20 questions

Question 1: The medulla oblongata controls heartbeat and breathing.

A. Yes

B. No

Explanation: The study materials explicitly state that the medulla oblongata controls heartbeat and breathing, and problems with these functions would occur if it were affected.

Question 2: What is the primary function of the cristae within the human ear?

A. Detects changes in the position of the head

B. Acts as the receptor for hearing

C. Detects changes in speed and direction of the body

D. Transmits vibrations from the tympanic membrane to the inner ear

Explanation: The key terminology section defines crista (plural: cristae) as a 'receptor which detects changes in speed and direction of the head'. Additionally, Activity 8 confirms that cristae 'detect changes in speed and direction of the body'.

Question 3: The image SIA2008-0845 has a CC BY-SA 3.0 license and is attributed to the Smithsonian Institution Archives.

A. Yes

B. No

Explanation: The study materials indicate that image SIA2008-0845, attributed to the Smithsonian Institution Archives, has a CC0 license, not CC BY-SA 3.0.

Question 4: Which of the following describes the attribution for image 12 (A and B) in the study materials?

A. Helen Beare from the Australian Museum, licensed under CC BY-NC-SA 4.0

B. Beth Blaxland and Fran Dorey from the Australian Museum, licensed under CC BY-SA 4.0

C. Fran Dorey from the Australian Museum, licensed under CC BY-NC-SA 3.0

D. An uncredited source from the Australian Museum, licensed under CC0

Explanation: The study materials state: '12. A and B: Helen Beare, Australian Museum, CC BY-NC-SA 4.0'. This directly matches the first option.

Question 5: Hearing aids are a form of treatment for total or partial hearing loss.

A. Yes

B. No

Explanation: The study materials indicate that 'Deafness refers to a total or partial hearing loss' and lists 'hearing aids' under the 'Treatment' section for deafness.
