    What is # 11

    • Stoppers

    • Valves

    • Flappers

    • Flippers

    Correct Answer
    A. Valves
    Explanation
    Valves are devices used to control the flow of fluids or gases. They can open, close, or partially obstruct the passage of the fluid or gas through pipes or channels. In this context, the question is asking for the definition of "#11," and out of the given options, valves are the most relevant as they are commonly associated with controlling the flow of fluids or gases.

    Which of the following describes the movement of a ball-and-socket joint?

    • Can move in only one direction

    • Allows a small range of sideways movement

    • Can move up and down and from side to side

    • Can move in all directions

    Correct Answer
    A. Can move in all directions
    Explanation
    A ball-and-socket joint is a type of joint that allows movement in multiple directions. It consists of a rounded bone (the ball) that fits into a cup-like socket, allowing for a wide range of motion. This joint enables movement not only up and down and from side to side but also rotationally, making it capable of moving in all directions.

    What is #11? - ProProfs

    What is #11?

    • Fingers

    • Phalanges

    • Scapula

    • Tibia

    Correct Answer
    A. Phalanges
    Explanation
    The correct answer is Phalanges. Phalanges are the bones in the fingers and toes. They are long, slender bones that make up the digits of the hand and foot. The other options listed, such as scapula and tibia, are bones found in other parts of the body and are not directly related to the question of what #11 is.

    Which of the following exercises is best for increasing heart and lung endurance?

    • Push-Ups

    • Swimming

    • Weight Lifting

    • Stretching Exercises

    Correct Answer
    A. Swimming
    Explanation
    Swimming is the best exercise for increasing heart and lung endurance because it is a cardiovascular exercise that engages the entire body. It requires continuous movement and uses large muscle groups, which increases heart rate and oxygen intake. Swimming also provides resistance, making the heart and lungs work harder to supply oxygen to the muscles. Additionally, the buoyancy of water reduces impact on joints, making it suitable for people of all fitness levels. Overall, swimming is an excellent choice for improving cardiovascular fitness and endurance.

    Rate this question:

  • 6. 

    Bones do all of the following EXCEPT

    • Store calcium

    • Make new blood cells

    • Support the body frame

    • Supply oxygen to the blood

    Correct Answer
    A. Supply oxygen to the blood
    Explanation
    Bones are responsible for many functions in the body, including storing calcium, making new blood cells, and supporting the body frame. However, bones do not have the capability to supply oxygen to the blood. This task is performed by the respiratory system, specifically the lungs, where oxygen is taken in and transported to the blood through the process of respiration. Therefore, the correct answer is that bones do not supply oxygen to the blood.

    Look at the Diagram above.  What is Label #6? - ProProfs

    Look at the Diagram above.  What is Label #6?

    • Jaw

    • Mandible

    • Mouth Bone

    Correct Answer
    A. Mandible
    Explanation
    Label #6 in the diagram is the mandible. The mandible is commonly known as the jawbone and is the largest and strongest bone in the human face. It forms the lower jaw and plays a crucial role in various functions such as chewing, speaking, and facial expression.

    Rate this question:

  • 8. 

    Over half of the volume of blood is made up of

    • Plasma

    • Red blood cells

    • Platelets

    • White blood cells

    Correct Answer
    A. Plasma
    Explanation
    Plasma is the correct answer because it makes up over half of the volume of blood. Plasma is a yellowish fluid that carries various substances such as nutrients, hormones, waste products, and antibodies throughout the body. It also helps maintain blood pressure and plays a crucial role in clotting. While red blood cells, platelets, and white blood cells are all important components of blood, they do not make up the majority of its volume.

    Rate this question:

  • 9. 

    Blood does all of the following EXCEPT

    • Deliver oxygen to body parts

    • Remove carbon dioxide from the lungs

    • Deliver vitamins to cells

    • Promote healing by clotting at wounds

    Correct Answer
    A. Remove carbon dioxide from the lungs
    Explanation
    Blood performs several important functions in the body, including delivering oxygen to body parts, delivering vitamins to cells, and promoting healing by clotting at wounds. However, blood does not remove carbon dioxide from the lungs. This task is primarily carried out by the respiratory system, specifically the lungs, which expel carbon dioxide during exhalation.

    What is #12? - ProProfs

    What is #12?

    • Thigh Bone

    • Fibula

    • Tibia

    • Femur

    Correct Answer
    A. Femur
    Explanation
    The femur is the correct answer because it is commonly known as the thigh bone. It is the largest and strongest bone in the human body and is located in the upper leg. The fibula and tibia are also bones in the leg, but they are not commonly referred to as the thigh bone. Therefore, the femur is the most appropriate answer for the question.

    In pulmonary circulation, blood flows from the .....

    • Heart to the lungs to the heart

    • Lungs to the heart to the other organs

    • Lungs to the heart to the lungs

    • Body tissues to the lungs to the heart

    Correct Answer
    A. Heart to the lungs to the heart
    Explanation
    In pulmonary circulation, blood flows from the heart to the lungs to the heart. This is because the right side of the heart pumps deoxygenated blood to the lungs through the pulmonary artery. In the lungs, the blood picks up oxygen and releases carbon dioxide through the process of gas exchange. The oxygenated blood then returns to the left side of the heart through the pulmonary veins, completing the circulation.

    What is #1 - ProProfs

    What is #1

    • Cranium

    • Skull

    • Frontal Plate

    • Head

    Correct Answer
    A. Cranium
    Explanation
    The cranium is the correct answer because it refers to the part of the skull that encloses and protects the brain. It is made up of several bones and forms the top, back, and sides of the skull. The other options, such as skull, frontal plate, and head, are related to the cranium but do not specifically refer to the entire structure. Therefore, the cranium is the most accurate and specific answer in this context.

    What is Number 3? - ProProfs

    What is Number 3?

    • Brain Stem

    • Cord

    • Spinal Cord

    Correct Answer
    A. Spinal Cord
    Explanation
    The question is asking for the identification of "Number 3," and the correct answer is "Spinal Cord." This suggests that "Number 3" refers to the spinal cord. The other options, "Brain Stem" and "Cord," do not accurately correspond to the given answer.

    What is # 7

    • Right Ventricle

    • Right Atrium

    • Left Ventricle

    • Left Atrium

    Correct Answer
    A. Right Atrium
    Explanation
    The correct answer is the Right Atrium. The question is asking about "What is #7," and the options provided are different parts of the heart. Out of the given options, the Right Atrium is the only one that corresponds to the number 7.

    Which of the following is an accurate statement about the way muscles work?

    • Pairs of skeletal muscles work in opposition to move bones.

    • Involuntary muscles work in sets, while voluntary muscles work independently.

    • Each muscle is responsible for moving several bones.

    • Muscles from different parts of the body pull together to create movement.

    Correct Answer
    A. Pairs of skeletal muscles work in opposition to move bones.
    Explanation
    Pairs of skeletal muscles work in opposition to move bones. This statement accurately describes the way muscles work. Skeletal muscles are attached to bones by tendons and work in pairs called antagonistic pairs. When one muscle in the pair contracts, the other muscle relaxes, allowing movement to occur. This opposing action is what enables the movement of bones in our body.
