Introduction to Anatomy and Physiology Lesson 6.1 Study Questions Questions

Question 1 of 5

The plane that divides a body part into anterior and posterior sections is the ___ plane.

Correct Answer: C

Rationale: The frontal (coronal) plane divides anterior (front) and posterior (back), not sagittal (B, left-right) or transverse (implied). A and C overlap terms, but C alone is standard. This plane's use in anatomy, like frontal brain sections, makes it correct.

Question 2 of 5

Which of the following is NOT found in the abdominopelvic cavity?

Correct Answer: A

Rationale: The abdominopelvic cavity houses stomach, liver, and bladder, but not the heart, which is thoracic. Anatomy's cavity division ensures organ placement clarity, with the heart above the diaphragm.

Question 3 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 4 of 5

Which membrane inflammation is correctly matched with the organ involved?

Correct Answer: B

Rationale: Meningitis inflames meninges around the brain and spinal cord, unlike pericarditis (heart), pleurisy (lungs), or peritonitis (abdomen). Anatomical membrane specificity ensures accurate diagnosis, making B correct.

Question 5 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.
