TEAS Test 7 science Questions
Question 1 of 5
Where is the ball-and-socket joint, allowing a wide range of motion, found?
Correct Answer: A
Rationale: The ball-and-socket joint is located between the upper arm (humerus) and the shoulder blade (scapula). This joint provides a wide range of motion, enabling movements like flexion, extension, abduction, adduction, and rotation. It plays a crucial role in various activities involving the shoulder joint, such as throwing, reaching overhead, and performing rotational movements. Choice B, the collarbone (clavicle) and breastbone (sternum), form the sternoclavicular joint, which is a synovial saddle joint. Choice C, two vertebrae in the spine, typically form gliding or facet joints. Choice D, ribs and sternum, are connected by cartilage, forming cartilaginous joints.
Question 2 of 5
Which of the following is NOT a component of the body's innate immune response?
Correct Answer: D
Rationale: The production of antibodies specific to a particular pathogen is a function of the adaptive immune response, not the innate immune response. Innate immunity involves nonspecific defense mechanisms like physical barriers, phagocytes, and inflammation, which provide immediate protection against pathogens without prior exposure. Antibody production is a characteristic of adaptive immunity, where the body generates specific antibodies in response to encountering a pathogen for the first time. Therefore, option D is the correct answer as it does not align with the immediate and nonspecific nature of the innate immune response.
Question 3 of 5
Which of the following substances is NOT typically found in healthy urine?
Correct Answer: B
Rationale: Glucose is not typically found in healthy urine because the kidneys usually filter glucose from the blood and reabsorb it back into the bloodstream. The presence of glucose in urine, known as glucosuria, is usually indicative of diabetes or other medical conditions affecting glucose regulation. On the other hand, urea, creatinine, and electrolytes are commonly present in healthy urine as byproducts of metabolism and electrolyte balance. Urea is a waste product of protein metabolism, creatinine is a waste product of muscle metabolism, and electrolytes are essential for various physiological functions in the body. Therefore, choices A, C, and D are typically found in healthy urine, making them incorrect answers.
Question 4 of 5
In which medium does light propagate at its highest speed?
Correct Answer: A
Rationale: Light travels at its highest speed in a vacuum. However, among the options provided, air is the closest medium to a vacuum, making it the correct answer. In general, light travels slower in denser mediums due to interactions with atoms and molecules in the medium. Water, glass, and diamond are denser mediums compared to air, causing light to propagate at slower speeds in these materials, hence making them incorrect choices.
Question 5 of 5
A light ray travels from air (refractive index 1.00) into water (refractive index 1.33). What happens to its speed and direction?
Correct Answer: C
Rationale: When a light ray travels from air (lower refractive index) to water (higher refractive index), its speed decreases due to the change in the medium. This is because light travels slower in denser mediums. As the light ray enters the denser medium, water in this case, it bends towards the normal (the line perpendicular to the surface of the water). This phenomenon is known as refraction. Choice A is incorrect as the speed of light decreases when entering a denser medium. Choice B is incorrect as the direction bends towards the normal, not away from it. Choice D is incorrect as the speed and direction of the light ray do change when moving from air to water.
