(Questions 1-20)
o o
,Question o1
Which oof othe ofollowing obest odefines oanatomy?
A) oThe ostudy oof othe ofunction oof obody oparts
B) oThe ostudy oof othe ostructure oof obody oparts oand otheir orelationships oto oone oanother
C) oThe ostudy oof otissues
D) oThe ostudy oof ocells
Correct oAnswer: oB) oThe ostudy oof othe ostructure oof obody oparts oand otheir
o relationships oto oone oanother
Rationale: oAnatomy ois othe ostudy oof othe ostructure oof obody oparts oand otheir
relationships oto oone oanother. oPhysiology ois othe ostudy oof ofunction. oHistology ois othe
o
study oof otissues, oand ocytology ois othe ostudy oof ocells o.
o
Question o2
Which oof othe ofollowing obest odefines ophysiology?
A) oThe ostudy oof othe ostructure oof obody oparts
B) oThe ostudy oof othe ofunction oof obody oparts
C) oThe ostudy oof otissues
D) oThe ostudy oof odisease
Correct oAnswer: oB) oThe ostudy oof othe ofunction oof obody oparts
Rationale: oPhysiology ois othe ostudy oof othe ofunction oof obody oparts oand ohow othey
work. oAnatomy ostudies ostructure. oPathology ois othe ostudy oof odisease o.
o
,Question o3
The oterm o"gross oanatomy" orefers oto:
A) oThe ostudy oof ocells ousing oa omicroscope
B) oThe ostudy oof ostructures ovisible oto othe onaked oeye
C) oThe ostudy oof otissues
D) oThe ostudy oof ochemical oreactions oin othe obody
Correct oAnswer: oB) oThe ostudy oof ostructures ovisible oto othe onaked oeye
Rationale: oGross oanatomy o(macroscopic oanatomy) ois othe ostudy oof ostructures othat
can obe oseen owithout oa omicroscope. oMicroscopic oanatomy o(histology oand ocytology)
o
requires omagnification o.
o
Question o4
Which oof othe ofollowing ois oan oexample oof oa ophysiological ostudy?
A) oExamining othe oshape oof othe oheart
B) oMeasuring oblood opressure oand oheart orate oduring oexercise
C) oIdentifying othe olocation oof othe oliver
D) oDescribing othe ostructure oof oa obone
Correct oAnswer: oB) oMeasuring oblood opressure oand oheart orate oduring oexercise
Rationale: oPhysiology ofocuses oon ofunction. oMeasuring oblood opressure oand oheart
rate oassesses ohow othe ocardiovascular osystem ofunctions. oIdentifying ostructures oand
o
shapes oare oanatomical ostudies o.
o
Question o5
The ostudy oof otissues ois ocalled:
, A) oCytology
B) oHistology
C) oEmbryology
D) oPathology
Correct oAnswer: oB) oHistology
Rationale: oHistology ois othe ostudy oof otissues. oCytology ois othe ostudy oof ocells.
Embryology ois othe ostudy oof odevelopment obefore obirth. oPathology ois othe ostudy oof
o
disease o.
o
Question o6
Which oof othe ofollowing orepresents othe ocorrect osequence oof ostructural oorganization
from osimplest oto omost ocomplex?
o
A) oChemical, ocellular, otissue, oorgan, oorgan osystem, oorganism
B) oCellular, ochemical, otissue, oorgan, oorgan osystem, oorganism
C) oChemical, otissue, ocellular, oorgan, oorgan osystem, oorganism
D) oTissue, ochemical, ocellular, oorgan, oorgan osystem, oorganism
Correct oAnswer: oA) oChemical, ocellular, otissue, oorgan, oorgan osystem, oorganism
Rationale: oThe ostructural ohierarchy obegins owith othe ochemical olevel o(atoms oand
molecules), othen ocellular, otissue, oorgan, oorgan osystem, oand ofinally othe oorganismal
o
level o.
o
