◍ 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 esophagus 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).
◍ It was hoped that the lines for the roller coaster would be shorter in the
afternoon. Which of the following changes the sentence above so that it is
written in the active rather than in the passive voice?a. In the afternoon, it
was hoped that the lines would be shorter.b. She hoped that the lines for the
roller coaster would be shorter in the afternoon. c. It was expected that the
lines for the roller coaster would be shorter in the afternoon. d. It was hoped
by her that the lines for the roller coaster would be shorter in the afternoon..
Answer: b.
◍ 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 cartilage. -
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 includes
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 outside of the internal
organs.
◍ 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 cuboidal.
◍ 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 posterior aspect. - 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.
