A broken rib is diagnosed to a patient. What is the most likely type of scan undertaken?
- A.
X-Ray
- B.
CT scan
- C.
PET scan
- D.
Ultrasound

A. X-RayExplanation
An X-Ray is the most likely type of scan undertaken to diagnose a broken rib. X-Rays use electromagnetic radiation to create images of the inside of the body, allowing doctors to visualize bones and detect fractures. X-Rays are commonly used to diagnose broken bones due to their ability to provide clear and detailed images of the skeletal structure. CT scans, PET scans, and ultrasounds are less commonly used for diagnosing broken ribs, as they are more suitable for other types of medical conditions.Rate this question:

Which system assists with removing foreign material from blood and maintaining tissue balances?
- A.
Circulatory
- B.
Digestive
- C.
Lymphatic
- D.
Endocrine
Correct Answer
C. LympHaticExplanation
The lymphatic system assists with removing foreign material from the blood and maintaining tissue balances. It consists of lymphatic vessels, lymph nodes, and lymphoid organs. Lymphatic vessels collect excess fluid, waste products, and foreign substances from the tissues and transport them to the lymph nodes. The lymph nodes filter the lymph, removing any harmful substances such as bacteria or viruses. The lymphatic system also plays a role in immune responses, as it contains lymphocytes that help fight off infections. Therefore, the lymphatic system is responsible for maintaining the cleanliness and balance of the body's tissues.Rate this question:

The digestive system is responsible for breaking down food into nutrients that can be absorbed by the body. The respiratory system is responsible for breathing and gas exchange, the urinary system for filtering and eliminating waste from the body, and the nervous system for coordinating and controlling bodily functions. Therefore, the correct answer is Digestive.Rate this question:

False
Correct Answer
A. TrueExplanation
The statement is true because a thrombosed vein refers to a vein that has developed a blood clot, which can be dangerous if left untreated. In such cases, the vein may need to be surgically removed to prevent further complications. Since the vein was once part of the circulatory system, its removal would indeed mean that a part of the circulatory system has been taken out.Rate this question:

The skeletal and movement system encourages blood supply to the body.
- A.
True
- B.
False
Correct Answer
A. TrueExplanation
The skeletal and movement system encourages blood supply to the body because when muscles contract during movement, they squeeze the blood vessels, helping to push blood back towards the heart. This increases blood circulation and ensures that oxygen and nutrients are delivered to all parts of the body. Additionally, physical activity stimulates the production of new blood vessels, further enhancing blood supply.Rate this question:
