Chapter 1 An Introduction to Anatomy and Physiology Review Questions Questions

Question 1 of 5

The nose is ___ to the chin.

Correct Answer: D

Rationale: The nose is superior (above) the chin in anatomical position, not anterior (A, front, though true in profile), lateral (B, side), or posterior (C, back). Superiority reflects vertical hierarchy on the face, a key anatomical distinction for precise location descriptions.

Question 2 of 5

What is the scientific term for the forearm?

Correct Answer: D

Rationale: Antebrachial refers to the forearm (elbow to wrist), not brachial (A, upper arm), antecubital (B, elbow front), or acromial (C, shoulder). Anatomical terminology precisely names regions, aiding in clinical accuracy like fracture descriptions.

Question 3 of 5

The term antebrachial refers to the:

Correct Answer: C

Rationale: Antebrachial denotes the forearm, not arm (A, brachial), chest, or leg. Repeated from QBA, it reinforces anatomical precision for the elbow-to-wrist region, confirming C.

Question 4 of 5

The cavity that contains the pericardial and pleural cavities is the ___ cavity.

Correct Answer: C

Rationale: The thoracic cavity contains pericardial (heart) and pleural (lungs) cavities, within the ventral cavity, but not dorsal. D overcomplicates; C is precise. Anatomically, thoracic defines the chest's subdivisions, key for understanding organ placement.

Question 5 of 5

The serous membrane that lines the thoracic cavity is the

Correct Answer: B

Rationale: The parietal pleura lines the thoracic cavity's walls, unlike visceral pleura (A, lung surface), visceral pericardium (C, heart), or parietal peritoneum (D, abdominal). Serous membranes reduce friction, and parietal denotes cavity lining in anatomy.
