    When oxygen is taken into a cell and is used in the breakdown of nutrients it is calle?

    • Cellular respiration

    • Compliance

    • Inhalation

    • Vital Capacity

    Correct Answer
    A. Cellular respiration
    Explanation
    When oxygen is taken into a cell and used in the breakdown of nutrients, it is called cellular respiration. This process occurs in the mitochondria of the cell and produces energy in the form of ATP. Cellular respiration is essential for the survival of cells and is a fundamental process in all living organisms.

    What is the main function of the respiratory system?

    • To break food down

    • To make red, white blood cells

    • Supply the blood with oxygen

    • Circulate the blood

    Correct Answer
    A. Supply the blood with oxygen
    Explanation
    The main function of the respiratory system is to supply the blood with oxygen. This is achieved through the process of respiration, where oxygen is inhaled into the lungs and then transported to the bloodstream. The oxygen-rich blood is then circulated throughout the body to provide oxygen to the cells and tissues, allowing them to carry out their functions. This process is essential for the survival and proper functioning of the body.

    Rate this question:

  • 4. 

    Which of the following is NOT a function of white blood cells?

    • Carry Oxygen

    • Fight parasites

    • Attack bacteria

    • Guard against infection

    Correct Answer
    A. Carry Oxygen
    Explanation
    White blood cells, also known as leukocytes, are responsible for various functions in the immune system. They play a crucial role in defending the body against infections and foreign substances. However, carrying oxygen is not one of their functions. Red blood cells, specifically the protein hemoglobin within them, are responsible for carrying oxygen to the body's tissues. White blood cells primarily function in recognizing and attacking pathogens, fighting parasites, and guarding against infections.

    The circulatory system is composed of?

    • The heart, blood, blood vessels

    • The heart, the brain, and the lungs

    • The lungs, the blood, and the blood vessels

    • The brain, the heart, and the blood vessels

    Correct Answer
    A. The heart, blood, blood vessels
    Explanation
    The circulatory system is composed of the heart, blood, and blood vessels. These three components work together to transport oxygen, nutrients, hormones, and waste products throughout the body. The heart pumps the blood, which carries oxygen and nutrients, through the blood vessels to reach all the cells and organs in the body. The blood vessels, including arteries, veins, and capillaries, provide a network of pathways for the blood to flow. This system ensures that all parts of the body receive the necessary oxygen and nutrients for proper functioning.

    The platelet's function is to...

    • Clot the blood

    • Clog the blood

    • Release chemicals

    • Fix damaged organs

    Correct Answer
    A. Clot the blood
    Explanation
    Platelets are small cell fragments in the blood that play a crucial role in the clotting process. When a blood vessel is damaged, platelets adhere to the site and form a plug to stop bleeding. They release chemicals that attract more platelets and help in the formation of a stable blood clot. This clotting mechanism is essential in preventing excessive bleeding and promoting wound healing. Therefore, the correct answer is "Clot the blood."

    The 4 major stages of digestion are:

    • Injestion, Chemical digestion, Physical digestions, Elimination

    • Digestion, Absorption, Water absorption, Elimination

    • Injesion, Chemical digestion, Water absorption, Physical digestion

    • Injestion, Digestion, Absorption, Elimination

    Correct Answer
    A. Injestion, Digestion, Absorption, Elimination
    Explanation
    The correct answer is "Injestion, Digestion, Absorption, Elimination". Ingestion refers to the intake of food into the body. Digestion involves the breakdown of food into smaller molecules through both chemical and physical processes. Absorption refers to the absorption of nutrients into the bloodstream from the digestive tract. Elimination is the process of removing waste products from the body through defecation. This sequence accurately represents the major stages of digestion in the correct order.

    Where does the exchange of oxygen and carbon dioxide take place?

    • Within the alveoli

    • The bronchioles

    • The lungs

    • Inside the right atrium of the heart

    Correct Answer
    A. Within the alveoli
    Explanation
    The exchange of oxygen and carbon dioxide takes place within the alveoli. Alveoli are tiny air sacs located at the end of the bronchioles in the lungs. They have thin walls and are surrounded by capillaries, allowing for efficient exchange of gases between the air in the alveoli and the bloodstream. Oxygen from the air enters the bloodstream, while carbon dioxide, a waste product, is removed from the bloodstream and exhaled out of the body.

    The trachea divides into how many "main stems"?

    • 2

    • 4

    • Doesn't divide at all

    • 6

    Correct Answer
    A. 2
    Explanation
    The trachea, also known as the windpipe, divides into two main stems called the bronchi. Each bronchus then branches out further into smaller bronchioles, which eventually lead to the lungs. This division allows for the efficient distribution of air into both lungs, ensuring proper oxygenation of the blood.

    Rate this question:

  • 10. 

    Why is the trachea surrounded by cartilage rings?

    • For structure

    • To prevent it from collapsing

    • To allow air to pass by efficiently

    • To produce mucus so it can trap particles

    Correct Answer
    A. To prevent it from collapsing
    Explanation
    The trachea is surrounded by cartilage rings to prevent it from collapsing. These rings provide structural support and help to maintain the shape and openness of the trachea. Without these cartilage rings, the trachea would be susceptible to collapsing under the pressure changes that occur during breathing. By preventing collapse, the cartilage rings ensure that air can pass through the trachea efficiently, allowing for proper respiration.

    When you breath in

    • Diaphragm moves up, rib cage contracts

    • Diaphragm moves down, rib cage contacts

    • Diaphragm moves down, rib cage expands

    • Diaphragm moves up, rib cage expands

    Correct Answer
    A. Diaphragm moves down, rib cage expands
    Explanation
    When you breathe in, the diaphragm moves down and the rib cage expands. This allows more space for the lungs to expand and fill with air. The diaphragm is a dome-shaped muscle located at the base of the lungs, and when it contracts and moves downward, it creates a vacuum effect that pulls air into the lungs. At the same time, the rib cage expands as the intercostal muscles between the ribs contract, further increasing the space available for the lungs to expand. This movement of the diaphragm and rib cage is essential for inhalation and the intake of oxygen.

    The gastric fluid components are...

    • Chyme, Mucus, HCl

    • Pancreatic juices, Mucus, pepsinogen

    • HCl, Pepsinogen, Mucus,

    • Bile, HCl, Mucus

    Correct Answer
    A. HCl, Pepsinogen, Mucus,
    Explanation
    The correct answer is HCl, Pepsinogen, Mucus. Gastric fluid is a digestive fluid produced by the stomach. HCl (hydrochloric acid) is a key component of gastric fluid, helping to break down food and kill bacteria. Pepsinogen is an inactive enzyme that is converted into pepsin, an enzyme that breaks down proteins, in the presence of HCl. Mucus is also present in gastric fluid, providing a protective lining for the stomach and lubricating the passage of food. This combination of HCl, pepsinogen, and mucus helps to facilitate the digestion process in the stomach.

  • 13. 

         In which digestive organ is chyme produced?

    • Mouth

    • Stomach

    • Small Intestine

    • Pancreas

    Correct Answer
    A. Small Intestine
    Explanation
    Chyme is produced in the stomach. After food is swallowed, it enters the stomach where it is mixed with gastric juices and broken down into a semi-liquid substance called chyme. The chyme is then gradually released into the small intestine for further digestion and absorption of nutrients.
