Development,Pregnancy, and Heredity Chapter 01 The Sciences of Anatomy and Physiology Multiple choice: 1) If a scientist forms and tests a hypothesis, but gets unexpected results, what is a logicalnext step? Check all that apply. A) Accept the original hypothesis B) Reject the original hypothesis C) Revise the original hypothesis D) Design a new experiment based on a new or modified hypothesis. 2) Some researchers think pheromones are important tools in human communication. Pheromones are chemical signals that one individual sends to another. What research questionsmight be asked by anatomists, and what questions might be asked by physiologists, to determineif pheromones are important to humans? 3) Iron atoms help our blood transport oxygen. Describe each level of anatomical structuralcomplexity for an iron atom in your blood, working from the simplest level (atom) to the most complex (organism). 4) If someone speaks too loudly into a microphone, a public address system will sometimes produce a loud whistle of amplified feedback. Explain whether this is an example of negative or positive feedback, and explain how the microphone, control box,and speaker of the system serveas the different components of a feedback loop. 5) The discipline known as differencesacross species. 6) anatomy examines similarities and The discipline that studies the functions of the nervous system, including the way thatimpulses are conducted, is known as . 7) The discipline that associates changes in organ system function with disease or injury isknown as . 8) The group of metabolic reactions in which smaller molecules are combined to form largerones is 9) Specialized subunits of cells that are made of macromolecules are called _ . 10) The organ system that transports andfilters interstitial fluid while also participating inimmune responses is the system. 11) the 12) 13) 14) The pituitary, thyroid, and adrenal glands are typically grouped within system. The appendix is in the right iliac region, and is therefore located in the quadrant. The level of organization one step more complex than the organ level is the level. The state of equilibrium, or fairly constant interval environment, in the body is called . 15) 16) The reproductive system produces oocytes. The antecubital region is to the brachial 17) The muscular partition that separates the thoracic and abdominopelvic cavities is thethoracic . 18) 19) 20) 21) Which is a physiological description rather than an anatomical one? A) The muscles of theintestinal wall contract slowly and involuntarily. B) The walls of bloodcapillaries are composed of a thin epithelium. C) The muscles of thethigh are composed of skeletal muscle tissue. D) There arefenestrations (openings) in the epithelial cells of capillary walls. E) The esophageal wallincludes a middle layer of dense irregular connective tissue. Respiratory physiology is primarilythe study of A) cell shape withinthe alveoli of the lungs. B) the branchingpattern of the small airways of the lungs. C) the tissuecomposition of the airways, air sacs, and blood vessels. D) how gases aretransferred between the lungs and the blood vessels supplying them. The large surface area of the inside of the small intestine means that this structure is A) well adapted forits physiological role in absorption. B) derived from anembryological structure that served a different function. C) anatomicallycomplex but physiologically simple. D) maladaptive inthat it harbors bacteria. The mechanism by whichthe body propels food through the digestive tract is primarily atopic of study for A) anatomists. B) physiologists. 22) 23) 24) The term that refers to the ability of organisms to react to changes in the environment is A) responsiveness. B) reproduction. C) metabolism. D) development. E) organization. The various chemical reactions that organisms carry out are collectively called A) reproduction. B) homeostasis. C) metabolism. D) responsiveness. E) development. The category of reactions in which larger molecules are broken down into smaller ones isknown as A) anabolism. B) catabolism. C) synthesis. D) homeostasis. E) enzymatic
