EXAMINATION INSTRUCTIONS
▸ Select the single best answer unless otherwise specified.
▸ Questions randomized from source material per Component 16.
▸ Topics: Anatomical Terms, Cell Biology, Transport, Respiratory, Skeletal, Muscular, Digestive, Endocrine,
Integumentary.
▸ Correct answers and rationales appear below each question.
, ANATOMY & PHYSIOLOGY I — FINAL EXAMINATION Questions 1 – 52
1. Name the anatomical pair for directions shown (front and back of body).
A. Superior-inferior
B. Anterior-posterior
C. Medial-lateral
D. Proximal-distal
CORRECT ANSWER B — Anterior (front) and Posterior (back)
RATIONALE Anterior (ventral) refers to the front of the body. Posterior (dorsal) refers to the
back. These are fundamental directional terms in anatomy.
2. Define abduction and adduction.
A. Abduction = bending; Adduction = straightening
B. Abduction = movement away from midline; Adduction = movement toward midline
C. Abduction = rotation; Adduction = circumduction
D. Both mean the same thing
CORRECT ANSWER B — Abduction: away from midline. Adduction: toward midline.
RATIONALE Abduction moves a limb laterally away from the body's midline (e.g., raising arm
sideways). Adduction brings it back toward the midline. Both occur in the frontal
plane.
3. True/False: The abdominal cavity houses the spleen and bladder.
A. True
B. False
CORRECT ANSWER B — False (spleen is abdominal; bladder is in the PELVIC cavity)
RATIONALE The spleen is in the abdominal cavity (left upper quadrant). The urinary bladder is
located in the pelvic cavity, not the abdominal cavity.
, 4. True/False: The pelvic cavity houses reproductive organs and the rectum.
A. True
B. False
CORRECT ANSWER A — True
RATIONALE The pelvic cavity contains the urinary bladder, reproductive organs
(uterus/ovaries or prostate), and the rectum. It is the most inferior portion of the
abdominopelvic cavity.
5. Name the body planes: 1=horizontal, 2=front/back, 3=left/right.
A. 1=Frontal, 2=Sagittal, 3=Transverse
B. 1=Transverse, 2=Frontal, 3=Sagittal
C. 1=Sagittal, 2=Transverse, 3=Frontal
D. 1=Frontal, 2=Transverse, 3=Sagittal
CORRECT ANSWER B — 1=Transverse, 2=Frontal (coronal), 3=Sagittal
RATIONALE Transverse divides superior/inferior. Frontal (coronal) divides anterior/posterior.
Sagittal divides left/right (midsagittal = equal halves).
6. Each statement about prokaryotic cells is true EXCEPT:
A. DNA not enclosed in nuclear membrane
B. Prokaryotic cells are typically larger than eukaryotic cells
C. Contain plasma membranes and ribosomes
D. Do not contain lysosomes and Golgi apparatus
CORRECT ANSWER B — Prokaryotic cells are typically SMALLER, not larger, than eukaryotic
cells
RATIONALE Prokaryotes (1-10 μm) are much smaller than eukaryotes (10-100 μm). All other
statements are correct: no nuclear membrane, have ribosomes and plasma
membrane, lack membrane-bound organelles.
