,Section A - Introduction TO Anatomy AND Physiology
Q1.
In a negative feedback loop, which component is responsible for integrating the input and
determining the appropriate response?
A. Receptor B. Control center
C. Effector D. Stimulus
Correct: B - Control center
Rationale:The control center receives input from the receptor, compares it to the set point,
and initiates the response via the effector. The receptor detects changes, the effector carries
out the response, and the stimulus is the initial change.
Q2.
A mutation in the gene encoding aquaporin-1 would most directly impair which
physiological process?
A. Facilitated diffusion of glucose across the B. Osmotic water movement across the
plasma membrane plasma membrane
C. Active transport of sodium ions across D. Endocytosis of extracellular fluid
the membrane
Correct: B - Osmotic water movement across the plasma membrane
Rationale:Aquaporins are water channel proteins that facilitate rapid water movement across
membranes. A mutation would impair osmosis. Glucose uses GLUT transporters, sodium
uses pumps, and endocytosis involves vesicle formation.
Q3.
Which of the following best explains why stratified squamous epithelium is well-suited for
the epidermis?
A. It allows for rapid diffusion of gases and B. It provides a barrier against abrasion and
nutrients. pathogen entry.
C. It secretes lubricating mucus to reduce D. It facilitates absorption of UV light for
friction. vitamin D synthesis.
Correct: B - It provides a barrier against abrasion and pathogen entry.
Page 3
, Section A - Introduction TO Anatomy AND Physiology
Rationale: Stratified squamous epithelium consists of multiple layers of cells, providing
mechanical protection and preventing pathogen entry. It is not specialized for diffusion or
secretion; simple epithelium is better for diffusion, and mucus secretion is typical of columnar
epithelium.
Q4.
A patient presents with a deep burn that damages the entire epidermis and part of the
dermis, but hair follicles and sweat glands remain intact. This injury is classified as:
A. First-degree burn B. Second-degree burn (partial thickness)
C. Third-degree burn (full thickness) D. Fourth-degree burn
Correct: B - Second-degree burn (partial thickness)
Rationale:A second-degree burn (partial thickness) involves the epidermis and part of the
dermis, but retains some dermal appendages, allowing for regeneration. First-degree burns
only affect the epidermis; third-degree burns destroy the entire dermis and appendages;
fourth-degree burns extend to underlying tissues.
Q5.
Which of the following is the primary mechanism by which parathyroid hormone (PTH)
increases blood calcium levels?
A. Increasing renal reabsorption of calcium B. Increasing intestinal absorption of
and stimulating osteoclast activity calcium via vitamin D activation
C. Both A and B are correct D. Inhibiting calcitonin secretion from the
thyroid
Correct: C - Both A and B are correct
Rationale:PTH acts on bone (stimulating osteoclasts to release calcium), kidneys (increasing
calcium reabsorption), and indirectly on intestines (by activating vitamin D, which increases
dietary calcium absorption). Calcitonin is not directly inhibited by PTH.
Q6.
During skeletal muscle contraction, the power stroke occurs when:
A. ATP binds to the myosin head, causing it B. Calcium binds to troponin, exposing the
to detach from actin. myosin-binding site on actin.
C. The myosin head pivots, pulling the actin D. ADP and inorganic phosphate are
filament toward the M line. released from the myosin head.
Correct: D - ADP and inorganic phosphate are released from the myosin head.
