About This Quiz


What can be proclaimed about the body system? A body system is a collection of parts that work together to serve an intended purpose. They are essential to growth and development, reproduction, and survival. Each piece of a system depends on other parts to do their job, which they could not do separately. This great quiz reveals the answers to many mysteries of the body system.

    The upper part of the trunk is the_________and the lower part is the inferior.

    • Transverse

    • Body

    • Superior

    • Distal

    • Proximal

    Correct Answer
    A. Superior
    Explanation
    The upper part of the trunk is referred to as the superior, while the lower part is called the inferior. This terminology is commonly used in anatomy to describe the relative positions of different body parts. The term "superior" indicates a higher or upper position, while "inferior" indicates a lower or lower position. In this context, it is used to describe the upper and lower parts of the trunk.

    Moving from the end of a limb towards the trunk  of the body is moving in a ____________direction.

    • Superfical

    • Positive

    • External

    • Proximal

    • Negative

    Correct Answer
    A. Proximal
    Explanation
    Moving from the end of a limb towards the trunk of the body is moving in a proximal direction. Proximal refers to a location closer to the point of attachment or origin of a structure. In this case, the limb is the structure and the trunk is the point of attachment or origin. Therefore, moving from the end of the limb towards the trunk is considered a proximal direction.

    A. Sympton
    Explanation
    A symptom is any deviation from health that is experienced or felt by the patient. Symptoms are subjective experiences or sensations that a person may have, such as pain, fatigue, or nausea. They are often indicators of an underlying condition or disease. Unlike signs, which are objective and can be observed or measured by healthcare professionals, symptoms are reported by the patient themselves. Therefore, the correct answer is "symptom".

    • Thoracic cavity

    • Spinal canal

    • Pelvic cavity

    • External cavity

    • Internal canal

    Correct Answer
    A. Spinal canal
    Explanation
    The correct answer is spinal canal. The spinal canal is a continuation of the cranial cavity and runs down the midline of the back. It houses and protects the spinal cord, which is a vital part of the central nervous system. The spinal canal is surrounded by the vertebrae, providing support and stability to the spinal cord.

    Moving from the trunk of the body toward the end of a ________is moving in a distal direction, or distally.

    • Toe

    • Nose

    • Elbow

    • Limb (leg or arm)

    • Wrist

    Correct Answer
    A. Limb (leg or arm)
    Explanation
    Moving from the trunk of the body toward the end of a limb is moving in a distal direction, or distally. The term "distal" refers to a position that is farther away from the point of reference or the center of the body. In this case, the trunk of the body serves as the point of reference, and moving towards the end of a limb, such as the leg or arm, is considered moving in a distal direction.

    • Recuperation, chronic

    • Subacute, refractory

    Correct Answer
    A. Subacute, acute
    Explanation
    During the course of a disease, the symptoms and signs may be subacute, meaning they develop more slowly and are less severe, and acute, meaning they develop rapidly and are severe. This suggests that the disease may progress from a milder stage to a more severe stage over time.

    • Spinal cord

    • Structure

    • Regions

    • Cavities

    Correct Answer
    A. Cavities
    Explanation
    The body can be studied according to its body cavities and their internal organs. The term "cavities" refers to the hollow spaces within the body that contain organs. By studying these cavities and their contents, we can gain a better understanding of the structure and function of the body. The other options, such as quadrants, spinal cord, and regions, do not specifically refer to the spaces within the body where organs are located.
