1. What is the maximum volume of air that can be expelled from the lungs after maximum inhalation?
- A. Tidal volume
- B. Total lung capacity
- C. Ventilation rate
- D. Vital capacity
Correct answer: D
Rationale: The correct answer is D, Vital capacity. Vital capacity represents the maximum volume of air that can be expelled from the lungs after a maximum inhalation. Tidal volume (Choice A) is the volume of air inspired or expired during normal breathing at rest and is not the maximum capacity. Total lung capacity (Choice B) refers to the maximum volume of air the lungs can accommodate including the residual volume, not just the expelled air. Ventilation rate (Choice C) is the rate at which air is moved in and out of the lungs, not the maximum volume of air that can be expelled.
2. From an anterior view, which of the following vessels carries blood away from the heart?
- A. Left common carotid artery
- B. Pulmonary trunk
- C. Subclavian arteries
- D. All of the above
Correct answer: D
Rationale: The correct answer is D, 'All of the above.' When viewed from an anterior perspective, the left common carotid artery, pulmonary trunk, and subclavian arteries all carry blood away from the heart. The left common carotid artery supplies oxygenated blood to the head and neck, the pulmonary trunk carries deoxygenated blood to the lungs for oxygenation, and the subclavian arteries transport blood to the upper extremities. Therefore, all the vessels listed in the choices are correct as they function to carry blood away from the heart when viewed anteriorly.
3. Which locations in the digestive system are sites of chemical digestion? I. Mouth II. Stomach III. Small Intestine
- A. II only
- B. III only
- C. II and III only
- D. I, II, and III
Correct answer: D
Rationale: Chemical digestion occurs in all three locations in the digestive system - the mouth, stomach, and small intestine. Enzymes in the saliva break down carbohydrates in the mouth, gastric juices in the stomach help break down proteins, and enzymes in the small intestine further break down macronutrients like carbohydrates, proteins, and fats. The mouth initiates the digestion of carbohydrates, the stomach digests proteins, and the small intestine continues the breakdown of carbohydrates, proteins, and fats. Choice A is incorrect because chemical digestion does occur in the mouth. Choice B is incorrect as both the stomach and small intestine are sites of chemical digestion. Choice C is incorrect as the mouth is also a location of chemical digestion, not just the stomach and small intestine.
4. Which of the following is a run-on sentence?
- A. I went to the store, and I bought some milk.
- B. The cat slept on the mat; she purred softly.
- C. He studied hard, so he passed the exam.
- D. We can go to the park, or we can stay home.
Correct answer: B
Rationale: The correct answer is B: 'The cat slept on the mat; she purred softly.' This sentence is a run-on because it contains two independent clauses ('The cat slept on the mat' and 'she purred softly') without proper punctuation. Choice A is incorrect as it is a compound sentence with a coordinating conjunction 'and' joining two independent clauses. Choice C is also incorrect as it is a compound sentence connected by a coordinating conjunction 'so.' Choice D is not a run-on sentence; it is a compound sentence with a coordinating conjunction 'or' joining two independent clauses.
5. What is 0.875 as a simplified fraction?
- A. 7/8
- B. 9/10
- C. 5/6
- D. 3/4
Correct answer: A
Rationale: To convert 0.875 to a fraction, we write it as 875/1000. Then, simplify the fraction by dividing both the numerator and denominator by 125 to get 7/8, which is the simplest form of the fraction. Choice B (9/10), Choice C (5/6), and Choice D (3/4) are all incorrect because they do not represent the value of 0.875 when expressed as a fraction.
