If you wanted to see a section through both lungs at the same time, you could make a cut in the __________ or the __________ plane. a) midsagittal; coronal b) transverse; parasagittal c) coronal; transverse d) parasagittal; median

c) coronal; transverse Explanation: A transverse section would reveal cross sections through the lungs, whereas a coronal section would reveal longitudinal sections of the lungs.

1. ____: spinal cord 2. ____ : composed of thoracic and abdominopelvic cavities 3. ____: digestive viscera and kidneys 4. ____ : bladder, reproductive organs, and rectum 5. ____ : heart, esophagus, and trachea 6. ____: lung

1. Vertebral cavity 2. Ventral body cavity 3. Abdominal cavity 4. Pelvic cavity 5. Mediastinum 6. Pleural cavity

A cross section is the same as a __________. a) midsagittal plane b) transverse plane c) oblique plane d) coronal plane e) sagittal plane

b) transverse plane Explanation: A transverse plane divides the body horizontally and is also called a "cross section."

All of the following terms EXCEPT __________ refer to regions of the upper limb. a) antebrachial b) pollex c) olecranal d) carpal e) crural

e) crural Explanation: The crural region refers to areas of the leg.

Someone studying anatomy using the systemic approach could study... a) all muscles, nerves, and blood vessels of individual areas of the body b) landmarks on the body's surface c) all the digestive organs d) changes in cells/tissues caused by disease

c) all the digestive organs Explanation: Organs of any individual system could be studied in the systemic approach

What's the purpose of the serous fluid located between visceral and parietal serosa?

It allows organs to slide with little friction against each other and against the cavity walls.

Which set of orientation and directional terms is NOT correctly matched with its opposite? a) contralateral: ipsilateral b) posterior: anterior c) proximal: distal d) distal: superior e) superficial: deep

d) distal: superior Explanation: the opposite of distal is proximal and the opposite of superior is posterior

The dorsal body cavity __________. a) contains the lungs b) contains the liver, stomach, and kidneys c) is divided into the pleural cavities and mediastinum d) encloses the brain and spinal cord

d) encloses the brain and spinal cord
