rate this question:
6.

In which organ or organs can you find the alveoli?
- A.
  
  The heart
- B.
  
  The lungs
- C.
  
  The eye
- D.
  
  The ear
Correct Answer
B. The lungs

Explanation
The alveoli can be found in the lungs. These tiny air sacs are responsible for the exchange of oxygen and carbon dioxide during the process of breathing. They are located at the end of the bronchioles and are surrounded by a network of blood vessels. The alveoli greatly increase the surface area available for gas exchange, allowing oxygen to enter the bloodstream and carbon dioxide to be expelled from the body.

Rate this question:
7.

What is the normal rate of respiration?
- A.
  
  12-14 breaths per minute
- B.
  
  14-16 breaths per minute
- C.
  
  16-18 breaths per minute
Correct Answer
C. 16-18 breaths per minute

Explanation
The normal rate of respiration is typically between 16-18 breaths per minute. This refers to the number of breaths a person takes in one minute while at rest. It is important to note that this rate can vary depending on factors such as age, fitness level, and overall health.

Rate this question:
8.

The mediastinal lymphatic nodes drain which part of the body?
- A.
  
  The lungs
- B.
  
  The stomach
- C.
  
  The bladder
- D.
  
  The head
Correct Answer
A. The lungs

Explanation
The mediastinal lymphatic nodes are responsible for draining the lymph fluid from the lungs. Lymph nodes are an important part of the immune system, filtering out harmful substances and producing immune cells. The lungs are a major organ involved in respiration and are constantly exposed to airborne pathogens and pollutants. Therefore, it is crucial for the lymphatic system to drain the lymph fluid from the lungs to remove any potential pathogens or toxins.

Rate this question:
9.

One of the kidney's main functions is to filter urine.
- A.
  
  True
- B.
  
  False
Correct Answer
B. False

Explanation
The statement is false because one of the kidney's main functions is to filter blood, not urine. The kidneys filter waste products and excess water from the blood to produce urine, which is then excreted from the body.
