Complete the University of Phoenix Material: Week Two Knowledge Check

1.

Identify a type of connective tissue that is composed of a variety of cells and has a fluid-like component called plasma.

Blood

Lymph

Urine

Serotonin

2.

Which of the following statements is true of blood vessels?

The blood vessels that carry blood back to the heart are called arteries.

At the cellular level, the exchange of gases takes place in the capillaries.

The largest of the veins in the cardiovascular system are called venules.

3.

Identify a difference between veins and arteries.

There are a greater number of arteries in the cardiovascular system than veins.

The walls of the veins are thinner than those of the arteries.

Veins transport blood under a higher pressure than do arteries.

The capacity of arteries to hold blood is much greater than that of veins.

4.

Which of the following is responsible for converting the fibrinogen dissolved in the blood into fibrin during the process of blood coagulation?

Troponin I

Vitamin K

Thromboplastin

Thrombin

 

5.

Identify an accurate statement about the structure of the human heart.

The base of the heart is more proximal to the head than the apex of the heart.

The upper chambers of the heart are called ventricles.

The heart is located right below the diaphragm.

6.

Saul is rushed to the hospital after losing control at the wheel and crashing his car into a tree. His sister, Adiela, arrives at the hospital on hearing the news of the accident. The doctors ask Adiela her blood type as Saul is in need of an immediate blood transfusion. Saul’s blood type is AB-positive and Adiela claims that her blood type is A-positive. The doctors decide to proceed with the blood transfusion using Adiela’s blood. Why have the doctors agreed on using Adiela’s blood for the transfusion?

Because Saul’s blood plasma contains anti-A antibodies

Because Saul’s blood plasma contains neither A nor B antibodies

Because Adiela’s blood plasma does not contain anti-B antibodies

Because Adiela’s blood plasma contains both A and B antibodies

7.

What is the name given to the condition that arises due to the abnormal conduction or generation of electrical impulses in the heart?

Arrhythmia

Myocardial infarction

Peripheral vascular disease

Endocarditis

8.

Identify an accurate statement about right-sided heart failure.

This condition is a result of the muscles on the left side of the heart becoming too large to pump blood efficiently.

People suffering from this condition generally have extended neck veins.

This condition does not affect the size of the liver or spleen.

People suffering from this condition are less likely than others to be diagnosed with lung diseases.

9.

Eric has been diagnosed with a potentially life-threatening heart condition. Prior to diagnosis, Eric’s doctor, Ricardo, observed that the damaged muscle fibers in the left ventricle of Eric’s heart were having an adverse effect on its pumping efficiency. He also noticed that this decreased pumping efficiency was responsible for a buildup of vascular pressure and a subsequent leakage of fluid from the blood vessels into the surrounding lung tissue. Based on the information provided in this scenario, determine the disease from which Eric is suffering.

Congestive heart failure

Endocarditis

Arteriosclerosis

Cardiac tamponade

10.

Identify the blood condition in which there is a less than normal number of circulating red blood cells and abnormal or deficient hemoglobin.

Anemia

Polycythemia

Thrombocytopenia

Hematoma

11.

Identify an accurate statement about clotting disorders.

Thrombocytopenia is a condition that develops due to an abnormally high platelet count.

Coronary thrombosis can partially or totally block blood flow to a portion of the heart.

Hemophilia is a condition that is characterized by the unwanted formation of clots.

Coronary thrombosis does not increase an individual’s susceptibility to heart attacks.

12.

Chris, a diabetic, often complains of experiencing cramping in his legs whenever he engages in activities that involve a considerable amount of physical exertion. He experiences relief only when he rests his legs. On examination, Chris’s doctor, Harry, observes that the cramping is a result of insufficient blood supply to the legs. He suspects a buildup of plaque in the arteries in Chris’s legs. What is the most probable diagnosis of Chris’s condition?

Peripheral vascular disease

Hematoma

Aneurysm

Thrombocytopenia

13.

Which of the following statements is true about angiography?

The blood vessels can be clearly observed in an angiographic x-ray.

The process of performing an angiogram does not involve the use of radiocontrast agents.

An angiogram is most commonly used to visualize the blood flow in the coronary arteries.

An angiogram cannot be used to detect blood vessel problems.

14.

In an electrocardiogram, what does the P wave represent?

It represents the depolarization of the atria right before they contract.

It represents the depolarization of the ventricles right before they contract.

It represents the repolarization of the atria when they are at rest before the next contraction.

It represents the repolarization of the ventricles when they are at rest before the next contraction.

15.

Dr. Gerome wants to record his patient’s blood pressure. He places an inflatable cuff around his patient’s arm and a stethoscope over the brachial artery. While inflating the cuff, he listens to the pulse using the stethoscope. He stops inflating the cuff when the pressure rises to about 30 millimeters of mercury and when he can no longer hear the pulse. Then, he releases the valve to allow the cuff to slowly deflate and listens to the brachial artery. He starts hearing the pulse again. As the cuff pressure drops, the sound of the pulse decreases and then disappears. At this point, which of the following is true?

At this point, the cuff pressure is equivalent to the arterial pressure when the heart is in diastole.

At this point, the cuff pressure is equivalent to the arterial pressure when the heart contracts.

After this point, the actual systolic BP can be recorded.

Before this point, the actual diastolic BP can be recorded.

1.

Which gas is necessary for the body to generate energy from glucose?

Oxygen

Carbon dioxide

Nitrogen

Argon

2.

In the context of the respiratory system, which of the following statements is true?

The respiratory system is not associated with the heart and circulatory system.

The respiratory system’s primary role is to remove excess oxygen from the body.

The respiratory system carries carbon dioxide from the lungs to the body cells.

The respiratory system is primarily responsible for bringing oxygen into the bloodstream from the atmosphere.

3.

Which of the following is a difference between ventilation and respiration?

Ventilation is the movement of air into and out of the lungs, whereas respiration is the process of gas exchange.

Ventilation includes both the processes of internal and external respiration, whereas respiration only refers to the process of internal respiration.

Ventilation is the process by which oxygen is added to and carbon dioxide is removed from the blood, whereas respiration does not involve any gas exchange.

Ventilation refers to the process of breathing out, whereas respiration refers to the process of breathing in.

4.

What kind of cells in the epithelium layer line the nose and most of the airways of the upper respiratory tract?

Transitional epithelium

Stratified cuboidal epithelium

Pseudostratified ciliated columnar epithelium

Non-ciliated pseudostratified columnar epithelium

5.

Identify an accurate statement about the upper airway of the respiratory tract.

The upper airway begins at the nose and ends at the bronchioles.

The pharynx is not part of the upper airway of the respiratory tract.

The upper airway reduces the humidity of inspired gases.

The vocal cords mark the end of the upper airway of the respiratory tract.

6.

John is suffering from a respiratory condition that makes it difficult for him to breathe. On being admitted to the hospital, his doctors decide to proceed with endotracheal intubation to help him breathe. In the context of the anatomical structure of the tracheobronchial tree, which of the following statements is true?

The proper placement of the tube is easy because there is no difference in the angle of branching between the two sides of the tracheobronchial tree.

The left mainstem branches off at a 20-30 degree angle from the midline of the chest, so the tube is more likely to pass into the left lung.

The right mainstem branches off at a 40-60 degree angle from the midline of the chest, so the tube is more likely to enter the left lung.

The tube should be placed in such a way that it sits just above the carina for proper ventilation to take place.

7.

What substance, when released, causes the nasal mucosa to secrete excessive mucus in allergic rhinitis?

Serotonin

Adrenaline

Noradrenaline

Histamine

8.

Identify an accurate statement about pleural space problems.

A pneumothorax is a condition that is characterized by the buildup of pus in the pleural cavity.

An empyema is a condition in which there is an excessive buildup of blood in the pleural cavity.

A hydrothorax refers to the buildup of blood serum in the space between the parietal and visceral pleura.

A hemothorax refers to the buildup of air inside the thoracic cavity, but outside the lungs.

9.

Since the age of five, John has been experiencing repeated episodes of wheezing, breathlessness, chest tightness, and cough. These symptoms are usually triggered by dust, pollen, or intense physical activity and occur particularly at night and early in the morning. During these periods, John finds it difficult to inhale and even more difficult to exhale. These episodes usually resolve on their own, but have now increased in severity and require medication. Based on the information provided in this scenario, from what condition is John most likely suffering?

Allergic rhinitis

Sinusitis

Asthma

Tuberculosis

10.

What lung volume measurement is best described as the amount of air that moves into or out of the lungs at rest during a single breath?

Tidal volume (VT)is the volume of air forcefully inspired beyond a normal inspiration.

Residual volume (RV) is the amount of gas that moves into and out of the lungs at rest during a single breath.

Functional residual capacity (FRC) is equal to the sum of inspiratory reserve volume and tidal volume.

Expiratory reserve volume (ERV) refers to the amount of gas that is forcefully exhaled beyond a normal expiration.

12.

Jacob is an asthmatic patient. His condition has been increasing in severity in spite of medical treatment. To monitor his condition, Jacob’s doctor advises Jacob to undergo pulmonary function testing. When Jacob is made to undergo the peak expiratory flow rate (PEFR) test, which of the following is most likely to happen?

The doctor will try to decipher whether the airways have become broader than normal.

Jamie teaches human physiology at Cetrialwood University. To explain the organs involved in urine formation, he makes use of a structural model of the human urinary system. The model includes two bean-shaped organs, one positioned on the upper left-hand side and the other positioned on the upper right-hand side of an expandable, hollow sac. Here, each organ is connected to the sac by a tube of smooth muscle. The bottom of the sac opens out into a thin, muscular tube. After explaining all the parts of the model and their functions, Jamie asks his students to match the organs to their respective functions. Given below are some of the answers his students give him. Choose the most accurate one from the following.

The ureter is the expandable sac that stores urine.

The urethra is the thin muscular tube that transports urine from the kidneys to the urinary bladder.

The kidneys are the bean-shaped organs that filter blood to make urine.

The urinary bladder is the tubular structure that transports urine out of the body.

4.

Select an accurate statement about the anatomy of the kidney.

The innermost region of the kidney is called the renal cortex.

The renal medulla is the region of the kidney where the blood is actually filtered.

The blood vessels that bring blood into the kidneys for filtration are the renal veins.

The fibrous covering of connective tissue that surrounds the kidney is called the renal capsule.

5.

Mariah uses a model of a nephron to explain a certain step in urine formation in human beings. She points to the model and explains how blood flowing through the glomerulus is pushed into the Bowman’s capsule.
