ANP 1106 Midterm 1, Midterm 2 and Final Bundled
Exam – 2026/2027 Academic Year
SECTION I: ANATOMICAL TERMINOLOGY & BODY ORGANIZATION
1. A patient presents with severe pain in the right upper quadrant. Which of the
following organs is MOST likely involved?
A) Appendix
B) Spleen
C) Liver
D) Descending colon
C) Liver
Rationale: The right upper quadrant (RUQ) contains the liver, gallbladder,
duodenum, head of pancreas, and right kidney. The appendix is in the right lower
quadrant, the spleen is in the left upper quadrant, and the descending colon is in
the left lower quadrant .
2. Which anatomical plane divides the body into equal right and left halves?
A) Parasagittal plane
B) Transverse plane
C) Midsagittal plane
D) Frontal plane
C) Midsagittal plane
Rationale: The midsagittal (median) plane is a vertical plane that divides the body
into equal right and left halves. A parasagittal plane divides the body into unequal
right and left portions. The transverse plane divides the body into superior and
inferior portions, while the frontal (coronal) plane divides it into anterior and
posterior portions .
3. The term "proximal" means:
,A) Closer to the point of attachment to the trunk
B) Farther from the point of attachment to the trunk
C) Toward the body surface
D) Away from the body surface
A) Closer to the point of attachment to the trunk
Rationale: Proximal refers to a position closer to the point of attachment or origin
(typically the trunk). Distal means farther from the point of attachment.
Superficial refers to toward the body surface, and deep refers to away from the
body surface.
4. Which of the following correctly describes the anatomical position?
A) Body erect, feet together, palms facing posteriorly
B) Body supine, feet apart, palms facing anteriorly
C) Body erect, feet slightly apart, palms facing forward with thumbs pointing away
from the body
D) Body prone, feet together, palms facing medially
C) Body erect, feet slightly apart, palms facing forward with thumbs pointing
away from the body
Rationale: In the standard anatomical position, the body is erect, feet slightly
apart, and palms face forward with thumbs pointing away from the body. This
position serves as the reference point for all anatomical directional terms .
5. The abdominopelvic region located directly above the pubic symphysis is the:
A) Epigastric region
B) Hypogastric region
C) Umbilical region
D) Iliac region
B) Hypogastric region
,Rationale: The hypogastric (pubic) region is located below the umbilical region
and directly above the pubic symphysis. The epigastric region is above the
umbilical region, and the iliac regions are located laterally on either side of the
hypogastric region .
6. Which body cavity is lined by the peritoneum?
A) Thoracic cavity
B) Pericardial cavity
C) Abdominopelvic cavity
D) Cranial cavity
C) Abdominopelvic cavity
Rationale: The peritoneum is the serous membrane that lines the abdominopelvic
cavity and covers its organs. The thoracic cavity is lined by pleura (lungs) and
pericardium (heart). The cranial cavity is lined by meninges .
7. The mediastinum is located within which body cavity?
A) Abdominopelvic cavity
B) Thoracic cavity
C) Cranial cavity
D) Vertebral cavity
B) Thoracic cavity
Rationale: The mediastinum is the central compartment of the thoracic cavity,
located between the pleural cavities. It contains the heart, thymus, esophagus,
trachea, and major blood vessels.
8. Which of the following is NOT part of the axial division of the body?
A) Head
B) Neck
, C) Trunk
D) Upper limbs
D) Upper limbs
Rationale: The axial division of the body consists of the head, neck, and trunk. The
appendicular division consists of the appendages or limbs attached to the axis .
9. A section taken at an angle other than 90 degrees to the long axis of the body
is called a(n):
A) Transverse section
B) Oblique section
C) Coronal section
D) Sagittal section
B) Oblique section
Rationale: An oblique section is one that is taken off a 90-degree angle. It is rarely
used in imaging because it is very difficult to interpret. All other standard sections
are taken at 90-degree angles .
10. The regional term for the "arm" is:
A) Antebrachial
B) Brachial
C) Femoral
D) Crural
B) Brachial
Rationale: The brachial region refers to the arm (from shoulder to elbow). The
antebrachial region is the forearm, the femoral region is the thigh, and the crural
region is the leg .
