1. Macromolecules are built of?

• A. Monomers
• B. Incorrect
• C. Not Applicable
• D. None of the above

Correct answer: A

Rationale: The correct answer is A: Monomers. Macromolecules are built from smaller subunits called monomers. Monomers join together through chemical reactions to form larger molecules known as macromolecules. Option B is incorrect as it does not provide the accurate information regarding the composition of macromolecules. Option C is not applicable as it does not offer a relevant choice. Option D is incorrect because there is a specific answer related to the composition of macromolecules.

2. Is the parietal pericardium attached to the surface of the heart?

• A. TRUE
• B. FALSE
• C. Not Sure
• D. None of the above

Correct answer: A

Rationale: The parietal pericardium is a tough, fibrous outer layer that is attached to the diaphragm and the sternum but not directly to the surface of the heart. It forms a sac around the heart known as the pericardial sac. Therefore, the statement that the parietal pericardium is attached to the surface of the heart is false.

3. Which of the following is a result of stimulation of the sympathetic nervous system?

• A. decreased blood flow to the skeletal muscles
• B. increased cardiac output
• C. decreased respiratory rate
• D. increased urinary output

Correct answer: B

Rationale: Stimulation of the sympathetic nervous system leads to an increase in cardiac output. When the sympathetic nervous system is activated, it causes the heart to beat faster and with more force, leading to an increased cardiac output. Choices A, C, and D are incorrect because the sympathetic nervous system does not cause decreased blood flow to the skeletal muscles, decreased respiratory rate, or increased urinary output.

4. Is the elbow distal to the wrist?

• A. TRUE
• B. FALSE
• C. Not Sure
• D. None of the above

Correct answer: B

Rationale: The correct answer is False. In anatomical terms, 'distal' means farther away from the center of the body or the point of attachment. The elbow is proximal to the wrist because it is closer to the center of the body. Therefore, the statement that the elbow is distal to the wrist is incorrect. Choice A is incorrect because the elbow is not distal to the wrist. Choice C is incorrect as the anatomical relationship between the elbow and wrist can be determined. Choice D is incorrect as there is a definitive answer to this anatomical question.

5. What does magnetic resonance imaging use?

• A. X-rays.
• B. a radio antenna.
• C. radioisotopes.
• D. high-frequency sound waves.

Correct answer: D

Rationale: Magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) uses high-frequency sound waves to create detailed images of the inside of the body. X-rays (Choice A) use electromagnetic radiation, not sound waves, making it an incorrect choice. A radio antenna (Choice B) is used for communication, not for MRI imaging. Radioisotopes (Choice C) are used in nuclear medicine imaging techniques, not in MRI scans. Therefore, the correct answer is high-frequency sound waves (Choice D) as they are utilized in MRI technology to produce images.
