MULTIPLE CHOICE
33. ANS: D
The lymphatic system produces immune cells and has a role in fluid balance. The integumentary system has a
role in protection, temperature regulation, water retention, and sensation. The circulatory system distributes
oxygen, nutrients, water, hormones, and other electrolytes; it also has a role in fluid and electrolyte balance.
The endocrine system produces hormones and regulates other systems.
PTS: 1 DIF: E KEY: REMEMBERING
34. ANS: C
The skeletal system protects organs, gives the body support and allows it to move, and also plays a role in the
formation of blood cells. The circulatory system distributes oxygen, nutrients, water, hormones, and other
electrolytes; it also has a role in fluid and electrolyte balance. The muscular system allows the body to move
and produces heat. The nervous system regulates and coordinates other systems, and also has a role in
sensation and memory.
PTS: 1 DIF: E KEY: REMEMBERING
35. ANS: A

, Epithelial tissue covers the body surfaces. Connective tissue connects and supports parts of the body. Muscle
contracts to produce movement. Nerve tissue generates and transmits impulses to regulate body function.
PTS: 1 DIF: E KEY: REMEMBERING
36. ANS: B
Bone, cartilage, and adipose tissue are all types of connective tissue.
PTS: 1 DIF: M KEY: UNDERSTANDING
37. ANS: C
A transverse plane divides the body horizontally into upper and lower portions. A sagittal plane divides the
body lengthwise into right and left sides. A frontal plane divides the body lengthwise into anterior and
posterior positions. A coronal plane is another name for a frontal plane.
PTS: 1 DIF: E KEY: REMEMBERING
38. ANS: D
Most illustrations that show the contents of the abdominal cavity use a frontal plane. A sagittal plane is used
to illustrate the organs of the head or pelvic cavity. A horizontal plane is another name for a transverse plane.
A transverse plane is used by computed tomography scanners.
