Question

1. an example of a slightly movable joint is the: a. hip. b. bones of the cranium. c. individual vertebra. d. wrist. 7. muscles are attached to bones by: a. tendons. b. ligaments. c. joints. d. cartilage. 8. which type of muscle is found in blood vessels? a. voluntary b. cardiac c. striated d. involuntary 9. the ______ is the major muscle of the respiratory system. a. diaphragm b. bronchi c. alveoli d. intercostal muscle 10. the inferior chamber of the heart that pumps blood to the body is the: a. right atrium. b. left atrium. c. left ventricle. d. right ventricle. 11. the body’s state of balance between all the body processes is called: a. homeostasis. b. equealostasis.

Explanation:

• For question 6, individual vertebrae are slightly - movable joints (amphiarthroses). The hip is a freely - movable joint, cranial bones are immovable, and the wrist is a freely - movable joint.
• For question 7, muscles are attached to bones by tendons. Ligaments connect bone to bone, joints are the connection points between bones, and cartilage is a type of connective tissue.
• For question 8, the muscle in blood vessels is involuntary smooth muscle. Voluntary muscle is under conscious control, cardiac muscle is in the heart, and striated muscle includes skeletal and cardiac muscle (but not the type in blood vessels).
• For question 9, the diaphragm is the major muscle of the respiratory system. Bronchi are air - conducting tubes, alveoli are gas - exchange sites, and intercostal muscles assist in breathing but are not the major muscle.
• For question 10, the left ventricle pumps oxygenated blood to the body. The right atrium receives deoxygenated blood from the body, the left atrium receives oxygenated blood from the lungs, and the right ventricle pumps deoxygenated blood to the lungs.
• For question 11, the body's state of balance between all body processes is called homeostasis. There is no such term as "equealostasis".

Answer:

1. c. individual vertebra
2. a. tendons
3. d. Involuntary
4. a. diaphragm
5. c. left ventricle
6. a. homeostasis
