147 QUESTIONS WITH VERIFIED ACCURATE RATIONALES
1. Explain the significance of the brain reaching 90% of its adult size by age 7
in terms of cognitive development.
It indicates that most physical growth has occurred.
It suggests that the brain is fully developed and no further growth
will happen.
It reflects the rapid cognitive and neural development that occurs
during early childhood.
It means that the brain will begin to shrink after this age.
2. What is a fracture caused by repetitive low-impact forces, such as running
called?
open fracture
stress fracture
transverse fracture
spiral fracture

6. If a surgeon is performing an operation on the left lung and makes an
incision along a parasagittal plane, what can be inferred about the position

The incision is made to the left of the midline, affecting only the
left lung.
The incision is made to the right of the midline, affecting only the
right lung.
The incision is made at an angle, affecting both lungs equally.
, 7. Chemical messengers of the endocrine system that are released into the
blood are known as
