Quiz Answer Key and Fun Facts

1. ONE! What is this ONE structure that is attached to the cecum of the large intestine?

Answer: vermiform appendix

The vermiform appendix is believed to be a vestigial (no longer functional) organ in the human intestinal tract. Scientists believe that the appendix was used by primates before to digest plant materials such as leaves in their diet.

2. TWO! What are the TWO structures in the ear that are responsible for sense of linear and circular motion (vestibular system)?

Answer: utricle and saccule

The utricle and saccule are found within the inner ear. They are semi-circular canals and within them are the macula or hair cells, responsible for the sense of linear and circular balance.

3. THREE! What are the THREE subdivisions of the brain stem?

Answer: midbrain, pons, medulla

The brain stem connects the brain with the spinal cord. It consists of the midrain, pons, and medulla. The cerebellum, though attached to the brain stem, is not part of the brain stem, but it is part of the hind brain together with the pons and medulla.

4. FOUR! What are the FOUR parts of the fallopian tube?

Answer: fimbriae, infundibulum, ampulla, isthmus

The fimbriae is made of finger-like projections that catches the egg cell once the egg cell ruptures from the ovary. The infundibulum is where the fimbriae is attached. The ampulla is the most dilated part of the fallopian tube, and this is the most usual site of fertilization.

The isthmus, on the other hand, is the narrowest part of the fallopian tube. This is the part of the fallopian tube that is attached to the body of the uterus.

Answer: periosteum

The periosteum is a dense irregular connective tissue that externally covers the cranial bones (bones housing and covering the brain).

6. SIX! At around SIX months of age, infants' deciduous teeth or milk teeth come out. Which milk teeth first come out at this age?

Answer: lower two incisors

At six months of age, the lower two incisors first come out. At 6 years of age, the permanent teeth also comes out first here, the lower two incisors.

7. SEVEN! In which region of the vertebral column can you find SEVEN vertebral bones?

Answer: cervical

The cervical vertebrae consist of the atlas (C1 or first cervical vertebra), the axis (C2 or second vertebra), C3 to C6 vertebrae (typical cervical vertebrae), and C7 which has an unusually longer spine resembling a thoracic vertebra. The characteristic feature of the cervical vertebrae is that they have the transverse foramen on either side where the vertebral arteries pass through.

8. EIGHT! The wrist is composed of EIGHT carpal bones. Which bone below is one of the eight carpal bones?

Answer: capitate

The eight carpal bones are the scaphoid, lunate, triquetral, pisiform, trapezium, trapezoid, capitate, and hamate. Navicular, cuneiform, and cuboid are tarsal bones (found in the feet).

Answer: oxytocin and vasopressin

Oxytocin and vasopressin (anti-diuretic hormone) are hormones secreted by the posterior pituitary gland, but these hormones are not synthesized or produced by the posterior pituitary. These hormones are produced by the hypothalamus, and only stored and secreted by the posterior pituitary gland.

Answer: diaphragm

The diaphragm is supplied by the phrenic nerve coming from C3, C4, C5 branches of the cervical plexus. The recurrent laryngeal nerve is a branch of the vagus nerve that supplies the extrinsic muscles of the larynx (except cricothyroid). The heart and stomach are also innervated by the vagus nerve, providing parasympathetic autonomic innervation.
