Sebacious gland
- B.
Apocrine Eccrine gland (sweat gland)
- C.
Arrector pilli
Correct Answer
B. Apocrine Eccrine gland (sweat gland)Explanation
The correct answer is Apocrine Eccrine gland (sweat gland). The question is asking for the correct term that corresponds to the given options. Among the options provided, the sweat gland is the only one that matches the description. The sebaceous gland is responsible for producing oil, the arrector pili muscle causes hair to stand on end, while the apocrine gland is responsible for producing a type of sweat that is odorless until it mixes with bacteria on the skin. Therefore, the correct answer is the sweat gland.Rate this question:

The anatomical term which best describes a structure toward the head is
- A.
Superficial.
- B.
Deep.
- C.
Inferior.
- D.
Superior.
Correct Answer
D. Superior.Explanation
The term "superior" in anatomy refers to a structure that is located towards the head or upper part of the body. In this case, since the question asks for the term that best describes a structure towards the head, "superior" is the correct answer. "Superficial" refers to a structure that is closer to the surface, "deep" refers to a structure that is further inside the body, and "inferior" refers to a structure that is located towards the feet or lower part of the body.Rate this question:

The arm is _________ to the hand.
- A.
Medial
- B.
Lateral
- C.
Proximal
- D.
Distal
Correct Answer
C. ProximalExplanation
The arm is described as proximal to the hand because proximal refers to a position closer to the point of attachment or origin. In this case, the point of attachment or origin is the shoulder, and the arm is closer to the shoulder than the hand. Therefore, proximal is the correct term to describe the relationship between the arm and the hand.Rate this question:

The human body is categorized in structural organization. Which of the following order is correct?
- A.
Chemicals, tissues, cells, organs, systems, organisms
- B.
Organisms,systems,cells,chemicals, organs, tissues
- C.
Chemicals, cells, tissues, organs, systems, organisms
- D.
Chemicals, cells, organs, tissues, systems, organisms
Correct Answer
C. Chemicals, cells, tissues, organs, systems, organismsExplanation
The correct order of structural organization in the human body is from smallest to largest: chemicals, cells, tissues, organs, systems, organisms. This order starts with the basic building blocks of matter (chemicals), which make up cells. Cells then combine to form tissues, which further organize into organs. Organs work together to form systems, and all the systems together make up the complete organism.Rate this question:

The plane that divides the body into posterior and anterior parts is called the
- A.
Oblique plane
- B.
Midsaggital plane
- C.
Transverse plane
- D.
Frontal plane
- E.
Saggital plane
Correct Answer
D. Frontal planeExplanation
The plane that divides the body into posterior and anterior parts is called the frontal plane. This plane is also known as the coronal plane and runs vertically from side to side, dividing the body into front and back sections. It is perpendicular to the sagittal plane, which divides the body into left and right parts. The frontal plane is commonly used in anatomical and medical studies to analyze the body's structures and movements.Rate this question:

What is known as the study of the structure of body parts and how they relate to one another?
- A.
Physiology
- B.
Anatomy
- C.
Biology
- D.
Pharmacology
Correct Answer
B. AnatomyExplanation
Anatomy is the study of the structure of body parts and how they relate to one another. It involves examining the organs, tissues, and cells of the body to understand their form and function. This field of study is crucial for medical professionals as it provides a foundation for understanding the body's systems and how they work together. Physiology, on the other hand, focuses on the functions and processes of these body parts. Biology is the broader study of living organisms, while pharmacology is the study of drugs and their effects on the body.Rate this question:
