Introduction to Anatomy and Physiology Lesson 2.1 Study Questions Questions
Question 1 of 5
The female reproductive system includes which body parts?
Correct Answer: B
Rationale: The female reproductive system includes ovaries, not testes (A, male), femur (C, bone), or thyroid (D, endocrine). Anatomically, ovaries produce eggs, central to female reproduction, confirming B.
Question 2 of 5
The lungs are situated within which body cavity?
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.
Question 3 of 5
The body system that provides an outer covering that protects the body from the external environment is:
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.
Question 4 of 5
Which hormone helps to maintain glucose homeostasis by stimulating liver cells to take up and remove additional glucose?
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.
Question 5 of 5
Which of the following is the best definition of physiology?
Correct Answer: B
Rationale: Physiology explores the body's operational mechanisms how systems like circulation or respiration function in health. It's a dynamic science, revealing processes that sustain life, from nerve impulses to digestion. Nurses rely on this knowledge to support normal function like monitoring breathing rates distinguishing it from structural or cellular focuses. This broad inquiry into how' underpins medical interventions, ensuring treatments align with the body's natural workings for optimal outcomes.
