A

Sagittal
Coronal
Transverse

22
Q

What is the difference between Systemic Anatomy and Systemic Physiology?

TRUE

24
Q

Two types of serous membranes

A

Parietal serosa
Visceral serosa

25
Q

Major goals of physiology

A

(1) To understand and predict the body’s responses to stimuli.
(2) To understand how the body maintains conditions within a narrow range of values in the presence of continually changing internal and external environment.

26
Q

What are the essential functions of the body cavities?

A

It protect organs from shocks and impacts. It allow organs to change in size and shape as they move and work.

27
Q

Give two major organs from the integumentary system.

A

Skin, hair

28
Q

This system produces body movements, maintains posture, and produces body heat.

A

Muscular System

29
Q

Elimination of excess water, salts and waste products are functions of the ________ system.

A

Urinary System

30
Q

What structure divides the thoracic cavity into two parts?

A

Mediastinum

31
Q

A male is shot in the left side, the bullet travels into the left lung, and the bullet lodges in the heart. Identify in correct order the serous membranes and the cavities through which the bullet travels.

A

When the bullet exits the lung, it penetrates in the PLEURA, PLEURAL CAVITY, and thus the PARIETAL PLEURA. The PARIETAL PERICARDIUM, PERICARDIAL CAVITY, VISCERAL PERICARDIUM and HEART are then encountered.

32
Q

It describes a position above or higher than another part of the body proper.

A

Superior

33

A

•Right-upper quadrant
•Left-upper quadrant
•Right-lower quadrant
•Left-lower quadrant

37
Q

Define the two major subtypes of anatomy

A

There are two major types of anatomy. Gross (macroscopic) anatomy is the study of anatomical structures that can be seen by the naked eye, such as the external and internal bodily organs. Microscopic anatomy is the study of tiny anatomical structures such as tissues and cells.
