    Explanation
    The correct order of the structural organization of the human body is from smallest to largest: chemicals, cells, tissues, organs, systems, organisms. Chemicals are the basic building blocks of matter, followed by cells, which are the basic structural and functional units of the body. Cells then combine to form tissues, which are groups of similar cells that work together to perform a specific function. Organs are made up of different tissues and work together to perform specific functions. Systems are groups of organs that work together to perform a broader function. Finally, organisms are individual living beings that consist of multiple systems working together.

    • Medial

    • Lateral

    • Proximal

    • Distal

    Correct Answer
    A. Proximal

    A cross-bridge is formed when myosin heads bind to

    • Troponin

    • Actin

    • Tropomyosin

    • Ca++

    • Ca-

    Correct Answer
    A. Actin
    Explanation
    A cross-bridge is formed when myosin heads bind to actin. Actin is a protein filament found in muscle cells that plays a crucial role in muscle contraction. When the myosin heads bind to actin, it causes the filaments to slide past each other, resulting in muscle contraction. This interaction between myosin and actin is essential for muscle movement and is a fundamental process in the functioning of the muscular system.

    The muscles that are found at openings of the body are collectively called ________.

    • Convergent muscles

    • Circular muscles

    • Parallel muscles

    • Divergent muscles

    Correct Answer
    A. Circular muscles
    Explanation
    Circular muscles are the correct answer because they are the muscles that are found at openings of the body. These muscles are arranged in a circular pattern around an opening and are responsible for controlling the opening and closing of various body passages, such as the mouth, anus, and blood vessels. They contract and relax in a circular motion, allowing for the regulation of the flow of substances in and out of the body.

    Which of the following muscles is involved in abduction?

    • Deltoid

    • Subscapularis

    • Teres major

    • Latissimus dorsi

    Correct Answer
    A. Deltoid
    Explanation
    The deltoid muscle is involved in abduction. Abduction refers to the movement of a body part away from the midline of the body. The deltoid muscle is located in the shoulder and is responsible for lifting the arm away from the body, allowing for abduction to occur. The other muscles listed, such as the subscapularis, teres major, and latissimus dorsi, are not primarily involved in abduction but have different functions in the shoulder and upper body.
