E)A midsagittal section of the body would pass through the nose and navel.
F)Anterior and posterior parts of the body are obtained with a frontal section.

Accepted Answer

All the statements are true: A transverse section is horizontal, a coronal section is the same as a frontal section, a cross-section shows internal structure of tubular organs, a sagittal section divides right and left parts, a midsagittal section passes through the nose and navel, and a frontal section divides anterior and posterior parts.

Question 2

Which of the following statements are true of body cavities (Select all that apply)?
A)The pelvic cavity is the most inferior part of the dorsal cavity.
B)The two major cavities are the dorsal and posterior cavities.
C)The abdominal cavity is part of the ventral cavity and is lined with the peritoneum.
D)The spinal cavity is lined with meninges.
E)The diaphragm separates the thoracic cavity from the pelvic cavity.
F)The spinal cavity and cranial cavity are continuous.

Accepted Answer

The pelvic cavity is actually part of the ventral cavity, not the dorsal cavity (so A is incorrect). The two major cavities are actually the dorsal (back) and ventral (front) cavities, not dorsal and posterior (so B is incorrect). The abdominal cavity is part of the ventral cavity and is lined with the peritoneum (so C is correct). The spinal cavity is lined with meninges (so D is correct). The diaphragm separates the thoracic and abdominal cavities, not the pelvic cavity (so E is incorrect). The spinal and cranial cavities are actually continuous and together form the central cavity (so F is correct).

Question 3

Which of the following statements are true of the directional terms with the body in anatomic position (Select all that apply)?
A)The foot is the most inferior part of the body.
B)The pectoral muscles are dorsal and inferior to the shoulders.
C)The forehead is on the ventral side of the body.
D)Anatomic position for the hands is palm down.
E)The knee is proximal to the ankle. 
F)External may never be used as a synonym for exterior.
G)The trunk of the body is medial to the arms.
H)Distal is the opposite of axial.

Accepted Answer

The foot is the most inferior part of the body. The forehead is on the ventral side of the body. The knee is proximal to the ankle. The trunk of the body is medial to the arms.

Question 4

Which of the following statements are true of body areas (Select all that apply)?
A)The scapular area is inferior to the gluteal area.
B)The temporal and occipital areas are both part of the cranial area.
C)The sternal area is lateral to the mammary area.
D)The popliteal area is posterior to the patellar area.
E)The most proximal area of the upper limb is the antecubital area.
F)The cervical area is both anterior and posterior.

Accepted Answer

The temporal and occipital areas are part of the cranial area. The popliteal area is located behind the knee, making it posterior to the patellar area. The cervical area, which refers to the neck, is both anterior and posterior.

Question 5

Which of the following statements are true of body areas (Select all that apply)?
A)The femoral area is both dorsal and ventral.
B)The iliac area is medial to the umbilical area.
C)The most distal area of the lower limb is the femoral area.
D)The deltoid area is superior to the sacral area.
E)The axillary area is to the upper limb as the inguinal area is to the lower limb.
F)The hepatic area is superficial to the cutaneous area.

Accepted Answer

The femoral area is both dorsal and ventral as it includes the thigh region. The deltoid area, located on the shoulder, is superior to the sacral area, which is near the lower back. The axillary area (armpit) relates to the upper limb as the inguinal area (groin) relates to the lower limb.

Question 6

Which of the following statements are true of cells and tissues (Select all that apply)?
A)A human cell is made of organic and inorganic chemicals.
B)A tissue is a group of similar cells that work together.
C)A tissue that generates impulses is nerve tissue.
D)Some connective tissues do not have cells.
E)A tissue on a body surface is an epithelial tissue.
F)The tissue that is specialized to contract is muscle tissue.

Accepted Answer

A human cell is composed of both organic and inorganic chemicals. A tissue is indeed a group of similar cells working together. Nerve tissue generates impulses. Epithelial tissue covers body surfaces. Muscle tissue is specialized to contract. However, all connective tissues have cells, so D is incorrect.

Question 7

Which of the following statements are true of the quadrants of the abdomen (Select all that apply)?
A)The use of quadrants makes description of organ location simpler.
B)The imaginary lines that create the quadrants cross at the navel.
C)The liver is not found in the left upper quadrant.
D)The pancreas is not found in the right lower quadrant.
E)The imaginary lines that create the quadrants are a midsagittal plane and a frontal plane.
F)Parts of the small intestine are found in all four quadrants.

Accepted Answer

The answer of Which of the following statements are true...

Question 8

Which of the following statements are true of anatomy and physiology (Select all that apply)?
A)Anatomy is the study only of structures visible to the unaided eye.
B)Physiology is usually not directly related to anatomy,and must be studied separately.
C)A structure that is thick and firm probably has a supportive function.
D)The size of an organ is part of its physiology.
E)An organ's location in the body is part of its anatomy.
F)Physiology is the study of the functions of all of the parts of the body.

Accepted Answer

A) Anatomy includes study of both visible and microscopic structures.
B) Physiology is directly related to anatomy, as it is the study of the functions of anatomical structures.
C) A thick and firm structure usually indicates a supportive function, such as bone or cartilage.
D) The size of an organ is considered part of its anatomy, while its function is studied in physiology.
E) The location of an organ in the body is considered part of its anatomy.
F) Physiology is indeed the study of the functions of all parts of the body.

Question 9

Which of the following statements are true of homeostasis (Select all that apply)?
A)Changes outside the body often bring about changes inside the body.
B)Maintaining homeostasis is the same as maintaining good health.
C)For most aspects of body functioning (e.g.,pulse or BP)only a single value is considered normal,therefore an indicator of homeostasis.
D)A positive feedback mechanism is one in which a body function is increased then decreased.
E)A negative feedback mechanism is one in which a body function is always decreased.
F)Only negative feedback mechanisms require external brakes,so that the body function will increase again.

Accepted Answer

The answer of Which of the following statements are true...

Question 10

Which of the following statements are true of organs and organ systems (Select all that apply)?
A)An organ is made of several kinds of tissues.
B)The stomach is an organ,but the liver is not.
C)A kidney is an organ,but a bone is not.
D)An organ can never be part of two organ systems.
E)If an organ contains muscle tissue,it will probably move something.
F)All of the organs in an organ system have specific functions that contribute to the functioning of the system as a whole.

Accepted Answer

An organ is made of several kinds of tissues (A). If an organ contains muscle tissue, it will probably move something (E). All organs in an organ system have specific functions that contribute to the functioning of the system as a whole (F).

Question 11

Which of the following statements are true of the organ systems (Select all that apply)?
A)The body is supported by the integumentary system.
B)Transport of oxygen is a function of the circulatory system.
C)Secretion of hormones is a function of the endocrine system.
D)The urinary system includes the kidneys and the liver.
E)The complex chemicals of foods are maintained by the digestive system.
F)Parts of the skeletal system protect some parts of the nervous system.

Accepted Answer

B) The circulatory system is responsible for transporting oxygen, nutrients, and waste products throughout the body.
C) The endocrine system is responsible for secreting hormones that regulate various bodily functions.
F) The skeletal system includes bones that protect vital organs, such as the skull protecting the brain and the vertebrae protecting the spinal cord. 
A, D, and E are incorrect statements. The integumentary system supports and protects the body, but it does not provide support in the sense of skeletal support. The urinary system includes the kidneys, ureters, bladder, and urethra, but not the liver. The digestive system breaks down complex chemicals of food, but it does not maintain them.
