Emily needs to have her gall bladder removed. Her incision would be in the ___ quadrant of the abdominopelvic cavity.

Correct Answer: C

Rationale: The gallbladder, under the liver, is in the upper right quadrant, not left (A, B) or lower right. Surgical anatomy uses quadrants for precision, guiding incisions like cholecystectomy, making C correct.

Correct Answer: B

Rationale: Systemic diseases affect multiple systems (e.g., diabetes), not chronic (A, long-term), acute (C, short-term), or local (D, confined). Anatomical terminology clarifies disease scope, making B correct.

Correct Answer: B

Rationale: The lungs reside in the thoracic cavity, within the chest, enclosed by the ribcage and diaphragm. The cranial cavity houses the brain, abdominal the stomach, pelvic the bladder, and spinal the spinal cord. Anatomically, the thoracic cavity's pleural subdivisions protect and support lung function breathing making B the correct choice, aligning with respiratory anatomy.

Correct Answer: D

Rationale: The skin, or integumentary system, forms the outer barrier, shielding against pathogens and UV rays. Respiratory breathes, urinary excretes, cardiovascular circulates, and reproductive reproduces none cover externally. Anatomically, skin's layers (epidermis, dermis) regulate temperature and block harm, making D the protective system.

Correct Answer: A

Rationale: Insulin, lowers blood glucose by prompting liver uptake and storage as glycogen. Glucagon raises glucose, pancreas is an organ, response and starch are irrelevant. Anatomically, insulin's role in glucose homeostasis post-meal regulation prevents hyperglycemia, confirming A.
