Which of the following is a way that the skeletal system is necessary for the muscular system's function?
the skeletal system has joints, which are what the muscular system pulls on to move
the skeletal system provides structure for the muscular system
the skeletal system provides calcium, which the muscles require along with ATP to contract
all of the above
The muscular system interacts with the skeletal system by:
smooth muscles are joined with spongy bone via cartilage
skeletal muscles pull on joints to permit movement
cardiac muscle is connected to the ribs
skeletal muscles are joined to one another via ligaments

A 3 month old baby contracts a virus called whooping cough (pertussis) after receiving the first of a sequence of 3 necessary DPT vaccines designed to prevent 3 diseases (diphtheria, pertussis, and tetanus). The vaccines are given at 2, 4, and 6 months of age to allow the body to develop specific immunity against these diseases. After the infant recovered from the disease, the doctor informed the parents that from now on the infant would only need the DT (diphtheria, tetanus) part of the vaccine. Why does the infant only need the DT vaccine?
The infant had the first of a series of vaccines which caused the disease
The infant had the pertussis disease and has already produced antibodies against the disease.
The infant had the first of a series of vaccines which protected him from getting the disease.
The infant had the pertussis disease and will get diphtheria in the future.
Many times people visit the doctor requesting antibiotics to treat colds and viral infections. How is the doctor justified in offering the patient treatment options that do not include antibiotics for these cases?
Colds and viruses should be first treated with viral therapies and then when the body begins to recover, antibiotics can be used. Otherwise, the use of antibiotics is not effective at all.
Side effects from antibiotics are severe when used for colds and viruses. Any use of antibiotics for colds and viruses will only make the patient more ill and ultimately make the patient's recovery time longer.
Antibiotics can weaken the immune system when used for colds and viruses, whereas other medications are not so hard on the immune system during these types of illnesses.
If a doctor provides an antibiotic to treat colds and viruses, any bacteria in the patient's body will be killed, but a few will survive. Those few survivors may become resistant to antibiotics needed for real bacterial illnesses.
What is the body's first line (non-specific) of defense against infection by foreign organisms?
antibodies
lymph nodes
white blood cells
the skin
Although vaccines cannot be used to treat a person who is sick, they can help to prevent infections. Vaccinations tell the body to create "memory cells", which will function later to create antibodies against certain pathogens. When a person is vaccinated, what are they injected with?
antibodies to a disease bacterium
live, inactive viruses
weakened viruses or antigens from the virus
blood from a person who has had the disease
Which of the following describes a way that a person's health can be affected by heredity?
A person with a family history of obesity is more likely to catch a common cold.
A person with a family history of high blood pressure is more likely to have heart disease.
A person with a family history of obesity is less likely to enroll in a weight loss plan.
A person with a family history of cancer is less likely to be screened for cancer.
Many species of bacteria have become resistant to antibiotics because antibiotics have been so widely used. Now, bacteria that used to be killed by antibiotics are more difficult to treat. What is the best way to proceed in dealing with this public health problem?
Antibiotics should no longer be used.
Antibiotics should be made available to anyone without a prescription.
Antibiotics should only be prescribed to people with bacterial infections.
Anti-viral medications should now be used instead of antibiotics.
The four main types of pathogens (germs) are:
Viruses, bacteria, parasites, and fungi
Viruses, parasites, fungi, and phagocytes
Parasites, bacteria, lymphocytes, and fungi
Small, medium, large, and extra large
