Question

c. knowledge of anatomic locations on the body will make your communications with other health professionals precise. challenge yourself with the following questions. choose t if the statement is true. choose f if the statement is false. (lo 3.9, 3.10, 3.11)

1. standing erect with feet flat on the floor, face and eyes facing forward, and arms at the side with palms facing forward is the anatomical position.
2. a transverse plane is a horizontal plane.
3. frontal and sagittal planes are both vertical planes.
4. inferior is situated above another part of the body.
5. dorsal means the same as anterior.
6. the abdominal cavity contains the urinary bladder.
7. the thoracic cavity is superior to the pelvic cavity, and the pelvic cavity is inferior to the abdominal cavity.
8. the diaphragm divides the pelvic cavity and the abdominal cavity.
9. in ruq, “q” means quadrant.
10. the ruq and the luq are divided by a sagittal plane.

d. what am i? fill in the blanks with the correct answers. (lo 3.1, 3.2, 3.4)

1. anabolism + catabolism =
2. the largest organelle that directs all the activities of the cell is the
3. this forms the tip of your nose, the shape of your ear, and the larynx:
4. the relatively constant internal environment in the body is
5. standing erect, with feet flat on the floor, face and eyes facing forward, and arms at the side, palms facing forward is

Explanation:

1. Metabolism is the sum of anabolism (building - up processes) and catabolism (breaking - down processes).
2. The nucleus is the largest organelle and controls cell activities.
3. Cartilage gives shape to the nose tip, ear, and larynx.
4. Homeostasis refers to the relatively constant internal environment of the body.
5. The described position is the anatomical position.

For the true - false questions:

1. The anatomical position is as described, so it's true (T).
2. A transverse plane is horizontal, so it's true (T).
3. Frontal and sagittal planes are vertical, so it's true (T).
4. Inferior means below, not above, so it's false (F).
5. Dorsal means back and anterior means front, so it's false (F).
6. The urinary bladder is in the pelvic cavity, not just the abdominal cavity, so it's false (F).
7. The thoracic cavity is superior to the pelvic cavity, and the pelvic cavity is inferior to the abdominal cavity, so it's true (T).
8. The diaphragm divides the thoracic and abdominal cavities, not the pelvic and abdominal cavities, so it's false (F).
9. In RUQ (right upper quadrant), "Q" means quadrant, so it's true (T).
10. The RUQ and LUQ (left upper quadrant) are divided by a sagittal plane, so it's true (T).
