Chapter 1 An Introduction to Anatomy and Physiology Review Questions Questions
Question 1 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 2 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 3 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.
Question 4 of 5
A small child states that their stomach hurts but points to their umbilical region. Most likely the pain is originating from the:
Correct Answer: C
Rationale: The umbilical region centers on the small intestine, not liver (A, upper right), gallbladder (B, right), or stomach (D, upper left). A child's vague stomach' pain often reflects intestinal issues, common anatomically in this area.
Question 5 of 5
Identify the system that removes nitrogenous wastes from the blood.
Correct Answer: A
Rationale: The urinary system (kidneys) removes nitrogenous wastes (e.g., urea), not cardiovascular (B, circulation), endocrine (C, hormones), or digestive (D, food). Anatomically, kidneys filter blood, a key excretory role, confirming A.
