Q1, Q2, Q3 pending Flashcards

Which of the following anatomical terms would apply when describing any area of the human arm starting at the axilla and ending at the very distal tips of the phalanges

Proximal and distal

Which of the following anatomical terms would apply when describing different areas of the foot

Plantar surface

Picture a reference man or woman in anatomical position. Which of the following would be located proximal to the pollex, distal to the brachium, and lateral to the ribs

The olecranon

A transverse plane is created on a reference man or woman and it passes through both olecranons. Which of the following would be located in its entirety superior to this plane?

The brachium

A midsagittal plane is created on a reference man or woman. Which of the following would not bisect

Any part of the plantar surface, right oculus, popliteal region

You are treating a patient who is employed as a plumber for an olecranon bursitis.  Given what we discussed in lecture, which of the following would be correct descriptors of this condition?

This condition would exist on the posterior aspect of the arm if the patient was standing in anatomical position,  

To elucidate how this condition developed in the patient, it would be appropriate to ask them if they spend a lot of time at work crawling on their knees and elbows

 

A CT scan made on the correct frontal plane could reveal additional information about the severity of the condition

Picture a reference man or woman.  A midsagittal plane is created.  Next, a transverse plane is created that passes through the carpus region.  Finally, a frontal plane is made that passes through the right and left pollex.  Which of the following would be found in its entirety within the lower right quadrant of the body created by these planes?

Right hallux and right palmar surface

Molecules are held together by biological bonds.  The strongest of these bonds is the…

Covalent bond

It is estimated that the human body contains 30-40 trillion cells.  However, all of these are organized into just a handful of primary tissue types and include the official categories of:

Nervous, muscle, epithelial

Picture the popliteal artery which delivers blood to the crus region of each leg and to the foot.  Given what we discussed in class, which of the following would be true of this artery?

This artery would be responsible for delivering inputs like oxygen, water, and glucose to cells of the lower leg, This artery would be located proximal to the tarsus but distal to the femur, This artery would be bisected by a transverse plane made at the level of the sura

Which of the following statements about the pancreas are correct?

 

It is part of or belongs to two different organ systems; the digestive and endocrine systems,  some cells in the pancreas are responsible for producing and secretive digestive enzymes,  some cells in the pancrease are responsible for producing and secreting hormones

Listed below are examples of physiological variables.  Select all of the ones that would be considered regulated physiological variables.  Remember, we discussed a few key examples of this during lecture as well as a chart that can be found on Canvas under files called Homeostasis of Reg Phys Variables.

Blood glucose levels

In order for any variable to be considered as a regulated physiological variable, what is required?

 

The variable must have dedicated sensors (neurons) that can detect its level in the body, the variable must be kept within a certain range and this range is usually maintained by areas of the brain such as the hypothalamus

Which of the following environments are not regulated or maintained as part of homeostasis?  

The internal environment of individual cells, the outer surface of the skin, the lumen or hollow area of the GI tract, the lumen or hollow area of the respiratory tract

Suppose a regulated physiological variable is off and, due to homeostasis, is swiftly corrected such that the end result opposes the beginning.  Given this scenario and what we discussed in class, which of the following has occurred?

Negative feedback

How many individual layers of phospholipids would be found encircling the nucleus as part of its nuclear envelope (nuclear membrane)? 

4

How many individual layers of phospholipids would be found encircling the cell as part of the cell membrane?  

2

Helping cargo that is packed into vesicles and originating from the surface of the rER arrive efficiently at the Golgi would be the:

Cytoskeleton

What organelle in the cell is responsible for chopping up and degrading pathogens like viruses and bacteria?

Lysosome

Carefully observe the image below and pay special attention the the area denoted by the yellow circle.  Then, select all of the statements below that would be true of this area.

The area circled is called the soma of a neuron, and would contain most of this cell's organelles
