    What are the 3 stages your body goes through when responding to stress? IN CORRECT ORDER!

    • Exhaustion, alarm, resistance

    • Alarm, resistance, exhaustion

    Correct Answer
    A. Alarm, resistance, exhaustion
    Explanation
    The correct order of the 3 stages that the body goes through when responding to stress is alarm, resistance, and exhaustion. In the alarm stage, the body releases stress hormones and prepares for fight or flight. This is followed by the resistance stage, where the body tries to adapt and cope with the stressor. Finally, if the stress continues for a prolonged period, the body enters the exhaustion stage, where it becomes depleted and vulnerable to physical and mental health issues.

    What causes the skin malady known as acne?

    • Chocolate

    • Extra oil production

    • Bad manners

    • Sweat

    Correct Answer
    A. Extra oil production
    Explanation
    Acne is caused by extra oil production in the skin. When the oil glands produce an excessive amount of oil, it can clog the pores and lead to the formation of pimples, blackheads, and whiteheads. This excess oil can be triggered by hormonal changes, such as during puberty, or by other factors like stress and certain medications. While factors like chocolate, bad manners, and sweat can potentially worsen acne, the primary cause is the overproduction of oil.

    Alcohol is a _____________?

    • Stimulant

    • Depressant

    • Fun time no matter what

    Correct Answer
    A. Depressant
    Explanation
    Alcohol is classified as a depressant because it slows down the central nervous system, resulting in decreased brain activity and a decrease in overall bodily functions. It inhibits neurotransmitters, leading to a decrease in cognitive and motor skills, relaxation, and sedation. This can cause drowsiness, impaired judgment, and a decrease in coordination. Additionally, alcohol can also have a depressive effect on mood and emotions.

    Alcohol is the most commonly used drug among teens because it is easily accessible and widely accepted in many social settings.

    What causes the skin disease called shingles?

    • Scratching

    • Bacteria

    • Dryness

    • Viruses

    Correct Answer
    A. Viruses
    Explanation
    Shingles is caused by viruses. Specifically, it is caused by the varicella-zoster virus, which is the same virus that causes chickenpox. After a person recovers from chickenpox, the virus can remain dormant in the body and reactivate later in life, leading to shingles. The virus affects the nerves and causes a painful rash, usually occurring on one side of the body. It is important to note that scratching, bacteria, or dryness do not directly cause shingles; it is the reactivation of the virus that leads to the development of this skin disease.

    Name the 4 factors which affect a person's BAC

    • Rate of consumption, gender, body size, amount of food in stomach

    • Gender, rate of consumption, body size, age

    • Genger, age, amout of alcohol

    Correct Answer
    A. Rate of consumption, gender, body size, amount of food in stomach
    Explanation
    The factors that affect a person's BAC (Blood Alcohol Concentration) include the rate of consumption, gender, body size, and the amount of food in the stomach. The rate of consumption refers to how quickly alcohol is consumed, with faster consumption leading to a higher BAC. Gender plays a role as women generally have a lower tolerance for alcohol due to differences in body composition and metabolism. Body size also affects BAC, as larger individuals tend to have a higher tolerance for alcohol. The amount of food in the stomach can slow down the absorption of alcohol, leading to a lower BAC.

    Tobacco products are classified as?

    • Smoked and chew

    • Smoked and smokeless

    • Cigarettes and chew

    Correct Answer
    A. Smoked and smokeless
    Explanation
    Tobacco products are classified as smoked and smokeless because they can be consumed through smoking or by using smokeless methods such as chewing or snuffing. Smoked tobacco products include cigarettes, cigars, and pipes, where the tobacco is burned and the smoke is inhaled. Smokeless tobacco products, on the other hand, include chewing tobacco, snuff, and snus, which are consumed without burning and inhaling the smoke. This classification helps differentiate between the two main ways in which tobacco is consumed.

    • Obesity

    • Heart disease

    • Tooth decay

    • The common cold

    Correct Answer
    A. Tooth decay
    Explanation
    Tooth decay is the most prevalent noncontagious disease in the world because it affects a large portion of the global population. It is caused by the buildup of plaque and bacteria on the teeth, leading to the destruction of tooth enamel and the formation of cavities. Poor oral hygiene, a diet high in sugar, and lack of access to dental care contribute to the high prevalence of tooth decay. It affects both children and adults and can lead to pain, tooth loss, and other complications if left untreated.
