, CHAPTER 1: THE SCIENCE OF PHYSIOLOGY
1. Which of the following best describes physiology?
A. The study of the body's structure
B. The study of the body's functions
C. The study of diseases and disorders
D. The study of cellular composition
Correct Answer: B
Rationale: Physiology is the study of the body's functions,
including how organs and systems work together to maintain
homeostasis. It focuses on normal processes, not disease.
2. The primary goal of physiology is to understand:
A. How cells divide
B. How the body responds to stress
C. The underlying causes of diseases
D. How the body maintains homeostasis
Correct Answer: D
Rationale: The main focus of physiology is to understand how
