Comprehensive Anatomy and Physiology
Exam Questions and Answers Graded A+
What are examples of systemic anatomy? - Correct answer-skeletal, muscular,
nervous, circulatory, respiratory, digestive, integumentary, urinary, reproductive
and endocrine
Describe the integumentary system - Correct answer-Skin, which is involved in
protection, containment, thermal regulation, sensation, vitamin D synthesis and
storage
What are the types of fascia? - Correct answer-superficial fascia, deep fascia,
investing fascia
What is fascia? - Correct answer-connective tissue for wrapping, packing or
insulating structures of the body deep to the skin.
What type of tissue is the superficial fascia? - Correct answer-sub Q tissue
What is deep fascia composed of? - Correct answer-fascial compartments and
intermuscular septa
What are the two types of skeleton? - Correct answer-axial and appendicular
,What is the axial skeleton composed of? - Correct answer-skull, vertebrae, sacrum,
coccyx, ribs, sternum
What is the appendicular skeleton composed of? - Correct answer-shoulder
(pectoral) girdle, upper limb, pelvic girdle, and lower limb
What is cartilage composed of in the skeletal system? - Correct answer-semirigid
connective tissue
What are the two types of skeletal cartilage? - Correct answer-costal and articular
cartilage
What are bones composed of in the skeletal system? - Correct answer-rigid
connective tissue
What is the role of the bone in the skeletal system? - Correct answer-support,
protection, mechanical basis for movement, storage, hematopoiesis
What are the two types of muscular movement ? - Correct answer-voluntary and
involuntary
Give an example of voluntary muscles - Correct answer-skeletal muscles- that
move/stabilize bones and other structures (eyeballs).
What is the role of voluntary muscles? - Correct answer-Attachment sites, blood
supply, innervation, action
, Give an example of involuntary muscles - Correct answer-cardiac (walls of the
heart) and smooth (in many structures including blood vessels of GI tract)
What are the parts of the cardiovascular system? - Correct answer-heart and blood
vessels, pulmonary circulation, and systemic circulation
Describe the flow of oxygenated blood. - Correct answer-Lungs -> pulmonary
veins into left atrium -> left ventricle -> systemic arteries
Describe the flow of deoxygenated blood. - Correct answer-systemic capillary beds
-> systemic veins -> right atrium -> right ventricle -> pulmonary arteries
What has valves in limbs and other locations where blood flow is opposed by
gravity? - Correct answer-veins
What do valves in veins prevent? - Correct answer-backflow of venous blood due
to gravity or internal pressure
What is the musculovenous pump? - Correct answer-when limb muscles contract,
they compress veins. Blood is pushed proximally toward the heart. One-way valves
prevent reflux of blood distally.
How are blood vessels are named? - Correct answer-based on where they
deliver/drain blood not where the branch forms
What can vasculature branching patterns be? - Correct answer-highly variable
