A&P 1 101 MODULE 8 FINAL STUDY PAPER 2026
COMPLETE QUESTIONS AND ANSWERS
◉ Frontal Planes (Coronal Plane). Answer: like sagittal plane lie
vertically, divide body into anterior and posterior parts
◉ Transverse/Horizontal Plane. Answer: runs horizontally from
right to left, dividing the body into superior and inferior parts.
(Transverse is perpendicular to long axis of an organ, horizontal is
from front to back)
◉ Oblique Sections. Answer: cuts made diagonally between the
horizontal and the vertical planes
◉ Dorsal Body Cavity. Answer: protects the fragile nervous system
organs, has 2 subdivisions
◉ Cranial Cavity. Answer: in the skull, encases the brain
◉ Vertebral Cavity (Spinal Cavity). Answer: runs within the bony
vertebral column, encloses the delicate spinal cord
,◉ Ventral Body Cavity. Answer: the more anterior and larger of the
closed body cavities, has 2 major subdivisions, houses internal
organs called Viscera
◉ Thoracic Cavity. Answer: surrounded by the ribs and muscles of
the chest
◉ Pleural Cavities. Answer: lateral subdivision of Thoracic Cavity,
enveloping a lung, and the Medial Mediastinum
◉ Pericardial Cavity. Answer: encloses the heart and also surrounds
the the remaining thoracic organs (esophagus, trachea, and others)
◉ Abdominopelvic Cavity. Answer: seperated from thoracic cavity by
the diaphram, a dome shaped muscle important in breathing. Has
abdominal and pelvic cavities
◉ Abdominal Cavity. Answer: Contains stomach, intestines, spleen,
and liver, and other organs
◉ Pelvic Cavity. Answer: Contains urinary bladder, reproductive
organs, and rectum
, ◉ Serosa (Serous Membrane). Answer: the walls of the ventral body
cavity and the outer surfaces of the organs it contains are covered by
this thin double layered membrane
◉ Parietal Serosa. Answer: lines internal body walls
◉ Visceral Serosa. Answer: covers the internal organs
◉ Abdominopelvic Regions. Answer: Nine divisions used primarily
by anatomists
◉ What is the principle of complementarity?. Answer: anatomy and
physiology are inseparable, the function always refects structure and
what a structure can do depends on its specific form.
◉ In what way does physiology depend of anatomy?. Answer: the
operation or function of a structure is dictated by its anatomy
◉ What separates living beings from nonliving objects?. Answer:
Living organisms are able to maintain their boundaries, move,
respond to environmental change, digest nutrients, carry out
metabolism, dispose of wastes, reproduce and grow. while inanimate
objects do not exhibit all of these
