Boyle’s law states that a gas volume is inversely proportional to its pressure, at a constanttemperature. Which of the following statements best describes this relationship?
- A.
As pressure increases, volume decreases
- B.
As pressure increases, volume increases
- C.
As pressure increases, volume remains constant
- D.
As pressure decreases, volume remains constant
Correct Answer
A. As pressure increases, volume decreasesExplanation
Boyle's law states that as the pressure exerted on a gas increases, its volume decreases, assuming that the temperature remains constant. This means that there is an inverse relationship between pressure and volume. When pressure is increased, the gas molecules are forced closer together, resulting in a decrease in volume. Conversely, when pressure is decreased, the gas molecules have more space to move and the volume increases. Therefore, the statement "As pressure increases, volume decreases" accurately describes this relationship.Rate this question:

What two major body systems work together to allow the body to regulate and maintainhomeostasis?
- A.
Lymphatic and respiratory
- B.
Endocrine and lymphatic
- C.
Nervous and endocrine
- D.
Muscular and nervous
Correct Answer
C. Nervous and endocrineExplanation
The nervous and endocrine systems work together to regulate and maintain homeostasis in the body. The nervous system controls and coordinates the body's responses to internal and external stimuli, while the endocrine system releases hormones that regulate various bodily functions. Together, these two systems help maintain a stable internal environment by communicating and coordinating the body's responses to changes in the external environment or internal conditions.Rate this question:

Within the nervous system, these highly specialized nerve cells function by conductingnerve impulses
- A.
Neuroglia
- B.
Dendrites
- C.
Neurons
- D.
Axial
Correct Answer
C. NeuronsExplanation
Neurons are highly specialized nerve cells that function by conducting nerve impulses within the nervous system. They are responsible for transmitting information throughout the body, allowing for communication between different parts of the body and the brain. Neuroglia are support cells that provide structural and functional support to neurons, but they do not conduct nerve impulses. Dendrites are extensions of neurons that receive signals from other neurons, while the axon is the long, slender projection that carries the nerve impulses away from the cell body. Therefore, neurons are the correct answer as they are the primary cells involved in conducting nerve impulses.Rate this question:

What is the main function of the central nervous system?
- A.
Controls the visceral motor nerve fibers
- B.
Serves as the major signal receptor and integration site
- C.
Transmits impulses from peripheral organs to the central nervous system
- D.
Transmits impulses from the central nervous system out to the peripheral organs
Correct Answer
B. Serves as the major signal receptor and integration siteExplanation
The central nervous system serves as the major signal receptor and integration site. This means that it receives signals and information from various parts of the body and integrates them to coordinate and regulate bodily functions. It processes sensory information, initiates motor responses, and controls the overall functioning of the body. The central nervous system includes the brain and spinal cord, which work together to receive, interpret, and respond to signals from the environment and the body's internal systems.Rate this question:

Central nervous system stimulants excite acetylcholine production. Which example bestrepresents a central nervous system stimulant?
- A.
Benzene
- B.
Acetone
- C.
Ethylene glycol
- D.
Organophosphate
Correct Answer
D. OrganopHospHateExplanation
Organophosphates are a class of chemicals that are known to stimulate the central nervous system. They work by inhibiting the enzyme acetylcholinesterase, which breaks down acetylcholine, a neurotransmitter involved in various brain functions. By inhibiting this enzyme, organophosphates increase the levels of acetylcholine in the brain, leading to overstimulation of the central nervous system. This can result in symptoms such as increased heart rate, heightened alertness, and improved cognitive function. Therefore, organophosphates best represent a central nervous system stimulant among the given options.Rate this question:
