Which of the following is FALSE regarding the use of qualitative and quantitative data in sci-
entific research?
A. Quantitative data is collected through numerical measurements.
B. Quantitative data is more accurate than qualitative data.
C. Qualitative data is focused on perspectives and behavior.
D. Qualitative data is collected through observation and interviews. - ANSWER B. Quanti-
tative data is more accurate than qualitative data.
The two types of measurement important in science are qualitative (When a numerical re-
sult is used) and qualitative (when descriptions or qualities are reported).
- Qualitative data is collected through observation and interviews, and focuses on the in-
formant's behavior and perspectives.
The first four steps on the scientific method are as follows:
I. Identify the problem.
II. Ask questions.
III. Develop a hypothesis.
Iv. Collect data and experiment on that data.
Which of the following is the fifth step in the scientific method?
A. Observe the data.
B. Analyze the results.
C. Measure the data.
D. Develop a conclusion. - ANSWER B. Analyze the results.

,- There are six steps in the scientific process. The results of step four must be analyzed be-
fore reaching the final step. "Develop a conclusion."
Which of the following is an example of the location and function of cartilage int he body?
A. The dense connective tissue that comprises the better part of the structural skeleton.
B. The supportive pads that provide cushion at joints, such as between the vertebrae of the
spinal cord.
C. The connective structure made of fibrous collagen that connects muscles and bones, such
as the connection of the patella to the quadricep.
D. The layer beneath the skin and on the outside of internal organs that provides cushioning
and protection. - ANSWER B. The pads that support the vertebrae are made up of carti-
lage.
- Cartilage, a strong form of connective tissue, cushions ad supports the joints. Cartilage also
makes up the larynx and the outer ear.
- Bone is a form of connective tissue that comprises the better part of the skeleton. It in-
cludes both organic and inorganic substances.
- Tendons connect the muscles to other structures of the body, typically bones. Tendons can
increase and decrease in length as the bones move.
- Fat is a combination of lipids; in humans, fat forms a layer beneath the skin and on the out-
side of the internal organs.
Which of the following statements correctly describes the function of the corresponding
physiologic structure?
A. The trachea connects the throat and the stomach, encouraging food to follow this path
through contractions.
B. The esophagus is the cylindrical portion of the respiratory tract that joins the larynx with
the lungs.
C. the diaphragm is a muscle that controls the height of the thoracic cavity, decreasing the
height on contraction, and increasing the height on relaxation causing expiration.

,D. The epiglottis covers the trachea during swallowing, preventing food from entering the
airway. - ANSWER D. The epiglottis covers the trachea during swelling, thus preventing
food from entering the airway.
- The trachea (windpipe) is cylindrical portion of the reparatory tract that joins the larynx
with the lungs.
- The esophagus connects the throat and the stomach. When a person swallows, the esoph-
agus contracts to force the food down into the stomach. The esophagus secretes mucus for
lubrication.
- The diaphragm is a muscle that controls the height of the thoracic cavity, increasing the
height on contraction (inspiration), and decreasing the height on relaxation (expiration).
Two criteria for classifying epithelial tissue are:
A. Cell type and cell function
B. Cell shape and cell type
C. Cell layers and cell shape
D. Cell function and cell layers - ANSWER C. Cell layers and cell shape are the criteria for
classifying epithelial tissue.
- Cell layers refers to the amount of cells that separate the basement membrane from the
surface, such as a simple single layer, a stratified layer (2 or more), or a pseudostratfied layer.
- Cell shapes refer to the shape of the outer cells and can be squamous, columnar or cu-
boidal.
Where is the parathyroid gland located?
A. On the lateral lobes of the thyroid gland, on the posterior aspect.
B. On the pyramidal lobe of the thyroid gland, on the posterior aspect.
C. On the lateral thyroid gland, on the anterior aspect.
D. On the left lateral lobe of the thyroid gland, on the anterior aspect. - ANSWER A. The
parathyroid gland is located on the lateral lobes of the thyroid gland in the neck, on the pos-
terior aspect.
3
, - It is part of the endocrine system.
- When the supply of calcium in blood diminishes to unhealthy levels, the parathyroid gland
motivates the secretion of a hormone that encourages the bones to release calcium into the
bloodstream. The parathyroid Gand also regulates the amount of phosphate in the blood by
stimulating the excretion of phosphates in the urine.

matter from the lungs?
A. Bronchial tubes
B. Cilia
C. Trachea
