    Study Notes

    Multiple Choice Questions (Exam 1)

    • Question 1: The most accurate description of the location of the "blood-pumping" organ is Caudal to the "parachute" shaped muscle.

    • Question 2: Ovulation is associated with the release of an oocyte into the peritoneal cavity.

    • Question 3: The most distal structure, referenced by the "sword-shaped bone," is Fibrocartilage deep to a Sesamoid Bone.

    • Question 4: Linea ablicantes are associated with Excess Adipose Tissue.

    • Question 5: Removal of nitrogenous waste products is not related to the axillary region.

    • Question 6: Albinism is characterized by melanocytes that are present but enzymatically nonfunctional and is sometimes called "pallor."

    • Question 7: Epiphyses is not associated with Amanda's condition (concave nails).

    • Question 8: Found in the mediastinum is false about hyaline cartilage.

    • Question 9: Erythema covering the ventral trunk, anterior head and neck, and anterior upper extremities represents 31.5% of the body.

    • Question 10: Submersion in water can cause vasoconstriction.

    • Question 11: Structures not damaged in capital punishment are Hematopoietic osseous structures.

    • Question 12: The injured structure producing anti bacterial enzymes is hyaline cartilage.

    • Question 13: Decreasing friction is a true statement about integumentary features.

    • Question 14: The perineal structure, longer in males, is the Perineal Raphe.

    • Question 15: The inferior bone along the midsagittal plane anterior to the mediastinum is the Xiphoid.

    • Question 16: Erythropoietin promotes erythrocyte production, and is produced by the Kidneys.

    • Question 17: Vitiligo is a disease that causes autoimmune melanocyte destruction.

    • Question 18: Hair is scientifically named Pili and the associated muscles are Arrector Pili Muscles.

    • Question 19: Culdocentesis is a procedure that removes material from the rectouterine pouch, passing through the Vaginal Wall.

    • Question 20: Vitamin C is necessary for collagen synthesis and collagen fibers are found in the Stratum Reticularosum.

    • Question 21: A procedure for analyzing blood cell production is Bone Marrow Biopsy.

    Essay Question

    • Female reproductive systems are susceptible to cancers; a tumor is a neoplasm, and the process of cells reverting to a less specialized state is called dedifferentiation and when those cells spread it is called metastasis.

    • The full name of the procedure to check the cervix for cells is Papanicolaou Smear and the tool used is a speculum. Contraction of the Human Papilloma Virus (HPV) can increase the risk of cervical cancer.

    • Placenta Percreta is a condition where the placenta develops through the uterine wall, sometimes into other structures.

    • Ectopic pregnancy occurs when a fertilised egg implants outside the uterus, potentially affecting the suspensory ligaments (ovarian stalk).
