ANATOMY & PHYSIOLOGY I — FINAL EXAMINATION Questions 1 – 40
1. True/False: The abdominal cavity houses the spleen and bladder.
A. True
B. False
CORRECT ANSWER B — False (Spleen is abdominal; bladder is PELVIC cavity)
RATIONALE The spleen is located in the left upper quadrant of the abdominal cavity. The
urinary bladder is located in the pelvic cavity, inferior to the abdominal cavity.
They are in different body cavities.
,2. True/False: The cranial cavity houses the brain and spinal cord.
A. True
B. False
CORRECT ANSWER B — False (Cranial = brain only; spinal cord is in the VERTEBRAL cavity)
RATIONALE The cranial cavity contains the brain. The spinal cord is housed in the vertebral
(spinal) cavity. Together they form the dorsal body cavity.
3. True/False: The ventral cavity primarily protects the nervous system organs.
A. True
B. False
CORRECT ANSWER B — False (DORSAL cavity protects nervous system; ventral houses viscera)
RATIONALE The DORSAL cavity (cranial + vertebral) protects the brain and spinal cord. The
VENTRAL cavity (thoracic + abdominopelvic) houses visceral organs like the heart,
lungs, and digestive organs.
4. True/False: The dorsal cavity primarily protects the nervous system organs.
A. True
B. False
CORRECT ANSWER A — True (Dorsal = cranial + vertebral cavities)
RATIONALE The dorsal body cavity includes the cranial cavity (brain) and vertebral/spinal
cavity (spinal cord) — both components of the central nervous system.
, 5. True/False: The thoracic cavity contains the lungs and stomach.
A. True
B. False
CORRECT ANSWER B — False (Thoracic = lungs + heart; stomach is ABDOMINAL cavity)
RATIONALE The thoracic cavity contains the lungs (pleural cavities) and heart (pericardial
cavity within mediastinum). The stomach is in the abdominal cavity, separated
from the thoracic cavity by the diaphragm.
6. True/False: The abdominal cavity houses the spleen and liver.
A. True
B. False
CORRECT ANSWER A — True (Both spleen and liver are abdominal organs)
RATIONALE The spleen is in the left upper quadrant. The liver is primarily in the right upper
quadrant. Both are located within the abdominal cavity, protected by the rib cage.
7. True/False: Golgi receives lipids/proteins from ER, modifies and ships them.
A. True
B. False
CORRECT ANSWER A — True
RATIONALE The Golgi apparatus receives transport vesicles from the rough ER, modifies their
protein/lipid contents, sorts them, and packages them for distribution to cellular
destinations.
