1. Which is the correct order of formed elements in blood from smallest to largest cell size?

• A. Erythrocytes, thrombocytes, and leukocytes
• B. Thrombocytes, leukocytes, and erythrocytes
• C. Thrombocytes, erythrocytes, and leukocytes
• D. Leukocytes, erythrocytes, and thrombocytes

Correct answer: C

Rationale: The correct order of formed elements in blood from smallest to largest cell size is thrombocytes (platelets), erythrocytes (red blood cells), and leukocytes (white blood cells), making choice C the correct answer. Thrombocytes are the smallest, followed by erythrocytes, and then leukocytes. Choices A, B, and D are incorrect because they do not follow the correct order of cell size in blood formed elements.

2. Which of the following are the blood vessels that transport blood away from the heart?

• A. arteries
• B. capillaries
• C. venules
• D. veins

Correct answer: A

Rationale: Arteries are blood vessels that carry oxygen-rich blood away from the heart to various parts of the body. Therefore, they are the vessels that transport blood away from the heart. Veins, on the other hand, transport blood back to the heart. Capillaries are tiny blood vessels where the exchange of nutrients and waste products occurs between blood and tissues, not vessels that transport blood to the heart. Venules are small veins that collect blood from capillaries and connect them to larger veins, rather than transport blood to the heart.

3. Which of the following statements is true regarding the ventricles of the heart?

• A. The left ventricle pumps blood into the aorta
• B. The right ventricle pumps blood into the pulmonary trunk
• C. Ventricles are the discharging chambers of the heart
• D. All of the above

Correct answer: D

Rationale: All of these statements are true regarding the ventricles of the heart. The left ventricle does indeed pump oxygenated blood into the aorta, while the right ventricle pumps deoxygenated blood into the pulmonary trunk. Ventricles are indeed the discharging chambers of the heart, responsible for pumping blood out into the circulatory system. Therefore, as all the statements are accurate, the correct answer is 'All of the above.' Choices A, B, and C are all correct statements about the ventricles, making them incorrect answers in isolation.

4. Which term refers to the act of inhaling foreign objects into the airway?

• A. Expiration
• B. Respiration
• C. Aspiration
• D. Inhalation

Correct answer: C

Rationale: Among the options provided, aspiration is the term that specifically refers to the act of inhaling foreign objects into the airway. Expiration refers to breathing out, respiration is the overall process of gas exchange in the body, and inhalation is the act of breathing in air or other substances into the lungs. Therefore, the correct answer is C, aspiration. It is crucial to understand these terms in the context of airway management and respiratory care to ensure proper identification and treatment of related conditions.

5. Which law of motion explains the behavior of rockets in space?

• A. Newton's First Law
• B. Newton's Second Law
• C. Newton's Third Law
• D. None of the above

Correct answer: C

Rationale: The correct answer is Newton's Third Law. Newton's Third Law states that for every action, there is an equal and opposite reaction. In the case of rockets in space, the action is the expulsion of gas from the rocket engines, and the reaction is the forward motion of the rocket. This law explains how rockets are able to propel themselves forward in the vacuum of space. Choices A and B are incorrect because Newton's First Law (inertia) and Second Law (F=ma) do not directly explain the behavior of rockets in space. Choice D is incorrect as Newton's Third Law specifically addresses the principle behind rockets' motion in space.
