Quiz 5: Comparative Sectional Anatomy of the Abdominopelvic Cavity

Computed tomography (CT) and ultrasound share terminology describing the body planes. Identify the plane that divides the body into upper and lower sections. A) Sagittal B) Longitudinal C) Coronal D) Transverse

Choose the definition of a sagittal plane. A) A plane dividing the body or any of its parts into upper and lower portions. B) A lengthwise plane running from front to back dividing the body or any of its parts into right and left sides, or two equal halves. C) A plane parallel to the long axis of the body or part. D) A lengthwise plane running from side to side, dividing the body into anterior and posterior portions.

The abdominopelvic cavity has four quadrants and nine regions to help us describe locations of patient symptoms or pathology. Which of the following is the upper horizontal line that joins the lowest point of the costal margin to each side of the body? A) Subcostal plane B) Right upper quadrant C) Transpyloric plane D) Midsagittal plane

Which of the following lies superior to the level of the caudate lobe on the transverse plane? A) Aorta B) Celiac axis C) Splenic artery D) Hepatic vein

Which of the following lies inferior to the level of the caudate lobe and celiac axis on the transverse plane? A) Splenic vein B) Renal arteries C) Ligamentum venosum D) Hepatic vein

Choose the structure that divides at the level of the aortic bifurcation. A) Coronary artery B) Hepatic artery C) Celiac axis D) Common iliac arteries

Morison's pouch is anterior to which organ? A) Pancreas B) Caudate lobe C) Right kidney D) Uterus

When imaging on the longitudinal plane at the level of the liver, inferior vena cava, pancreas, and gastroduodenal artery, which of the following enters the left lobe of the liver? A) Portal vein B) Femoral artery C) Iliac vein D) Splenic artery

Identify the structures imaged at the longitudinal level of the costodiaphragmatic recess superior to the diaphragm. A) Liver and right kidney B) Liver and gallbladder C) Pancreas and gastroduodenal artery D) Portal vein and artery

Both the sagittal and coronal planes divide the body lengthwise. How does the coronal plane divide the body? A) Top to bottom B) Front to back C) Side to side D) Right to left

Select the description of the midsagittal plane. A) Plane dividing the body into equal right and left halves B) Plane dividing the body into anterior and posterior sections C) Plane dividing the body into upper and lower halves D) Plane running from the left shoulder to the right hip
