d. the diaphragm moves up and expands the chest cavity.

____11. Arrange properly the statements below on how the heart works.
A. When the heart contracts, the right lower ventricle will pump the blood into the lungs,
where the carbon dioxide is exchanged for oxygen.
B. The heart receives oxygen-deficient blood from the body into the right upper atrium.
C. Oxygen-rich blood flows from the left upper atrium into the left lower ventricle.

____13. Atherosclerosis is a disease in which plaque builds up inside your arteries. Plaque is made
up of fat, cholesterol, calcium, and other substances found in the blood. Over time, plaque hardens
and narrows your arteries. This limits the flow of oxygen-rich blood to your organs and other parts of
your body.

____17. Today, the world is experiencing the global health problem which is the Covid-19, a kind of
virus that causes respiratory diseases which leads to chronic-(long term) infections. As the virus
enters our body, what type of White Blood Cells is going to take action in order to attack these
viruses?
