BCIT BHSC 0020 Challenge Exam
A) Overall Body Organization correct answers
Define and provide examples of anatomical terms used to describe body
regions correct answersAnatomical Position: Hands are at the side, palms
facing forward, and feet are together
Supine correct answerslying face
upward Prone correct answerslying
face down
Body Regions correct answershead
(cephalic) neck (cervical)
trunk
(abdominal)
upper
appendages
lower
appendages
Directional terminology correct answersRefers to the body in
anatomical position Standardized terms of directions are paired terms
Superior/Inferior: above/below
Proximal/Distal: toward point of attachment/away from point of
attachment Lateral/Medial: away from midline/toward midline
Superficial/Deep: close to the body surface/toward interior
of body Cranial or Cephalic/Caudal: toward the
head/toward the tail(coccyx)
Posterior(Dorsal)/Anterior(Ventral): back of surface/front of
surface
3 Body Planes correct answersimaginary lines drawn through the body at
various parts to separate the body into sections
Frontal or Coronal
Plane Sagittal Plane
Transverse Plane
Frontal or Coronal Plane correct answersA vertical plane that divides the
body into anterior and posterior sections
,Parallel to long axis
coronal refers to sections passing through
the skill directional term: frontally or
coronally
Sagittal Plane correct answersa vertical plane that divides the body into
right and left parts
parallel to long axis
Directional term:
sagittally
midsagittal plane correct answersdivides the body into equal right
and left sides passes through the midline
parasagittal plane correct answersDivides body into unequal right
and left sides
transverse plane (horizontal plane) correct answershorizontal division of
the body into upper and lower portions
plane is perpendicular to long axis
separates superior and inferior portions of
the body also called a cross section
directional term: transversely or horizontally
4 quadrants of abdominal cavity correct answersRight upper
quadrant (RUQ) Left upper quadrant (LUQ)
Right lower quadrant
(RLQ) Left lower
quadrant (LLQ)
9 abdominopelvic regions correct
answersUPPER: right hypochondriac
epigastric
left hypochondriac
,MIDDLE:
right lumbar
umbilical
left
lumbar
BOTTOM:
right iliac
(inguinal)
hypogastric
(pubic) left iliac
(inguinal)
Internal organs contained in the abdominal cavity (9 regions)
UPPER correct answersright hypochondriac- liver
epigastric- stomach and
gallbladder left hypochondriac-
spleen
MIDDLE correct answersright
lumbar umbilical
left lumbar
small and large intestines go through all
regions BOTTOM correct answersright iliac
hypogastric (pubic)- appendix and urinary
bladder left iliac
Components of a feedback system correct
answersreceptor control center
effector
stimulus
respons
e
recepto
r
, is sensitive to a particular environmental change or stimulus
e.g. thermometer
control center correct answersor integration center
receives and processes the information supplied by the
receptor then sends out commands
e.g. thermostat
effector correct answersresponds to these commands
by opposing the stimulus
e.g. air conditioner
homeostatic regulation correct answersthe adjustment of physiological
systems to preserve homeostasis
use feedback system for this
homeostasis correct answerspresence of a stable internal
environment vital to survival
the net effect is that any variation outside normal limits triggers a response
that restores normal conditions
maintains a normal range rather than an absolute value
Feedback correct answersoccurs when receptor stimulation triggers a
response that changes the environment at the receptor
Positive feedback system correct answersstrengthens or reinforces a
change in one of the body's controlled conditions
accelerates a process to completion
an initial stimulus produces a response that exaggerates or enhances the
change in the original conditions rather than opposing it
seldom happens because it tends to produce extreme responses
