ANATOMY AND PHYSIOLOGY TEST PAPER QUESTIONS AND SOLUTIONS
GRADED A A+
◉ Abdominopelvic Cavity. Answer: Division of the anterior (ventral)
cavity that houses the abdominal and pelvic viscera.
◉ Anatomical Position. Answer: A standard reference position used for
describing location and directions on the human body.
◉ Anatomy. Answer: Science that studies the form and composition of
the the body's structures.
◉ Anterior Cavity. Answer: Larger body cavity located anterior to the
posterior (dorsal) body cavity; includes the serous membrane-lined
pleural cavities of the lungs, pericardial cavity of the heart, and
peritoneal cavity for the abdominal and pelvic organs; also referred to as
ventral cavity.
◉ Atom. Answer: The basic unit that makes up all matter.
, ◉ Body Plane. Answer: An imaginary lines drawn through the body to
separate the body into sections.
◉ Caudal. Answer: Describes a position below or lower than another
part of the body proper; near or toward the tail (in humans, the coccyx,
or lowest part of the spinal column); also refer to as inferior
◉ Cell. Answer: Smallest independently functioning unit of all
organisms; in animals, it contains cytoplasm, composed of fluid and
organelles
◉ Control Center. Answer: Compares values to their normal range;
deviations cause the activation of an effector
◉ Coronal Section. Answer: Divides the body into dorsal and ventral
(back and front, or posterior and anterior) portions; also referred to as
frontal portion
◉ Cranial. Answer: Describes a position above or higher than another
part of the body proper; also referred to as superior
◉ Cranial Cavity. Answer: Division of the posterior (dorsal) cavity that
houses the brain
