Answer the following question given this paragraph: The seminiferous tubules within each testis join to form the epididymis. The epididymis (plural, epididymes) is a coiled tube about 6 meters (20 feet) long lying atop the testis inside the scrotum. The functions of the epididymis are to mature and store mature sperm until they leave the body. Q: What joins within each testis to form the epididymis? Choices: - viviparous tubules - hypodermic tubules - interstitial tubules - seminiferous tubules A:
seminiferous tubules

Answer the following question given this paragraph: Reception of Sound In mammals, sound waves are collected by the external, cartilaginous part of the ear called the pinna, then travel through the auditory canal and cause vibration of the thin diaphragm called the tympanum or ear drum, the innermost part of the outer ear (illustrated in Figure 36.13). Interior to the tympanum is the middle ear. The middle ear holds three small bones called the ossicles, which transfer energy from the moving tympanum to the inner ear. The three ossicles are the malleus (also known as the hammer), the incus (the anvil), and stapes (the stirrup). The aptly named stapes looks very much like a stirrup. The three ossicles are unique to mammals, and each plays a role in hearing. The malleus attaches at three points to the interior surface of the tympanic membrane. The incus attaches the malleus to the stapes. In humans, the stapes is not long enough to reach the tympanum. If we did not have the malleus and the incus, then the vibrations of the tympanum would never reach the inner ear. These bones also function to collect force and amplify sounds. The ear ossicles are homologous to bones in a fish mouth: the bones that support gills in fish are thought to be adapted for use in the vertebrate ear over evolutionary time. Many animals (frogs, reptiles, and birds, for example) use the stapes of the middle ear to transmit vibrations to the middle ear. Q: In mammals, sound waves are collected by the external, cartilaginous part of the ear called the pinna, then travel through the auditory canal and cause vibration of the thin diaphragm called the tympanum or this? Choices: - speaker drum - microphone drum - head drum - ear drum A:
(Answer)
ear drum
Ques: Answer the following question given this paragraph: Sexual reproduction is more complicated. It involves two parents. Special cells called gametes are produced by the parents. A gamete produced by a female parent is generally called an egg . A gamete produced by a male parent is usually called a sperm . An offspring forms when two gametes unite. The union of the two gametes is called fertilization . You can see a human sperm and egg uniting in Figure below . The initial cell that forms when two gametes unite is called a zygote . Q: In sexual reproduction, what is the name of the gamete cell the male must contribute? Choices: - plasma - spore - ova - sperm A:
Ans: sperm
(Q).
Answer the following question given this paragraph: Some processes in the body are regulated by positive feedback. Positive feedback is when a response to an event increases the likelihood of the event to continue. An example of positive feedback is milk production in nursing mothers. As the baby drinks her mother's milk, the hormone prolactin, a chemical signal, is released. The more the baby suckles, the more prolactin is released, which causes more milk to be produced. Other examples of positive feedback include contractions during childbirth. When constrictions in the uterus push a baby into the birth canal, additional contractions occur. Q: Where does a baby travel to after leaving the uterus? Choices: - tissue canal - ear canal - nasal canal - birth canal A:
(A).
birth canal
Ques:Answer the following question given this paragraph: part of a vertebrate endoskeleton that encloses and protects the brain; also called the skull. Q: The skull is a part of a vertebrate endoskeleton that encloses and protects what organ? Choices: - nervous system - lung - heart - brain A:

Ans:brain
Ques:Answer the following question given this paragraph: Mollusks are invertebrates such as snails, scallops, and squids. They have a hard outer shell. There is a layer of tissue called the mantle between the shell and the body. Most mollusks have tentacles for feeding and sensing, and many have a muscular foot. Mollusks also have a coelom, a complete digestive system, and specialized organs for excretion. The majority of mollusks live in the ocean. Different classes of mollusks have different ways of obtaining food. Q: Snails, scallops, and squids are what type of invertebrate? Choices: - crustacean - algae - arthropod - mollusk A:

Ans:
mollusk
