B. From atrium to ventricle within the heart.
C. Between the heart and the rest of the body.
D. Between the atria in the heart..
Answer: C. The two valves connect the heart to the pulmonary artery and
the aorta, which carry blood from the heart to the rest of the body.
◍ Of the following processes, which one is a different level of defense from
the others?
A. A low pH in the stomach
B. Cilia present in the trachea
C. Body cells recognizing a pathogen
, D. Mucus present in the nasal cavity.
Answer: C. A low pH in the stomach (choice A), cilia in the trachea (choice
B), and mucus (D) are primary defenses. Cells recognizing a pathogen
(choice C) is a third line of defense.
◍ Which of the following are tropic hormones? (select all that apply.)
A. Somatotropin.
B. Follicle-stimulating hormone.
C. Antidiuretic hormone.
D. Thyroid-stimulating hormone..
Answer: A, B, D.
◍ Which part of the nervous system includes the femoral , radial, and ulnar
nerves?
A. Somatic
B. Autonomic
C. Sympathetic
D. Parasympathetic.
Answer: A. The symphathetic and parasympathetic systems (choice C and
D) are part of the autonomic nervous system (choice B), which controls
involuntary actions of the smooth muscles, glands, and heart. The somatic
nervous system (choice A) has to do with reception of external stimuli and
voluntary control of the muscles.
◍ What is the name of the bone in the human thigh?
A. Ulna
B. Femur
C. Radius
D. Humerus.
Answer: B. The ulna (choice A), radius (choice C), and humerus (choice D)
