Question 1

The transverse section is a division through a _____ plane.
A)horizontal
B)frontal
C)sagittal
D)coronal

Accepted Answer

The transverse section is a division through a horizontal plane, which is perpendicular to the long axis of the body or structure being observed. This type of section is also known as a cross-sectional or axial section. The other choices, frontal (B), sagittal (C), and coronal (D), all refer to different types of planes that are oriented in a different direction than the transverse plane.

Question 10

From the following list of anatomic terms,select which terms are DIRECTLY associated with the planes that can be noted with the body.(Select all that apply. )
A)Medial or distal
B)Median or sagittal
C)Frontal or horizontal
D)Lateral or proximal

Accepted Answer

The planes of the body are the median or sagittal plane (which divides the body into left and right halves), the frontal or coronal plane (which divides the body into front and back halves), and the horizontal or transverse plane (which divides the body into upper and lower halves). Therefore, terms directly associated with these planes are median or sagittal and frontal or coronal, which correspond to choice B and C, respectively. Medial, distal, lateral, and proximal are not directly associated with the planes themselves but rather describe locations or directions relative to certain reference points on the body.

Question 11

The ventral part is directed toward the anterior and is considered the opposite of the dorsal part when considering the entire body.
A)Both statements are true.
B)Both statements are false.
C)The first statement is true;the second is false.
D)The first statement is false;the second is true.

Accepted Answer

Both statements are accurate. The ventral part of the body is indeed directed toward the anterior (front) side, and it is considered the opposite of the dorsal (back) part when considering the orientation of the entire body.

Question 12

MATCHING
From the following list of anatomic terms,match those terms with their CORRECT alternative terms.
-Frontal plane
A)Coronal plane
B)Midsagittal plane
C)Horizontal section
D)Coronal section

Accepted Answer

The frontal plane is also referred to as the coronal plane, as it divides the body into anterior and posterior portions. The midsagittal plane divides the body into left and right halves, while the horizontal section refers to a cut made parallel to the ground. The coronal section refers to a cut made perpendicular to the ground, but it is not an alternative term for the frontal plane.

Question 13

MATCHING
From the following list of anatomic terms,match those terms with their CORRECT alternative terms.
-Median plane
A)Coronal plane
B)Midsagittal plane
C)Horizontal section
D)Coronal section

Accepted Answer

The median plane and midsagittal plane are alternative terms that describe an imaginary vertical line that divides the body into two equal left and right halves. The coronal plane and frontal plane are alternative terms that describe an imaginary vertical line that divides the body into front and back portions. The horizontal section and transverse section are alternative terms that describe an imaginary cross-section that divides the body into upper and lower portions. Therefore, the correct alternative term for the median plane is the midsagittal plane (Option B).

Question 17

A horizontal plane is created by an imaginary line dividing the body at any level into both superior and inferior parts and is ALWAYS _______ to the median plane.
A)anterior
B)posterior
C)parallel
D)perpendicular

Accepted Answer

A horizontal plane is always perpendicular to the median plane, as it is dividing the body into superior and inferior parts (i.e., up and down). Perpendicular means that the two planes are at 90-degree angles to each other. Therefore, the best choice is D.
