What is the name of the structure that prevents food from entering the airway?
a) trachea
b) esophagus
c) diagram
d) epiglottis
(Test 1
) ANS - d) epiglottis
"the epiglottis covers the trachea during swallowing, thus preventing food from
entering the airway"
?= aka the windpipe
- is a cylindrical portion of the respiratory tract that joins the larynx with the lungs
(Test 1)
ANS - Trachea
?= connects the throat to the stomach
- when someone swallows, this contracts to force the food down into the stomach
- like other structures in the respiratory system, this structure secretes mucus for
lubrication
(Test 1)
ANS - Esophagus
Which substance makes up the pads that provide support between the vertebrae?
Where is the parathyroid gland located?
a) bone
b) cartilage
c) tendon
d) fat
(Test 1)
ANS - b) cartilage
a) neck b) back
c) side
d) brain
(Test 1)
ANS - a) neck
Which element w/in the respiratory system is responsible for removing foreign matter
from the lungs?
a) bronchial tubes
b) cilia
c) trachea
d) alveoli
(Test 1)
ANS - b) cilia
(READ STARRED BULLET POINT****)
- the cilia are the tiny hairs in the respiratory system that are responsible for
removing foreign matter from the lungs
**the cilia are located within the BRONCHIAL TUES, BUT it is the cilia that have the
responsibility for removing inappropriate materials b4 they enter the lungs**
Organized from high to low, the hierarchy of the human body's structure is as
follows:
organism, organ system, organs, tissues
Which of the following comes next?
a) molecules
b) atoms
c) cells
d) muscle
(Test 1)
ANS - d) cells
after cells comes molecules & then atoms
On average, how many neutrons does one atom of bromine (Br) have?
NOTE:
- atomic #= 35
- atomic mass= 79.9
a) 35
b) 44.90
c) 45
d) 79.90
(Test 1)
ANS - b) 44.90
to determine the number of neutrons (n), subtract the atomic number (35) from the
atomic mass (79.9)
79.9 - 35 = 44.90
On average, how many protons does one atom of zinc (Zn) have?
NOTE:
- atomic # = 30
- atomic mass = 65.39
a) 30 b) 35
c) 35.39
d) 65.39
(Test 1)
ANS - a) 30
- The number of protons is the atomic number
