2.

Helping blood clot if you get cut are _________.
- Kleenex-tissues
- Organs
- Tendons
- None of these
Correct Answer

A. None of these

Explanation

The given options, kleenex-tissues, organs, and tendons, are not directly related to helping blood clot if you get cut. Kleenex-tissues are used for blowing noses or wiping hands, organs are part of the body's systems, and tendons are connective tissues that attach muscles to bones. None of these options have a direct role in blood clotting. Therefore, the correct answer is "None of these."

From the stomach, food travels down the _________, a long tube that leads to the stomach.
- Esophagus
- Trachea
- Heart
- Villi
Correct Answer

A. Esophagus

Explanation

The correct answer is esophagus. The esophagus is a long tube that connects the throat to the stomach. It carries food from the mouth to the stomach through a series of muscular contractions called peristalsis. The trachea is the windpipe, which carries air to and from the lungs. The heart is a muscular organ that pumps blood throughout the body. Villi are small finger-like projections in the small intestine that help absorb nutrients from food.

4.

From the stomach, partly digested food moves in the _____ intestine.
- Large
- Small
Correct Answer

A. Small

Explanation

Partly digested food moves from the stomach into the small intestine. The small intestine is responsible for further digestion and absorption of nutrients from the food. It is called the small intestine because it is narrower and longer compared to the large intestine. The large intestine mainly absorbs water and electrolytes from the remaining undigested food, forming feces.

5.

Glands in your mouth produce ______.
- Villi
- Spit
- Blood
- Saliva
Correct Answer(s)

A. Spit
A. Saliva

Explanation

The correct answer is saliva. Saliva is produced by the glands in your mouth. It helps in the process of digestion by moistening food, making it easier to swallow. Saliva also contains enzymes that begin the breakdown of carbohydrates in the food. Spit is another term for saliva, so both options are correct. Villi are small finger-like projections in the small intestine that aid in nutrient absorption, while blood is a fluid connective tissue that carries oxygen and nutrients throughout the body.

6.

Connective tissues that connect bones to muscles are _______.
- Ligaments
- Tendons
- Intestines
- Atoms
Correct Answer

A. Tendons

Explanation

Tendons are the correct answer because they are the connective tissues that connect bones to muscles. Ligaments, on the other hand, connect bones to other bones. Intestines and atoms are not connective tissues and do not have a role in connecting bones to muscles.

White blood cells are diverse and come in different types, each with specific functions in immune response. Their ability to engulf and destroy foreign invaders makes them essential in protecting the body from infections and maintaining overall health.
