To provide places of attachment for muscles
To help transport blood

2: Which of the following is a difference between bone and cartilage?
Bones are more flexible than cartilage.
Bones are harder than cartilage.
Bones are larger than cartilage.
Bones heal more completely than cartilage.

3: All muscles pull rather than push. How, then, is it possible for you to push a table or a chair across a room?
Because muscles are strong
Because muscles are arranged in opposed groups
Because muscles contract in different directions
Because muscle fiber has many different layers

4: How does heart muscle tissue resemble voluntary muscle tissue?
Because the heart has cross-striations
Because the muscle tissues have one nucleus
Because we can control our heart beat
Because the heart is made of smooth muscle tissue

5: What is a function of plasma?
To allow blood cells to flow throughout the body
To bring food to cells of body tissue
To help fight disease
To carry hemoglobin to muscle groups

6: What is one way the blood is adapted to resist the invasion of micro-organisms?
By carrying hemoglobin to all parts of the body
By creating lymph out of plasma
Through white corpuscles
The blood does not resist invasion, other organs filter blood to remove micro-organisms

7: Describe the pattern of blood flow through the heart, body, and lungs.
Blood passes through the left ventricle of the heart to the arteries, through the muscles, into the veins, into the right ventricle of the heart, into the lungs, back into the left ventricle, and begins again
Blood passes through the lungs to collect oxygen, into the right ventricle, into the veins, into the left ventricle, and into the arteries which lead to the lungs for replenishing the oxygen supply
Blood passes from the left ventricle to the veins, through the muscles, to the arteries, to the lungs, into the right ventricle of the heart to begin again
Blood passes from the right ventricle of the heart to the lungs, through the arteries, through the muscles, and back to the lungs through the veins

8: Distinguish between an artery and a vein.
An artery is carries much more blood than veins, which branch off of arteries
Arteries carry oxygen-rich blood to muscle tissue; veins return blood with waste be replenished with oxygen
Veins carry oxygen-rich blood to muscle tissue; arteries return blood with waste be replenished with oxygen
A vein carries much more blood than arteries, which branch off of veins

9: What is meant by "blood type"?
The kind of cells that make up blood, varying with the ratio of red to white blood cells
Hemophiliacs have a different blood type than healthy people, which is why their blood does not clot normally
A classification of blood based on inherited differences on the surface of red blood cells

Because they both bring about responses
Because they are both delivered through the blood system
Because they are both issued from parts of the brain
Because they are both essential in puberty

11: What is diabetes and how is it treated?
The pancreas does not supply enough insulin and excessive amounts of sugar collect in the blood. It is treated by controlling diet and injecting extra insulin into the blood.
The thyroid gland is overactive and can cause weight-loss, irritability, and protrusion of the eyes. It is controlled through various medical procedures to reduce levels of thyroxin.
The pancreas produces too much insulin and breaks down the sugar in the blood too fast. It is treated by controlled diet and injecting insulin-suppressors into the blood.
The thyroid gland is under-active and people tend to become obese and slow in reactions. It is controlled by diet and injections of thyroxin.
