(Answered) Teas 7 science Solutions Exam Bank questions
Updated fall 2022.
1. What is the name of the structure that prevents food from entering the
airway?
a) trachea
b) esophagus
c) diagram
d) epiglottis
(Test 1): d) epiglottis
"the epiglottis covers the trachea during swallowing, thus preventing food from
entering the airway"
2. ?= aka the windpipe
- is a cylindrical portion of the respiratory tract that joins the larynx with the
lungs
(Test 1): Trachea
3. ?= connects the throat to the stomach
- when someone swallows, this contracts to force the food down into the
stomach
- like other structures in the respiratory system, this structure secretes
mucus for lubrication
(Test 1): Esophagus
4. Which substance makes up the pads that provide support between the
vertebrae?
a) bone
b) cartilage
c) tendon
d) fat
(Test 1): b) cartilage
5. Where is the parathyroid gland located?
,a) neck
b) back
c) side
d) brain
(Test 1): a) neck
,6. Which element w/in the respiratory system is responsible for removing
foreign matter from the lungs?
a) bronchial tubes
b) cilia
c) trachea
d) alveoli
(Test 1): b) cilia
(READ STARRED BULLET POINT****)
- the cilia are the tiny hairs in the respiratory system that are responsible for
removing foreign matter from the lungs
**the cilia are located within the BRONCHIAL TUES, BUT it is the cilia that have
the responsibility for removing inappropriate materials b4 they enter the lungs**
7. Organized from high to low, the hierarchy of the human body's structure
is as follows:
organism, organ system, organs, tissues
Which of the following comes next?
a) molecules
b) atoms
c) cells
d) muscle
(Test 1): d) cells
after cells comes molecules & then atoms
8. On average, how many neutrons does one atom of bromine (Br) have?
NOTE:
- atomic #= 35
- atomic mass= 79.9
a) 35
b) 44.90
c) 45
d) 79.90
(Test 1): b) 44.90
to determine the number of neutrons (n), subtract the atomic number (35) from the
atomic mass (79.9)

79.9 - 35 = 44.90
9. On average, how many protons does one atom of zinc (Zn) have?
NOTE:
- atomic # = 30
- atomic mass = 65.39
a) 30
b) 35
c) 35.39
d) 65.39
(Test 1): a) 30
- The number of protons is the atomic number
- The number of protons is the same for every atom of a given element
10. What is the name of the process in the lungs by which oxygen is trans-
ported from the air to the blood?
a) osmosis
b) diffusion
c) dissipation
d) reverse osmosis
(Test 1): b) diffusion
cannot be osmosis- osmosis is the movement of a solution from an area of low
conc to an area of higher conc through a permeable membrane
cannot be dissipation- dissipation is any wasteful consumption or use
cannot be reverse osmosis- a process for purifying a solution by forcing it through
a membrane that blocks only certain pollutants
11. Which gland is responsible for the regulation of calcium levels?
a) parathyroid glands
b) thyroid glands
c) adrenal glands
d) pancreas
(Test 1): a) parathyroid glands
