,chapter 1. the human body: an orientation
choose the one alternative that best completes the statement or answers the question.
multiple choice.
1) a section that divides the body on the longitudinal plane into equal right and left parts is called:
a) median (midsagittal)
b) oblique
c) transverse
d) frontal
e) coronal
answer: a)
the median or midsagittal plane divides the body into equal right and left halves. other planes such as transverse
(horizontal) and frontal (vertical) divide the body differently, while oblique refers to any angled cut.
2) which of the following is the correct sequence, going from simplest to most complex, in the levels of
structural organization of the human body:
a) chemical level, tissue level, cellular level, organ system level, organ level, organismal level
b) cellular level, chemical level, tissue level, organ system level, organismal level, organ level
c) chemical level, cellular level, tissue level, organ level, organ system level, organismal level
d) cellular level, chemical level, tissue level, organ level, organ system level, organismal level
e) cellular level, tissue level, chemical level, organ level, organ system level, organismal level
answer: c)
this sequence accurately reflects the organization from basic chemical structures (atoms and molecules) to
cells, then to tissues, organs, organ systems, and finally the organism as a whole.
3) which of these regions are associated with the parts of the arm:
a) femoral, popliteal, patellar
b) brachial, antecubital, carpal
c) nasal, oral, occipital
d) pelvic, pubic, inguinal
e) acromial, sacral, gluteal
answer: b)
the brachial region pertains to the arm, the antecubital is the front of the elbow, and the carpal refers to the
wrist. the other options list regions related to other body parts.
4) the muscular system consists of the:
a) muscles in the walls of hollow organs
b) muscles of the heart and those in the walls of the hollow organs
c) skeletal muscles
d) skeletal muscles and the muscles of the heart
e) muscles of the heart
answer: c)
the muscular system primarily consists of skeletal muscles, which are under voluntary control. while cardiac
muscle (heart) and smooth muscle (in hollow organs) are important, they are not classified under the
muscular system in the same context.
, 5) the lymphatic system:
a) synthesizes vitamin d
b) responds to internal and external changes by activating appropriate muscles and glands
c) secretes hormones that regulate processes such as growth, reproduction, and nutrient use (metabolism) by
body cells
d) picks up fluid leaked from blood vessels and returns it to the blood
e) produces heat
answer: d)
the lymphatic system's primary function is to maintain fluid balance by returning interstitial fluid to the
bloodstream. the other options describe functions of other systems (e.g., endocrine).
6) which system covers the external surface of the body and manufactures vitamin d:
a) endocrine system
b) skeletal system
c) nervous system
d) integumentary system
e) lymphatic system
answer: d)
the integumentary system includes the skin and its appendages. it protects the body and plays a crucial role in
synthesizing vitamin d when exposed to sunlight.
7) which of these regions are not associated with the ventral (anterior) portion of the head:
a) oral
b) orbital
c) buccal
d) nasal
e) occipital
answer: e)
the occipital region is located at the back (posterior) of the head, whereas the oral, orbital, buccal, and nasal
regions are all part of the anterior (front) portion of the head.
8) which of the following systems is matched most accurately to the life function it provides:
a) respiratory system - digestion
b) nervous system - excretion
c) muscular system - maintaining boundaries
d) integumentary system - movement
e) nervous system - responsiveness
answer: e)
the nervous system is responsible for the body's responsiveness to stimuli, allowing for quick reactions. the
other options inaccurately associate systems with functions they do not primarily perform.
9) which of the following elements of a control system detects a change:
a) receptor
b) control center
c) effector
d) stimulus
e) efferent pathway
answer: a)
the receptor is the component of a control system that senses changes (stimuli) in the environment and sends
that information to the control center.
10) which of the following statements is correct regarding the location of the spleen and stomach:
a) both of these organs are located medially
