Physiology 1: Lesson 1 Exam Q&A 100%
Pass
The organ structures found in the ventral cavity, both thorax and abdomen,
are called __________. - ✔✔Viscera (the internal organs in the main
cavities of the body)
Major structures in the thorax would be... - ✔✔Heart, major blood vessels,
the lungs, and the esophagus.
Major structures/tracts of the abdomen would be... - ✔✔Digestive tract and
all of its organs
Urinary tract and all of its organs
Reproductive tract and all of its organs
The respiratory tract is in the __________________. - ✔✔Cranial thoracic
cavity
The digestive, urinary, and reproductive tract with all of their organs is in
the ________________. - ✔✔Caudal abdominal cavity.
,What is the abdominal cavity peritoneum? - ✔✔A double lining membrane
that folds on itself to become inner lining of the abdominal cavity and the
outer lining of all of the visceral organs in the abdominal cavity
What is the thoracic cavity pleura? - ✔✔The inner lining of the thoracic
cavity that folds on itself to become the outer lining of the lungs and other
structures in the thorax.
pleuritis (pleurisy) - ✔✔inflammation of the pleura
peritonitis - ✔✔inflammation of the peritoneum
Where is peritonitis commonly seen? - ✔✔In horses that may have had
surgery that may not be totally sterile. There is also an infectious peritonitis
in cats.
How are cells, tissues, organs, and systems related? - ✔✔Cells are the
basic structural system of the body. Tissues are groups of cells with
common structure and function. Organs are groups of tissues with common
structure and function. Organ systems are groups of organs with common
structure and function.
connective tissue - ✔✔Tissue that connects, supports, bonds, or separates
other tissues or organs.
, muscle tissue - ✔✔A body tissue that contracts or shortens, making body
parts move.
nervous tissues - ✔✔detect changes in the body and respond by
generating nerve impulses
Health - ✔✔A state of normal anatomy and physiology
Disease- also called pathology- is the result of when... - ✔✔Structures or
functions of the body become abnormal.
Homeostasis (professors definition) - ✔✔The narrow range of normal in the
animals body.
Adipose - ✔✔Fat
Anatomy - ✔✔The study of the form and structure of the animal body and
the relationship among its parts
Anterior - ✔✔Toward the front
Syringe barrel - ✔✔Part of the syringe which holds the medicine
bilateral symmetry - ✔✔Body plan in which only a single, imaginary line can
divide the body into two equal halves.
Brisket disease affects the ________ in cattle. - ✔✔heart
