Introduction to Anatomy and Physiology Lesson 6.1 Study Questions Questions

Question 1 of 5

Identify the organ system responsible for the production of blood cells.

Correct Answer: C

Rationale: The skeletal system produces blood cells via bone marrow (hematopoiesis), unlike cardiovascular (A, circulation), muscular (B, movement), or integumentary (D, skin). Anatomy links bones to blood formation, confirming C.

Question 2 of 5

A disease that occurs suddenly and usually lasts for only a short time is called:

Correct Answer: C

Rationale: Acute diseases onset rapidly and resolve quickly (e.g., flu), unlike chronic (A, prolonged), systemic (B, widespread), or local (D, limited). Anatomy and medicine use this for temporal classification, confirming C.

Question 3 of 5

Which plane divides the human body into dorsal (back) and ventral (front) or posterior and anterior planes?

Correct Answer: B

Rationale: The coronal plane, divides the body into dorsal (back) and ventral (front), or posterior and anterior sections. Sagittal splits left-right, transverse/horizontal (C, D) upper-lower, and superior isn't a plane. This frontal plane is vital in anatomy for visualizing front-back relationships e.g., sternum anterior to spine used in cross-sectional studies like MRI, confirming B.

Question 4 of 5

Which body system provides the cells of the body with nutrients?

Correct Answer: B

Rationale: The digestive system, breaks down food into nutrients (e.g., glucose) for cells, absorbed via intestines. Respiratory supplies oxygen, cardiovascular transports, endocrine regulates via hormones, and urinary excretes waste. Anatomically, digestion's nutrient extraction e.g., small intestine villi directly feeds cells, distinguishing B as the provider.

Question 5 of 5

Which major organ lies deep to the right hypochondriac region?

Correct Answer: C

Rationale: Situated beneath the right rib cartilage, this organ dominates the upper right abdomen, performing critical roles in detoxification and nutrient processing. Its location below the costal margin places it in the right hypochondriac zone, a key anatomical landmark. Nurses assess this area for conditions like hepatitis, where tenderness or enlargement signals issues. Its position contrasts with organs on the left or more central, making it a focal point for understanding abdominal anatomy and tailoring care to region-specific health needs.
