a)

Frontal Lobe

b)

Occipital Lobe

c)

Temporal Lobe

d)

Parietal Lobe

2.

What do all four lobes make up?

a)

Brain Stem

b)

Cerebellum

c)

Cerebrum

d)

Pons

3.

What part of the brain is label A?

a)

Brain Stem

b)

Cerebellum

c)

Cerebrum

d)

Pons

4.

What part of the brain is labeled B?

a)

Brain Stem

b)

Cerebellum

c)

Cerebrum

d)

Pons

5.

How does exercise affect heart rate?

a)

Increases heart rate

b)

Decreases heart rate

c)

Causes heart rate to slow down

d)

Causes heart rate to fluctuate

6.

Atherosclerosis causes a build up of fat in the arteries. How is blood flow affected by this?

a)

Blood flow is increased due to widening of vessels

b)

Blood flow is decreased due to arteries being more open

c)

Blood flow is increased due to arteries becoming narrower

d)

Blood flow is decreased because the arteries are narrower

7.

Dehydration causes water to leave the blood plasma. What affect would dehydration have on blood pressure?

a)

Increase because the percent of salt decreases

b)

Increase because resistance of blood vessels decreases as they relax

c)

Decrease because concentration of oxygen goes down

d)

Decrease because blood volume would be decreased

8.

Smoking tobacco is harmful to the body in many ways, including damaging the blood vessels lining and increasing blood viscosity. This results in increased risk of deadly blood clots and heart attacks. Why does smoking increase these risks?

a)

Causes increased resistance against blood flow. Increased resistance decreases flood flow.

b)

Blood clots reduce blood pressure and thus makes the heart work harder

c)

Damage to the lining causes salt to leak through which increases the salinity. This reduces blood viscosity.

d)

Damaged blood vessels do not allow cholesterol to heal blood clots.

9.

High blood sugar is a result of insulin being released into the body. How would high blood sugar become an issue?

a)

High blood sugar decreases blood viscosity, decreasing blood flow.

b)

High blood sugar decreases blood volume, increasing blood flow.

c)

High blood sugar increases blood viscosity, decreasing blood flow.

d)

High blood sugar increases blood volume, increasing blood flow.

10.

A student's resting heart rate is 70 bpm. After running up and down the stairs, their heart rate is 155. Which statement best describes how this change affects the student's cardiovascular system?

a)

Thickness of the blood increases

b)

Blood flow through the body increases

c)

Blood pressure decresases

d)

Diameter of the blood vessels decreases

11.

Which describes the specific immune response in which a protein is attached to the pathogen to tag it for destruction?

a)

antibody

b)

histamine

c)

interferon

d)

macrophage

12.

Josie was sick with a fever caused by the common influenza virus. At the doctor, she asked for antibiotics. The doctor said it would not work on the sickness. Why would antibiotics be ineffective?

a)

Antibiotics interfere with the immune systems specific response

b)

Antibiotics eliminate the immune systems nonspecific response

c)

Antibiotics are only affective on bacteria, not viruses

d)

Antibiotics only prevent viral infections, not cure them

13.

Which best describes a nonspecific immune system response to a viral infection?

a)

T cells are produced to search out and destroy the viruses

b)

Memory B cells rapidly respond to an infection

c)

Plasma cells replicate & release antibodies

d)

Inflammation occurs in response to histamines being released.

14.

How do vaccines provide immunity?

a)

Cause the body to create a fever to kill pathogens

b)

Causes the body to go through a specific immune response which creates memory B cells to use in the future.

c)

It is a drug that kills bacteria and stops them from replicating

d)

It is a dose of histamine that triggers the inflammatory response

15.

Tiffany runs a lab test on a blood sample and finds that the patient has memory B cells against Salmonella. What can be confirmed from this?

a)

They are probably sick with salmonella

b)

They are able to spread Salmonella through physical contact

c)

They are likely going to develop Salmonella disease

d)

They are less likely to develop Salmonella a second time

16.

During the winter, a student becomes sick with the flu. Shortly after, the same student becomes sick with strep. Will the same type of B cells that fought the flu be able to fight strep?

a)

No. B cells fight viruses while T cells fight bacteria

b)

No. Each B cell is capable of recognizing one specific pathogen.

c)

Yes. B cells are nonspecific and can fight any pathogen they encounter.

d)

Yes. B cells recognize similar antigens such as bacterial and viral pathogens.

17.

Each year the CDC conducts research to see how effective the flu shot is against influenza. The CDC includes data from people who both received the vaccine and those who did not. Why would the include data from people who did not receive the vaccine?

a)

They make up the qualitative group while the vaccine data is the quantitative group.

b)

They could still get the vaccine if the CDC researchers need more data

c)

They represent the control group, showing what is normal without the vaccine to allow for comparison

d)

They are the independent variable because they did not receive the vaccine, while the people who did are the dependent variable.

18.

How does the placenta support the development of the growing fetus?

a)

Provides nutrients, such as food and oxygen, to the fetus

b)

Cushions and protects the delicate tissues of the fetuc

c)

Mixes the flood from the mother and the fetus

d)

Filters harmful substances out of the mothers blood before the blood passes to the fetus
