Feline Anatomy Dissection Quiz

The term 'ventral' specifically refers to the underside of an animal or plant, while 'dorsal' refers to the upper side, 'lateral' refers to the side, and 'superior' refers to above or higher in position.

In anatomy, dorsal refers to the upper side or back of an animal, while ventral refers to the underside or belly. Lateral refers to the side of the body, and proximal refers to a position closer to the point of attachment or origin.

The transverse plane divides the body into superior and inferior parts. In contrast, the sagittal plane divides the body into left and right parts, the coronal plane divides the body into anterior and posterior parts, and the oblique plane cuts at an angle.

The frontal plane is perpendicular to the sagittal and transverse planes, dividing the body into front and back halves. The sagittal plane divides the body into left and right halves, the transverse plane divides the body into top and bottom halves, and the coronal plane is another term for the frontal plane.

The pinna, also known as the auricle, is the visible part of the ear that helps to collect sound waves and direct them into the ear canal, where they are converted into neural signals for the brain to interpret.

Vibrissae are long, stiff hairs commonly found on mammals, particularly on their faces. These specialized hairs are used for tactile sensation, helping animals navigate their environment and detect nearby objects.

The correct term for the forearm in anatomy is 'antebrachium', while 'cranium' refers to the skull, 'femur' is the thigh bone, and 'tibia' is the shin bone.

The correct anatomical term for the upper arm is 'brachium,' while the femur and tibia refer to bones in the leg, and the clavicle is a bone in the shoulder region.

The correct answer is axilla, which refers to the armpit region in the human body. Phalanges, patella, and mandible are not related to the armpit.

A torus is a shape formed by revolving a circle in three-dimensional space around an axis that is coplanar with the circle.

The correct abbreviation for pound is lbs, which stands for 'pounds'. Oz stands for ounces, kg stands for kilograms, and cm stands for centimeters.

The pectoralis major is the primary muscle responsible for movement of the arms, chest, and shoulders. It is located in the chest region and is commonly referred to as the 'pecs'. The trapezius is a muscle in the upper back and neck area, the biceps brachii is a muscle in the upper arm, and the quadriceps are muscles in the thigh area.

The pectoralis minor is a thin, flat muscle located underneath the larger pectoralis major. It is responsible for stabilizing the scapula and aiding in respiration.

The triceps brachii is the muscle located on the back of the upper arm and is responsible for extending the elbow. It is composed of three heads - the long head, lateral head, and medial head.

The clavobrachialis muscle is located in the shoulder region and is responsible for shoulder movement, specifically aiding in shoulder flexion.

Palmaris longus is a small muscle located in the forearm that is absent in about 15% of the population. It is commonly used for tendon grafts in surgery.

The external oblique is a muscle located on the sides and front of the abdomen, responsible for rotating the trunk of the body. The rectus abdominis is responsible for flexing the trunk, the deltoid is a shoulder muscle, and the gluteus maximus is a muscle in the buttocks.

The rectus abdominis is a paired muscle running vertically on each side of the anterior wall of the human abdomen, commonly referred to as the 'six-pack' muscle due to its appearance in well-defined individuals.

The latissimus dorsi muscle is commonly known as the "lats" due to its broad, flat shape and location on the back. The trapezius muscle, deltoid muscle, and pectoralis major muscle are all different muscle groups with distinct functions and locations in the body.

The linea alba is a physical structure in the human body that serves a specific purpose related to anatomy.

Tensor facia lata is a muscle located in the outer hip region and plays a key role in movements involving the hip joint. It is not a type of connective tissue, a bone in the lower leg, or a nerve controlling facial expressions.

The gluteus medius muscle is located on the outer surface of the pelvis and is crucial for maintaining stability during activities such as walking and running. Its main functions include stabilizing the pelvis and abducting the hip to move the leg away from the body.

The gluteus maximus is the largest muscle in the human body, located in the buttocks. It is responsible for movement of the hip and thigh.

The Biceps Femoris is one of the hamstring muscles that perform the actions mentioned in the question. Rectus Femoris is a muscle responsible for extending the knee, Tibialis Anterior for dorsiflexion of the foot, and Gastrocnemius for plantar flexion of the foot.

The correct answer is (1) because the sartorius is a long, thin, band-like muscle that flexes and rotates the thigh.

The adductor magnus is the muscle commonly referred to as adductor femoris. It is one of the muscles located in the thigh responsible for adduction of the thigh.

The Latin word 'gracillis' translates to 'slender'. It is used to describe something thin or delicate in appearance.

The correct answer is Gastrocnemius, which refers to the calf muscle. Tibia, Femur, and Scapula are not related to the calf muscle.

The soleus is a powerful muscle in the calf that plays a key role in plantar flexion, which is the movement that points the foot downward.
