Introduction to Anatomy and Physiology Lesson 1.1 Study Questions Questions
Question 1 of 4
If an anatomist wanted to depict the structural relationship of the trachea, esophagus, neck muscles, and a vertebra within the neck, which body plane would be most appropriate?
Correct Answer: C
Rationale: A transverse plane cuts horizontally, showing trachea, esophagus, muscles, and vertebra in cross-section at neck level, unlike sagittal (A, E, left-right), coronal (B, front-back), or vague vertical. Anatomically, this reveals spatial relationships e.g., trachea anterior to vertebra ideal for imaging, confirming C.
Question 2 of 4
Acids are best considered to be:
Correct Answer: B
Rationale: Acids are proton (Hâº) donors 's acid' definition, releasing H⺠in solution e.g., HCl. Bases accept Hâº, buffers stabilize pH, and proton acceptors misalign. Anatomically, this impacts pH balance e.g., lactic acid in muscles lowers pH crucial for cellular function, making B correct.
Question 3 of 4
The nurse is teaching a client about bone fractures. The nurse explains that the type of cells present in the bone matrix are referred to as:
Correct Answer: A
Rationale: Osteoblasts form bone matrix, depositing collagen and minerals, per options 5-8. Fibroblasts make connective tissue, chondroblasts cartilage, hemocytoblasts blood cells. Anatomically, osteoblasts build compact bone, essential for fracture healing, confirming A.
Question 4 of 4
The nurse is teaching a client how the heart works. When explaining that the heart's contraction is caused by electrical stimulation, the nurse recalls that which type of tissue generates electrical signals?
Correct Answer: A
Rationale: Nervous tissue generates electrical signals (e.g., via cardiac pacemaker cells), per options B5-B8, triggering heart muscle contraction. Epithelial covers, connective supports, muscle contracts not signals. Anatomically, the sinoatrial node (nervous) initiates beats, making A correct.
