Sample RMA Practice Questions

Try these sample questions to test your RMA exam readiness. Each question includes a detailed explanation. Start the interactive quiz above for the full 200+ question experience with AI tutoring.

1Which chamber of the heart pumps oxygenated blood into the aorta?
A.Right atrium
B.Right ventricle
C.Left atrium
D.Left ventricle
Explanation: The left ventricle has the thickest myocardium and pumps oxygenated blood through the aortic valve into the aorta and systemic circulation.
2The functional filtering unit of the kidney is the:
A.Alveolus
B.Nephron
C.Hepatocyte
D.Villus
Explanation: The nephron is the kidney's microscopic functional unit; it filters blood and forms urine. Alveoli are in the lungs, hepatocytes in the liver, villi in the intestine.
3Gas exchange in the lungs occurs in the:
A.Bronchi
B.Trachea
C.Alveoli
D.Pleura
Explanation: Oxygen and carbon dioxide diffuse across the thin walls of the alveoli and surrounding capillaries. The bronchi and trachea are conducting airways only.
4Which blood cells are primarily responsible for oxygen transport?
A.Leukocytes
B.Thrombocytes
C.Erythrocytes
D.Lymphocytes
Explanation: Erythrocytes (red blood cells) carry oxygen bound to hemoglobin. Leukocytes fight infection and thrombocytes (platelets) aid clotting.
5The largest organ of the integumentary system is the:
A.Liver
B.Skin
C.Heart
D.Lung
Explanation: The skin is the body's largest organ and the main structure of the integumentary system, providing protection, temperature regulation, and sensation.
6Insulin, which lowers blood glucose, is secreted by the:
A.Adrenal glands
B.Thyroid gland
C.Beta cells of the pancreas
D.Pituitary gland
Explanation: Beta cells in the islets of Langerhans of the pancreas secrete insulin, which lowers blood glucose by promoting cellular uptake.
7Which part of the brain controls balance and coordination?
A.Cerebrum
B.Cerebellum
C.Medulla oblongata
D.Hypothalamus
Explanation: The cerebellum coordinates voluntary movement, posture, and balance. The cerebrum governs higher thought; the medulla controls vital reflexes.
8A normal adult resting heart rate falls within which range?
A.40-50 bpm
B.60-100 bpm
C.100-120 bpm
D.120-140 bpm
Explanation: A normal adult resting pulse is 60-100 beats per minute. Below 60 is bradycardia and above 100 is tachycardia.
9Which condition is characterized by chronically elevated blood glucose due to insulin deficiency or resistance?
A.Hypothyroidism
B.Diabetes mellitus
C.Anemia
D.Hypertension
Explanation: Diabetes mellitus results from inadequate insulin production or insulin resistance, producing chronic hyperglycemia.
10The wave-like muscular contractions that move food through the digestive tract are called:
A.Peristalsis
B.Mastication
C.Emulsification
D.Deglutition
Explanation: Peristalsis is the rhythmic smooth-muscle contraction that propels food through the esophagus and intestines.
