Human Anatomy Quiz

Anatomy Basics

• The crucial region is located inferior to the popliteal region.
• The nerve impulse travels down an axon, away from the cell body.

Connective Tissue

• Connective tissue is made up 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".
• The frontal/coronal plane divides the body into anterior and posterior.

Body Cavities

• The anterior/superior cavity of the body contains the mediastinum.
• The space formed by the two layers of structures that surround the organs in the posterior cavities prevents friction.

Epithelial Cells

• Epithelial cells can be ciliated, specifically pseudostratified columnar epithelium, simple columnar epithelium, and stratified columnar epithelium.
• Epithelial cells do not have specific characteristics.

Muscle Tissue

• Skeletal muscle tissue is striated and voluntary.

Blood Cells

• True cells found in blood are not platelets, leukocytes, or erythrocytes.

Neurons

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

Anatomical Position

• In the anatomical position, the structure facing anterior is the umbilicus, palms, toes, and thumbs.
• The right shoulder is lateral to the umbilicus.

Organs and Cavities

• An organ in the abdominopelvic cavity that is completely surrounded by the serous membrane is referred to as an intraperitoneal organ.
• The body cavities that contain a serous membrane are not the cranial, thoracic, or vertebral cavities.
• The body cavities that do not have a serous membrane are the vertebral and cranial cavities.

Tissue Types

• An organ contains two or more tissue types.
• Hyaline cartilage connective tissue is characterized by the absence of collagen fibers.

Connective Tissue

• Fibrocartilage is found in the meniscus of the knee.
• The regional name for the left groin is the left inguinal region.
• Dense irregular connective tissue is found in the reticular layer of the dermis.

Integument System

• The ducts of apocrine glands and sebaceous glands in the integument system are associated with hair shafts.
• The ducts of the merocrine or eccrine glands terminate at the surface of the epidermis.
• Non-keratinized stratified squamous epithelium is found in the esophagus and anus.

Ossification

• Intramembranous ossification begins to form bone in the fetus.
• The epiphyseal line and metaphysis separate the ends of a mature long bone from the long shaft.
• There are no blood vessels found in mature cartilage.
