Introduction to Anatomy and Physiology Lesson 1.1 Study Questions Questions
Question 1 of 5
The term sural refers to the:
Correct Answer: A
Rationale: Sural refers to the calf (posterior lower leg), not forearm, kneecap (C, patellar), or thigh (D, femoral). This term's use in anatomy specifies regions, like sural nerve pathways, making A correct.
Question 2 of 5
The serous membrane covering the heart is the
Correct Answer: D
Rationale: The visceral pericardium covers the heart's surface, unlike parietal pleura (A, lungs), parietal pericardium (B, heart sac), or visceral peritoneum (C, abdominal organs). Visceral layers adhere to organs, a precise anatomical distinction.
Question 3 of 5
The stomach would lie in the ___ quadrant of the abdominopelvic cavity.
Correct Answer: A
Rationale: The stomach is in the upper left quadrant, below the diaphragm, left of midline, unlike lower left, upper right, or lower right. Quadrant mapping in anatomy pinpoints organs for diagnosis, confirming A.
Question 4 of 5
Identify the system that consists of the glands that secrete hormones.
Correct Answer: D
Rationale: The endocrine system (e.g., thyroid) secretes hormones, unlike integumentary (A, skin), cardiovascular (B, circulation), or digestive (C, food). Anatomy ties glands to regulation e.g., insulin from pancreas making D correct.
Question 5 of 5
What is the mechanism called which brings about an increasing change in the same direction?
Correct Answer: B
Rationale: Positive feedback amplifies change (e.g., childbirth contractions), unlike homeostasis (A, stability), negative feedback (C, reversal), or homeothermic (D, temperature). Anatomy highlights this in rare escalating processes, confirming B.
