MBLEX FINAL SCRIPT 2026 COMPLETE
SOLUTION SET
◉ Proximal. Answer: Closer to the midline
◉ Distal. Answer: Further away from the midline
◉ Medial. Answer: Middle
◉ Lateral. Answer: Side
◉ Deep. Answer: More internal
◉ Superficial. Answer: Towards the surface
◉ Sagittal. Answer: Splits the body into left and right
◉ Midsagittal. Answer: Splits the body into equal left and right sides,
runs down the midline of the body.
◉ Transverse/Horizontal. Answer: Splits the body into superior and
inferior
,◉ Frontal/Coronal. Answer: Splits the body into anterior and
posterior
◉ Central Body Region. Answer: Contains the head, neck, and trunk
◉ Trunk. Answer: Can be split into 3 separate regions: Thorax,
abdomen, and pelvis
◉ Thorax. Answer: Contains most major internal organs, such as the
heart and lungs
◉ Abdomen. Answer: Contains the majority of the digestive organs,
including the stomach, liver, gallbladder, pancreas, small/large
intestine, kidneys, and spleen.
◉ Pelvis. Answer: Contains internal reproductive organs and the
urinary bladder
◉ Upper Limb. Answer: Consists of the arm, forearm, wrist, and
hand. (humerus, radius, ulna, carpals, metacarpals, and phalanges)
◉ Lower Limb. Answer: Consists of the thigh, leg, ankle, and foot.
(Femur, tibia, fibula, tarsals, metatarsals, and phalanges)
,◉ Tissue. Answer: There are 4 types of tissue in the human body:
Epithelial, Nervous, Muscular, and Connective
◉ Epithelial Tissue. Answer: Forms most glands, the digestive tract,
respiratory tract, and epidermis. Epithelial tissue protects the body,
absorbs nutrients, and secretes substances. Epithelial tissue is
avascular
◉ Nervous Tissue. Answer: Forms the brain, spinal cord, and nerves.
Allows for sensation, mental activity, and movement of skeletal
muscle.
◉ Neuron. Answer: Nerve cell that receives action potentials
◉ Dendrites. Answer: Branch-like projections that bring action
potentials into a neuron.
◉ Axon. Answer: Projection coming off of a neuron the carries action
potentials away from the neuron.
◉ Muscular Tissue. Answer: There are 3 types of muscle: Skeletal,
Cardiac, and Smooth
, ◉ Skeletal muscle. Answer: Connects to the skeleton and allows
voluntary movement.
◉ Cardiac muscle. Answer: Muscle of the heart, responsible for
pumping blood throughout the body.
◉ Smooth muscle. Answer: Found in the skin and digestive tract.
Responsible for actions such as peristalsis and temperature
regulation via arrector pili muscles.
◉ Connective Tissue. Answer: Responsible for actions such as
separating structure, connecting structures, transporting the
nutrients, insulating the body, and protecting the body.
◉ Blast Cells. Answer: Build connective tissue
◉ Clast Cells. Answer: Break down connective tissue
◉ Types of connective tissue. Answer: Bone, cartilage, tendons,
ligaments, fascia, adipose, serous membranes, and blood.
◉ Blood. Answer: Consists of erythrocytes, leukocytes,
thrombocytes, and plasma.
