  • Q #1: Which of the following orbitals is the last to fill?

    A. 1s

    B. 3s

    C. 4p

    D. 6s

    Answer Explanation

    Of these orbitals, the last to fill is 6s.

    Orbitals fill in the following order: 1s, 25, 2p. 35, 3p, 4s, 3d, 4p, 55, 4d, 5p. 6s, 4f, 5d, 6p. 7s, 5f, 6d, and 7p. The number is the orbital number, and the letter is the sublevel identification. Sublevels has one orbital and can hold a maximum of two electrons. Sublevel p has three orbitals and can hold a maximum of six electrons. Sublevel d has five orbitals and can hold a maximum of 10 electrons, Sublevel f has seven orbitals and can hold a maximum of 14 electrons.

  • Q #2: Where is the scapula in relation to the olecranon?

    A. Distal

    B. Lateral

    C. Ventral

    D. Superior

    Answer Explanation

    The scapula, commonly known as the shoulder blade, is above the olecranon, commonly known as the elbow. Conversely, the olecranon is distal or inferior to the scapula.

  • Q #3: Which section of the digestive system is responsible for receiving chyme and further digesting it?

    A. The large intestine

    B. The duodenum

    C. The jejunum

    D. The gallbladder

    Answer Explanation

    The duodenum is the first section of the small intestine. It receives partially digested food (also called chyme) from the stomach, further digesting it with the help of enzymes released by the gall bladder. Then, the food enters into the jejunum, then the ileum. The large Intestine's main function is the reabsorption of water into the body to form solid waste. It also allows for the absorption of vitamin K produced by microbes living inside the large intestine.
