Introduction to Anatomy and Physiology Lesson 1.1 Study Questions Questions
Question 1 of 5
What is the scientific term for the mouth?
Correct Answer: A
Rationale: Oral denotes the mouth, unlike mental (B, chin), buccal (C, cheek), or otic (D, ear). This term's specificity in anatomy ensures clear communication, such as in dental contexts, making A correct.
Question 2 of 5
The vertebral canal and cranial cavity is located within the ___ cavity.
Correct Answer: B
Rationale: The dorsal cavity includes the cranial (brain) and vertebral (spinal cord) cavities, not ventral (A, front), abdominopelvic, or cranial alone. This posterior grouping in anatomy protects the central nervous system, making B correct.
Question 3 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 4 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 5 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.
