Chapter 2, Problem 1PL
The basis for communication in anatomy and physiology assumes
- the person is lying down.
Expert Solution & Answer
Summary Introduction
Introduction:
Anatomy is related to body structure and function. It includes the study of cells, tissue, bones skeletal system, and organ system. It is distinct from physiology. It is the study of the function of the whole body and parts of the body. It focuses on the mechanisms and metabolic processes that occur in different organs of the body.
Answer to Problem 1PL
Correct answer:
The correct answer is option (c) Anatomical position.
Explanation of Solution
Explanation/justification for the correct answer:
Option (c). Anatomical position. In the anatomical position, the muscles are in minimum tension. It is erect or standing up position in humans. It is used as an initial point for physiological and anatomical descriptions and communications of the body. So, the correct answer is option (c).
Explanation for incorrect answer:
Option (a). The person is lying down. The lying position of a person is termed as supine and prone in which their body is supported by the surface underneath. It does not support the basis for communication, whereas it simply means the muscles of the body is in resting position. So, this is an incorrect option.
Option (b). Relative positions. The position defined concerning another position. Anatomical position describes the relative positions of body parts. The relative positions are ventral, dorsal, cranial, caudal and superficial positions. Also, it does involve physiological functioning. So, this is an incorrect answer.
Option (d). The person is sleeping. It is a state of reduced awareness and response. Sleeping is also associated with reduced movement in the human body. It is not a part of anatomical communication. So, this is an incorrect answer.

Older adults have unique challenges in terms of their nutrient needs and physiological changes. Some changes may make it difficult to consume a healthful diet, so it is important to identify strategies to help overcome these obstacles.
From the list below, choose all the correct statements about changes in older adults.
Select all that apply.
Poor vision can make it difficult for older adults to get to a supermarket, and to prepare meals.
With age, taste and visual perception decline.
As people age, salivary production increases.
In older adults with dysphagia, foods like creamy soups, applesauce, and yogurt are usually well tolerated.
Lean body mass increases in older adults.
When physical activity increases, energy requirements increase also. Depending on the type, intensity, and duration of physical activity, the body’s requirements for certain macronutrients may change as well.
From the list below, choose all the correct statements about the effects of increased physical activity or athletic training.
Select all that apply.
An athlete who weighs 70 kg (154 lb) should consume 420 to 700 g of carbohydrate per day.
How much additional energy an athlete needs depends on the specific activity the athlete engages in and the frequency of the activity.
Those participating in vigorous exercise should restrict their fat intake to less than 15%% of total energy intake.
Athletes who are following energy-restricted diets are at risk for consuming insufficient protein.
The recommendation to limit saturated fat intake to less than 10%% of total energy intake does not apply to athletes or those who regularly engage in vigorous physical activity.
When taking vitamins and vitamin-mineral supplements, how can one be sure they are getting what they are taking?
