B) secretion of insulin in response to increased blood glucose

 

C) secretion of glucagon in response to decreased blood glucose

 

D) uterine contractions in response to the pressure of the baby’s head on the cervix

 

 

 

Answer: D

 

Explanation: As the fetus reaches full term, its head pushes on the cervix. The increased pressure on the cervix causes the cervix to release prostaglandins, which cause the uterus to contract, moving away from homeostasis. The contractions cause the fetal head to push harder on the cervix which increases the pressure. The cervix responds by making more prostaglandins, leading to more contractions, further increasing the fetal head’s pressure on the cervix.

B) A child’s immune system is not fully developed and continues to mature throughout childhood.

 

C) Children are not as clean as adults.

 

D) Children are not more susceptible to infectious diseases.

 

 

 

Answer: B

 

Explanation: Babies are born with partially developed immune systems. The immune system is responsible for helping fight disease throughout a person’s lifetime. A child’s immune system continues to mature throughout childhood. For this reason, children are often more vulnerable to infectious diseases, which result from being infected by a microorganism such as a bacterium or virus.

B) This predisposing factor can be controlled by an individual.

 

C) As people live longer they become more susceptible to disease.

 

D) Children are more susceptible to diseases than adults because of their age.

B) Fluid leaks out of blood vessels causing swelling.

 

C) Blood flow to the injured area is increased.

 

D) All of the answers happen during inflammation.

 

 

 

Answer: D

 

Explanation: The damaged tissues produce chemicals called mediators of inflammation, which diffuse away from the damaged area and cause any blood vessels they meet to dilate. This brings more blood flow to the area. The increased blood flow accounts for the redness and heat. Blood vessels become more permeable when they dilate. Fluid from the blood leaks out into the surrounding damaged tissue, causing it to swell. This extra fluid increases pressure on the nerve endings, creating the pain.

135) When considering developmental disorders, when does the damage to the brain that causes the disability occur?

 

A) Prenatally

 

B) Perinatally

 

C) Postnatally

 

D) Damage to the brain can occur prenatally, perinatally, or postnatally.

 

 

 

Answer: D

 

Explanation: Brain damage that causes developmental disorders can occur prenatally, perinatally, or postnatally.

136) Which statement about pain is true?

 

A) A pain scale allows patients to rank their pain.

 

B) Pain can be measured.

 

C) Pain is an objective sign of disease.

 

D) Pain always disappears on its own.

 

 

 

Answer: A

 

Explanation: A pain scale is used for patients to rank their level of pain but because pain is a symptom, it cannot be measured.

137) What purpose do mediators of inflammation serve?

 

A) They cause injured tissue to swell.

 

B) They cause blood vessels to dilate.

 

C) They cause pain at the site of the injury.

 

D) They cause redness at the site of the injury.

 

 

 

Answer: B

 

Explanation: The damaged tissues produce chemicals called mediators of inflammation, which diffuse away from the damaged area and cause any blood vessels they meet to dilate.

139) Which of the following does not happen during inflammation?

 

A) The damaged tissues produce chemicals called mediators of inflammation.

 

B) Blood vessels become more permeable.

 

C) Fluid from the blood leaks out into the surrounding damaged tissue.

 

D) Blood flow to the area is decreased.

 

 

 

Answer: D

 

Explanation: The damaged tissues produce chemicals called mediators of inflammation, which diffuse away from the damaged area and cause any blood vessels they meet to dilate. This brings more blood flow to the area. The increased blood flow accounts for the redness and heat. Blood vessels become more permeable when they dilate. Fluid from the blood leaks out into the surrounding damaged tissue, causing it to swell. This extra fluid increases pressure on the nerve endings, creating the pain.

140) How does the body’s immune system respond to an injury that allows bacteria and pathogens to enter tissue under the skin?

 

A) Pain

 

B) Anaphylaxis

 

C) Inflammation

 

D) The body’s immune system does not respond to this type of injury.

 

 

 

Answer: C

 

Explanation: The body’s immune response to invasion by pathogens is inflammation.
