Which of the following terms is NOT used to identify a region of the abdomen?

Correct Answer: D

Rationale: Abdominal regions like left hypochondriac, hypogastric, epigastric map the front, but right sacral' ties to the posterior pelvis, not the abdomen's anterior nine-zone grid. Nurses use these zones for organ localization like epigastric pain for stomach issues excluding sacral, which fits spinal or pelvic contexts.

Correct Answer: B

Rationale: The four principal tissue types are nervous, epithelial, muscle, and connective . Bone is a connective tissue subtype, not a principal category. Anatomically, connective tissue includes bone, cartilage, and blood, supporting diverse functions, while the four types classify broadly nervous conducts, epithelial covers, muscle moves excluding B as a standalone type.

Correct Answer: D

Rationale: The antebrachium is the forearm (elbow to wrist), not chest, hand, shoulder, or arm broadly (D, brachium). Anatomical terms pinpoint regions antebrachial arteries supply this area ensuring precision.

Correct Answer: B

Rationale: Hormones regulate distantly via blood (e.g., insulin), unlike cells, ions, impulses (D, nerves), or neurotransmitters (E, synapses). Anatomically, endocrine glands (e.g., thyroid) use hormones for homeostasis, confirming B.

Correct Answer: C

Rationale: The diaphragm's upper surface faces parietal pleura (thoracic), lower faces parietal peritoneum (abdominal). Visceral layers (A, B, D) cover organs, not cavity walls. Anatomically, parietal membranes line cavities above and below the diaphragm, reducing friction, making C correct.
