Anatomy and Physiology Quiz

Anatomy Regions

• The crual region is located inferior to the popliteal region

Nerve Impulse

• The nerve impulse travels down an axon, away from the cell body

Connective Tissue

• Connective tissue is made of three essential components: cells, ground substance, and protein fibers

Directional Terms

• The directional term that pairs with and is opposite to prone is supine

Body Cavity

• The anterior/superior cavity of the body contains the mediastinum
• The pleural membrane is a structure that surrounds the organs in the posterior cavities
• The space formed by the two layers of the structures that surround the organs in the posterior cavities contains a fluid that prevents friction

Anatomical Projections

• The anatomical terms for projections for tendon and ligament attachment are line, crest, and tuberosity

Body Planes

• The Frontal/Coronal plane divides the body into anterior and posterior sections

Epithelial Tissue

• Pseudostratified columnar epithelium, simple columnar epithelium, and stratified columnar epithelium can be ciliated

Muscle Tissue

• Skeletal muscle tissue is striated and voluntary

Neurons

• The part of a neuron that receives input is the dendrite

Anatomical Position

• In the anatomical position, the umbilicus, palms, and toes are facing anterior

Serous Membrane

• An organ in the abdominopelvic cavity that is completely surrounded by the serous membrane is referred to as an intraperitoneal organ

Bone Structure

• An anatomic term that indicates an opening or passageway through a bone is a foramen or meatus

Body Cavities

• The vertebral cavity and cranial cavity do not have a serous membrane
• The thoracic cavity, abdominopelvic cavity, and pelvic cavity contain a serous membrane

Organ Composition

• An organ contains two or more tissue types

Intercalated Discs

• Gap junctions are found in intercalated discs

Anatomical Relations

• The right shoulder is lateral to the umbilicus (belly button)

Connective Tissue

• Hyaline cartilage connective tissue is not predominantly composed of collagen fibers
• Fibrocartilage is found in the meniscus of the knee

Regional Anatomy

• The left groin is referred to as the left inguinal region

Body Sections

• If the body is divided into right and left portions, this is a sagittal section

Plasma Composition

• Plasma is composed of dissolved proteins and water

Goblet Cells

• Goblet cells produce mucin

Smooth Muscle

• A smooth muscle cell has one nucleus

Abdominopelvic Regions

• The most inferior, singular region of the abdominopelvic regions is the hypogastric region

Serous Membrane

• The visceral layer of a serous membrane covers the organs within the cavity

Dermis

• Dense irregular connective tissue is found in the reticular layer of the dermis

Integument System

• Non-keratinized stratified squamous epithelium is found in the esophagus and anus

Singular Cavities

• The pericardial, cranial, and pleural cavities are singular cavities in the body

Skin Layers

• The epidermis and hypodermis are layers of skin, not layers of the integument system

Glands

• The ducts of apocrine and sebaceous glands are associated with hair shafts
• The ducts of merocrine or eccrine glands terminate at the surface of the epidermis

Epidermis

• The stratum spinosum and stratum corneum are layers of the epidermis found in the skin of the back

Ossification

• Intramembranous ossification begins to form bone in the fetus

Bone Structure

• The epiphyseal line and metaphysis separate the ends of a mature long bone from the long shaft

Cartilage

• There are no blood vessels found in mature cartilage
