BIO 141 Unit 2 Review.
What may be some real-world applications of anatomical sections?
A CT (computed tomography scan) can show/ display a transverse sectional scan of the abdominopelvic cavity. MRI's can display three sections of the brain. The midsagittal, frontal, and transverse scans to locate any problems.
The following organs belong to the _______ system: esophagus, gallbladder, liver.
Digestive system
Figure 2.12 is not in anatomical position. List all of the deviations from anatomical position
1. The head is turned to the side 2. Palms are facing towards the sides of the body and not forwards. 3. Feed are not facing the same direction. 4. The body is facing backwards.
Lateral
Away from the body's midline
Inferior
Away from the head/toward the tail.
Deep
Away from the surface/toward the body's interior.
Which of the following best describes anatomical position?
Body facing forward, arms at sides, palms facing forward.
Proximal
Closer to the point of origin (e.g., of a limb)
Parasagittal plane
Divides body into unequal right and left sides
Frontal plane
Divides the body into anterior and posterior portions.
The following organs belong to the _____ system: pancreas, thyroid gland, adrenal glands
Endocrine system
A serous membrane secretes _________, which ______ the organs in certain____ body cavities.
Serous fluid, lubricates, ventral
Which of the following is an incorrect use of a directional term?
The ankle is inferior to the knee
Posterior
Toward the back of the body
Medial
Toward the body's midline
Anterior
Toward the front of the body.
Superior
Toward the head
Superficial
Toward the surface/skin.
Which anatomical section(s) would provide a view of the internal anatomy of both kidneys?
Transverse section (cross-section), but the frontal can also give a view of both kidneys.
Midsagittal plane
divides the body into equal right and left sides
Transverse plane
divides the body into superior/inferior parts
Distal
Farther from the point of origin (e.g., of a limb)
Oblique plane
passes through the body at an angle
Anatomical position and specific directional and regional terms are used in anatomy and physiology to:
provide a standard that facilitates communication and decreases the chances of errors.
