# TEST BANK FOR ANATOMY AND PHYSIOLOGY BY OPENSTAX SECOND EDITION
## Chapter 1: An Introduction to the Human Body
**1. _____ is the study of the larger structures of the body, those visible without the aid of
magnification**
(A) Gross anatomy
(B) Microscopic anatomy
(C) Macroscopic anatomy
(D) Physical anatomy
**Ans: A**
**Rationale:** Gross anatomy (also called macroscopic anatomy) is the study of structures visible to the
naked eye without magnification. Microscopic anatomy requires a microscope.
---
**2. The word "anatomy" comes from a Greek root that means "________"**
(A) To cut apart
(B) To fix with
,(C) To view inside
(D) To study exterior
**Ans: A**
**Rationale:** The word "anatomy" comes from the Greek words "ana" (up) and "tomia" (cutting),
meaning "to cut apart." This reflects the historical practice of dissection.
---
**3. Dissection is still used in ________**
(A) Medical schools
(B) Pathology labs
(C) Anatomy courses
(D) All of above
**Ans: D**
**Rationale:** Dissection remains a valuable educational and diagnostic tool used in medical schools,
pathology labs, and anatomy courses.
---
**4. Microscopic anatomy includes ________**
(A) Histology
(B) Cytology
(C) Both of above
(D) None of above
**Ans: C**
**Rationale:** Microscopic anatomy includes histology (study of tissues) and cytology (study of cells),
both requiring magnification.
,---
**5. ________ is the study of the structures that make up a discrete body system—that is, a group of
structures that work together to perform a unique body function.**
(A) Regional anatomy
(B) Systematic anatomy
(C) Both of above
(D) None of above
**Ans: B**
**Rationale:** Systematic anatomy (also called systemic anatomy) studies the body by organ systems,
whereas regional anatomy studies the body by regions.
---
**6. Human physiology is the scientific study of the ________ of the structures of the body and the ways
in which they work together to support the functions of life.**
(A) Chemistry
(B) Physic
(C) Both Above
(D) None of Above
**Ans: C**
**Rationale:** Physiology studies both the chemistry and physics of body structures and how they
function together.
---
**7. Homeostasis is the state of steady ________ maintained by living things.**
, (A) Internal Condition
(B) External conditions
(C) Both Above
(D) None of Above
**Ans: A**
**Rationale:** Homeostasis refers to maintaining a stable internal environment despite changes in
external conditions.
---
**8. An organ is an anatomically distinct structure of the body composed of ________ tissue types.**
(A) One
(B) Two
(C) Two or more
(D) None of above
**Ans: C**
**Rationale:** Organs are composed of two or more tissue types that work together to perform specific
functions.
---
**9. In ________ organisms, including humans, all cells, tissues, organs, and organ systems of the body
work together to maintain the life and health of the organism.**
(A) Unicellular
(B) Bicellular
(C) Multicellular
(D) None of above
