rest are from an
anatomical perspective. Select the description below that comes from physiological
perspective.
A) The pancreas lies deep to the stomach within the abdominal cavity.
B) The skull is formed by 22 facial and cranial bones.
C) The chambers of the heart and blood vessels leading to and from the
heart are separated by valves composed of fibrous connective tissue.
D) The contraction of smooth muscle in blood vessels (vasoconstriction) can
reduce the flow of blood through the vessel.

located?
A) pleural, ventral, and thoracic B) mediastinal, thoracic, and ventral
