TEAS Science Practice Test
Which occurs at the beginning of systole with a healthy heart? - correct answer During systole of a
healthy heart, the ventricles contract, moving blood from the ventricles to the aorta and the
pulmonary artery.
Which is a structure of the inner ear? - correct answer Cochlea
Which is the site of gas exchange? - correct answer The alveoli are the structures of the respiratory
system where gas exchange occurs.
Bile aids in the digestion of what? - correct answer fat
What is the average length of a female urethra - correct answer 1 to 1.5
What attached muscle to bone? - correct answer Tendons are strong fibrous connective tissues
that attach muscles to bones.
What attaches bone to bone? - correct answer ligaments
Which of the following antibodies mediates against allergens? - correct answer Antibody type IgE
mediates the body's response to an allergen.
Where are nutrients absorbed when transported into a blood stream? - correct answer The small
intestine has three functions: peristalsis, digestion, and absorption of nutrients into the
bloodstream. The small intestine transports nutrients either to the liver or target cells, where the
nutrients are metabolized.
The pancreas is not where nutrients are absorbed into the bloodstream. The pancreas produces
glucogon and insulin to regulate metabolism.
The gallbladder is not where nutrients are absorbed into the bloodstream. The gallbladder stores
and releases bile when fat is in the duodenum.
, The stomach is not where nutrients are absorbed into the bloodstream. The digestion of food begins
in the stomach.
Blood cells are produced by which? - correct answer Red Bone Marrow
Which of the following is the function of surfactant in alveoli of the lungs? - correct answer
Surfactant prevents the collapse of alveoli in the lungs by reducing surface tension in the alveoli.
Surfactant prevents the collapse of alveoli in the lungs by reducing surface tension in the alveoli.
Surfactant reduces the surface tension of the alveoli.
Although oxygen uptake occurs in the alveoli, oxygen uptake is not a function of surfactant.
Which of the following is associated with wound healing by primary intention? - correct answer
Minimal scar tissue is associated with wound healing by primary intention.
In the process of wound healing which plays a role in clearing a wound of cellular debris? - correct
answer Neutrophils are key in the process of phagocytosis, which is the process of clearing a wound
of cellular debris.
Which of the following hormones or enzymes is involved in fluid balance and produced by the
kidney. - correct answer Renin
Renin is an enzyme that is produced by the kidneys and plays a role in the regulation of fluid volume
and blood pressure.
Aldosterone is not produced by the kidneys.
Antidiuretic hormone is not produced by the kidneys.
Angiotensin I is not produced by the kidneys.
