Correct Answer: A

Rationale: The statement provided in the question is true. Ceroid pigments and lipofuscin are products of cellular damage and aging. These substances accumulate within cells over time and can impair cellular functions, including the ability to withstand the damaging effects of oxygen free radicals. Choice B, 'False,' is incorrect because the accumulation of ceroid pigments and lipofuscin does indeed impair a cell's ability to deal with oxidative stress. Choices C and D are also incorrect as the statement is true.

Correct Answer: A

Rationale: The parietal pericardium is a tough, fibrous outer layer that is attached to the diaphragm and the sternum but not directly to the surface of the heart. It forms a sac around the heart known as the pericardial sac. Therefore, the statement that the parietal pericardium is attached to the surface of the heart is false.

Correct Answer: C

Rationale: Ultrasonography is a medical imaging technique that uses sound waves to visualize internal body structures. It is particularly effective for examining soft tissues like organs, blood vessels, and fetuses. Choice A is incorrect because bones are better visualized using techniques like X-rays. Choice B is incorrect as air-filled organs like lungs are not well visualized with ultrasound due to air being a poor conductor of sound waves. Choice D is incorrect since ultrasonography cannot visualize structures at a microscopic level, as it is used for larger internal structures.

Correct Answer: B

Rationale: In the anatomical position, the palms are facing forward, not backward. Choice A is correct because the head is indeed facing to the front. Choice C is correct as the body is erect. Choice D is correct as the upper limbs are positioned at the sides. Therefore, the incorrect statement is that the palms are facing forward.

Correct Answer: B

Rationale: Chromosomes do not get longer as a cell ages. In fact, chromosomes condense and become more compact during cell division to ensure proper segregation. Choice A is incorrect because chromosomes do not elongate with age. Choice C is not the correct answer as there is scientific evidence to support that chromosomes do not lengthen over time. Choice D is not the right option as the correct answer is 'False' in this case.
