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.
