The following are functions of skeletal muscles in the body, except:
Structure
Movement
Heat
Posture
Answer: A
Rationale: Skeletal Muscles move body parts or the body as a whole. They’re responsible for both voluntary and reflex movements. Skeletal muscles
also maintain posture and generate body heat.
Which muscle type is considered voluntary?
Smooth
Cardiac
Epimysium
Skeletal
Answer: D
Rationale: Voluntary muscles are muscles that can be moved at will. The musculoskeletal system consists mostly of skeletal muscle.
Which of the following is not true about the occipital lobe?
It is responsible for processing visual information
It is responsible for hearing and memory
Lesions to this area can cause visual hallucinations D. It is located in the rearmost portion of the skull
Answer: B
Rationale: Temporal lobe is responsible for hearing and memory. The rest of the choices are true about the occipital lobe.
The olfactory nerve contains sensory fibers relating to:
Smell
Vision
,
Hearing
Digestion
Answer: A
Rationale: The olfactory nerve processes our sense of smell. (B) The optic nerve directs vision activity. (C) The vestibulocochlear nerve directs
auditory/hearing function (D) The vagus nerve deals with digestion and the GI tract.
A pea-sized structure located at the base of the brain, just below the hypothalamus is called the:
Adrenal gland
Pineal gland
Pituitary gland
Thyroid gland
Answer: C
Rationale: The pituitary gland is a pea-sized structure located at the base of the brain, just below the hypothalamus. (A) is located at the top of each
kidney. (B), also known as the "pineal body," is located in the center of the brain, which is a fluid-filled space in the brain. (D) is located towards the
front (ventral) of the neck.
The spinal cord is made up of the following order of vertebrae:
Thoracic, Cervical, Lumbar, Sacrum B. Sacral, Lumbar, Cervical, Thoracic
Cervical, Lumbar, Thoracic, Sacrum
Cervical, Thoracic, Lumbar, Sacrum
Answer: D
Rationale: The spinal cord starts with the cervical vertebrae, then the thoracic vertebrae, then the (lower back) lumbar vertebrae, and finally ends with
the sacrum.
Which is the most important risk factor for ankle sprains?
A history of previous ankle sprain
The frequency of driving
Athlete's foot
A short Achilles tendon
,
Answer: A
Rationale: Once you've sprained your ankle, or had another type of ankle injury, you're more likely to sprain it again.
The tibia is _____ to the phalanges.
Dorsal
Proximal
Distal
Ventral
Answer: B
Rationale: The tibia is proximal (closest to the center of the body) in comparison to the phalanges. (A) means behind. (C) is not correct because the
phalanges are distal (farthest away from the center of the body) (D) means in front of and the tibia bone is not in front of the phalanges.
During vigorous activity such as exercise, the body temperature increases. Which of the following actions takes place in the body to keep it at
homeostasis?
Blood flow decreases
Sweating increases
Shivering increases
Shivering decreases
Answer: B
Rationale: Sweating/perspiration is an attempt of the body to release heat in order cool the body and return to homeostasis.
The part of the brain that is involved in primary auditory perception and holds the primary auditory cortex is the:
Frontal lobe
Occipital lobe
Temporal lobe
Parietal lobe.
Answer: C
Rationale: The temporal lobe is involved in primary auditory perception, such as hearing, and holds the primary auditory cortex. (A) The frontal lobe
