A) left upper quadrant
B) right lower quadrant
C) right upper quadrant
D) left lower quadrant

Accepted Answer

The stomach is primarily located in the left upper quadrant of the abdominopelvic cavity, although it can extend into other quadrants depending on its fullness and the individual's anatomy.

Question 2

A cut that passes parallel through the long axis of the body and divides the body into equal left and right halves is known as a ________.

Accepted Answer

A cut that passes parallel through the long axis of the body and divides the body into equal left and right halves is known as a midsagittal cut. A coronal cut divides the body into anterior and posterior portions, a parasagittal cut is a sagittal cut off-center that produces unequal left and right portions, and a frontal cut divides the body into dorsal and ventral portions.

Accepted Answer

The abdominopelvic region is divided into nine regions: right hypochondriac, epigastric, left hypochondriac, right lumbar, umbilical, left lumbar, right iliac, hypogastric, and left iliac.

Question 4

A) eyes are straight ahead
B) feet are facing forward
C) palms of the hands are facing backward
D) palms are the hands are facing forward

Accepted Answer

In proper anatomical position, the palms of the hands should be facing forward, not backward.

Question 6

The serous membrane of the lungs is called the ________.
A) pericardium
B) pleura
C) peritoneum
D) periosteum

Accepted Answer

The serous membrane surrounding the lungs is called the pleura. The pericardium surrounds the heart, the peritoneum lines the abdominal cavity, and the periosteum covers bones.

Question 7

The layer of the serous membrane that is directly attached to the internal organ is the ________.
A) peritoneum
B) parietal layer
C) pericardium
D) visceral layer

Accepted Answer

The visceral layer is the layer of the serous membrane that is directly attached to the internal organ. The parietal layer lines the cavity wall, while the peritoneum and pericardium are specific examples of serous membranes found in the abdominopelvic and thoracic cavities, respectively.

Question 8

Which two cavities are continuous with each other?
A) pericardial and pleural
B) thoracic and abdominopelvic
C) the two pleural cavities
D) cranial and spinal

Accepted Answer

The answer of Which two cavities are continuous with each...

Question 9

All the following are found on the ventral side of the body EXCEPT the ________.
A) shoulder blade
B) navel
C) knees
D) sternum

Accepted Answer

The shoulder blade (scapula) is located on the dorsal (back) side of the body, whereas the navel, knees, and sternum are on the ventral (front) side.

Question 10

A ________ section divides a body or organ into right and left portions.
A) transverse
B) frontal
C) sagittal
D) coronal

Accepted Answer

A sagittal section divides a body or organ into right and left portions. Transverse sections divide the body or organ into superior and inferior portions, frontal sections divide it into anterior and posterior portions, and coronal sections are synonymous with frontal sections.

Question 11

All the following structures are inferior to the hips EXCEPT the ________.
A) knees
B) thighs
C) waist
D) feet

Accepted Answer

The waist is located above the hips, making it the only option listed that is not inferior (below) to the hips. The knees, thighs, and feet are all located below the hips.

Question 12

The following are all regions of the upper limb EXCEPT ________.
A) pollex
B) axillary
C) brachial
D) antecubital

Accepted Answer

Pollex refers to the thumb, which is not a region of the upper limb but rather a part of the hand. The other options (axillary, brachial, antecubital) refer to regions of the upper limb.

Question 13

Which structure is medial to the eyes?
A) ears
B) nose
C) eyebrows
D) shoulders

Accepted Answer

The nose is located in the middle of the face, between the eyes, and is therefore medial to the eyes. The ears are lateral to the eyes, the eyebrows are superior to the eyes, and the shoulders are outside the head and not connected to the eyes in any way.

Question 14

Which type of section would separate superior and inferior structures?
A) transverse
B) sagittal
C) frontal
D) coronal

Accepted Answer

A transverse section would cut across the body horizontally and separate superior and inferior structures. B) and D) would separate the body into front and back portions, while C) would separate it into left and right portions.

Question 15

All of the following are inferior to the umbilical region EXCEPT the ________.
A) urinary bladder
B) hypogastric region
C) pubic region
D) epigastric region

Accepted Answer

The epigastric region is superior to the umbilical region, while the urinary bladder, hypogastric region, and pubic region are all inferior.

Question 16

The ventral body cavity is divided into two major cavities, the superior ________ cavity and the inferior ________ cavity.
A) mediastinum; abdominal
B) thoracic; abdominopelvic
C) abdominal; pelvic
D) thoracic; pericardial

Accepted Answer

The ventral body cavity is divided into two major cavities, the superior thoracic cavity (which contains the heart, lungs, and other structures) and the inferior abdominopelvic cavity (which is further divided into the abdominal cavity and the pelvic cavity). Therefore, option B is the correct answer. Option A is incorrect because the mediastinum is a region within the thoracic cavity, not a separate cavity. Option C is incorrect because it separates the abdominal and pelvic cavities, which are both within the abdominopelvic cavity. Option D is incorrect because the pericardial cavity is a small, fluid-filled space within the thoracic cavity that surrounds the heart, but it is not a major cavity.

Question 17

What is the function of the serous fluid?
A) increase friction
B) reduce friction
C) supplies nutrients to the organs
D) absorb shock when the organs move

Accepted Answer

The function of serous fluid is to reduce friction between membranes, allowing organs to move smoothly and easily without damage.

Question 18

Which type of section would separate the anterior and posterior?
A) transverse
B) frontal
C) parasagittal
D) midsagittal

Accepted Answer

The frontal (or coronal) section divides the body into anterior (front) and posterior (back) parts.

Question 19

All the following structures are superior to the hips EXCEPT the ________.
A) shoulders
B) thighs
C) head
D) stomach

Accepted Answer

The thighs are located inferior to the hips, whereas the shoulders, head, and stomach are all superior to the hips in anatomical position.

Question 20

What type of section is perpendicular to the vertical orientation of the body?
A) transverse
B) midsagittal
C) frontal
D) oblique

Accepted Answer

Transverse sections (also known as horizontal sections) are perpendicular to the vertical orientation of the body, dividing it into upper and lower parts.
