Where is the Diaphram located?
- A.
Under the lungs and above the rib cage
- B.
Next to the stomach
- C.
In between the livers
Correct Answer
A. Under the lungs and above the rib cageExplanation
The diaphragm is a dome-shaped muscle located under the lungs and above the rib cage. It separates the thoracic cavity, where the heart and lungs are located, from the abdominal cavity. When the diaphragm contracts, it flattens and moves downward, allowing the lungs to expand and fill with air during inhalation. When it relaxes, the diaphragm moves back up, helping to push air out of the lungs during exhalation.Rate this question:

You have two tubes in throat that lead to the stomach and to the lungs.
- A.
True
- B.
False
Correct Answer
A. TrueExplanation
The statement is true because the human body has two tubes in the throat known as the esophagus and the trachea. The esophagus connects the throat to the stomach, allowing food and liquids to pass through for digestion. On the other hand, the trachea leads to the lungs, allowing air to pass through for respiration. These two separate tubes serve different functions and are essential for the proper functioning of the digestive and respiratory systems.Rate this question:

What does the respritory system work?
- A.
Supplies the blood with oxygen
- B.
Gets blood through the capillaries
- C.
Makes more blood
Correct Answer
A. Supplies the blood with oxygenExplanation
The respiratory system works by supplying the blood with oxygen. Oxygen is inhaled through the nose or mouth, travels down the trachea, and enters the lungs. In the lungs, oxygen is transferred to the bloodstream through tiny blood vessels called capillaries. This oxygen-rich blood is then pumped by the heart to the rest of the body, providing oxygen to the cells and tissues for their proper functioning.Rate this question:

- C.
Uses blood cells for energy
Correct Answer
A. Controls blood flow throughout the bodyExplanation
The circulatory system is responsible for controlling the flow of blood throughout the body. It consists of the heart, blood vessels, and blood cells. The heart pumps oxygenated blood to various parts of the body through arteries, and then collects deoxygenated blood through veins to be sent back to the lungs for oxygenation. This continuous circulation ensures that oxygen and nutrients are delivered to all cells in the body and waste products are removed. Therefore, the circulatory system plays a vital role in maintaining the overall functioning of the body.Rate this question:
