Which is an anterior muscle?
A. Gluteus maximus
B. Quadriceps femoris
C. Biceps femoris
D. Adductor magnus VERIFIED ANSWER B. An anterior muscle is
located near the front of the body. Of those listed, the quadriceps( frontal
thigh muscle) is the most anterior.
How might the headrest on a car prevent traumatic injury?
A. By limiting hyperflexion of the neck
B. By limiting hyperextension of the neck
C. By reducing vertebral compression
D. By preventing disc degeneration VERIFIED ANSWER B. The
headrest prevents the head from moving too far backward, or
hyperextending the neck beyond its normal range.
Which might you expect to see in a whiplash injury?
A. Cardiopulmonary problems
B. Side-to-side spinal curvature
C. Eventual herniation of discs
D. Traumatic injury to ligaments VERIFIED ANSWER D. Because of
the hyperflexion and hyperextension caused by such a collision, it is not
,uncommon to find tears or stretching of the ligaments of the spine. The
injury is front-to-back, making choice B unlikely, and a herniated disc
(choice C) is more of a compression injury.
Muscle contractions that normally move food along the human digestive
system are known as ________.
A. defecation
B. osmosis
C. peristalsis
D. circulation VERIFIED ANSWER C. Defecation(choice A) is the
elimination of waste. Osmosis (choice B) is the movement of molecules
across a membrane. Circulation (choice D) is the movement of blood
through the body. Peristalsis (choice C) is the involuntary, wavelike
movement of muscles in the intestine and elsewhere that pushes food
along.
Which type of nutrient does not provide the body with energy?
A. Vitamin
B. Carbohydrate
C. Fat
D. Protein VERIFIED ANSWER A. Some nutrients supply energy, and
others support metabolism. Nutrients in the first set include
carbohydrates, proteins, and fats. Those in the secound set include
vitamins, minerals, and water.
Where would you be likely to find a Schwann cell?
,A. In the digestive system
B. In the nervous system
C. In the skeletal system
D. In the muscular system VERIFIED ANSWER B. Schwann cells
wrap around the nerve fibers and form the myelin sheath in the
peripheral nervous system.
How does the nervous system work with the muscular system?
A. The muscles of the body produce chemicals that feed the nerves.
B. The nervous system tells the muscles how to respond to the
environment.
C. The nervous system releases chemicals that remove excess waste
from the muscles.
D. The muscular system provides input that allows the nerves to make
decisions. VERIFIED ANSWER B. The nervous system is made up of
the brain, spinal cord, and nerves. It receives and transmits signals from
the environment that regulate voluntary and involuntary movement.
Which part of the nervous system includes the femoral , radial, and ulnar
nerves?
A. Somatic
B. Autonomic
C. Sympathetic
D. Parasympathetic VERIFIED 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.
Where might a herniated lumbar disc be most likely to create pain?
A. Along the radial nerve
B. Within the spinal cord
C. Along the sciatic nerve
D. Along the tibial nerve VERIFIED ANSWER C. Damage to a disc in
the lower back will most likely cause pain radiating downward along the
sciatic nerve.
What is the name of the bone in the human thigh?
A. Ulna
B. Femur
C. Radius
D. Humerus VERIFIED ANSWER B. The ulna (choice A), radius
(choice C), and humerus (choice D) are arm bones.
The ovaries are part of the ___________.
A. skeletal system
B. nervous system
