True

Question 7

Each kidney is supplied by ________, but in some individuals a kidney is
supplied by _______. Either way, the
kidney receives adequate blood.

Answer 7

one blood vessel; two blood vessels

Question 8

It is a severe condition wherein certain blood
vessels arising from an infant’s heart are not
attached in their correct locations. Hence, blood
is not effectively pumped to the lungs, and so the
tissues do not receive adequate oxygen.

Answer 8

Blue baby syndrome

Question 9

It is the scientific investigation of the processes of

functions of living things.

Answer 9

Physiology

Question 10

It is to understand and predict the body’s responses
to stimuli and to understand how the body maintains
conditions within a narrow range of values in a
constantly changing environment.

Answer 10

Physiology

Question 11

Physiology often examines regions rather than systems because
a particular function can involve portions of a system
in more than one region. (TRUE OR FALSE)

Answer 11

False (Correct Answer: Physiology often examines SYSTEMS rather than REGIONS because
a particular function can involve portions of a system
in more than one region.
