MULTIPLE CHOICE


1. Which Of The Following Is Correctly Matched?
A. Anatomy/Body Function
B. Bacteria/Multicellular
C. Organs/One Primary Tissue
D. Physiology/Body Function
ANS: D
Physiology Is The Study Of Body Functions, While Anatomy Deals With Body
Structure. Bacteria Are Unicellular, Not Multicellular, And Organs Are Made Of
Multiple Types Of Tissues, Not Just One.
PTS: 1 REF: 3 BLM: Remember


2. Which Of The Following Is A Mechanistic Rather Than A Teleological Explanation
Of A Physiological Phenomenon?
A. A Person Breathes To Obtain Oxygen.
B. A Person Sweats To Cool Off.
C. A Person’s Stomach Secretes Digestive Juices Because It Is Stimulated By The
Nervous System.
D. A Person’s Heart Beats To Pump Blood.
ANS: C
Mechanistic Explanations Focus On How Something Happens (The Process), While
Teleological Explanations Focus On Why It Happens (The Purpose). Option C Explains
The Mechanism—Nervous Stimulation—Not The Purpose Of Secretion.
PTS: 1 REF: 3 BLM: Higher Order

,3. When A Blood Capillary Is Cut, A Clot Forms Under Which Feedback Control
System?
A. Negative Feedback
B. Positive Feedback
C. Extrinsic Control
D. Feedforward
ANS: B
Positive Feedback Amplifies A Response—Like The Clotting Process Where Platelets
Release Chemicals That Attract More Platelets Until The Wound Is Sealed.
PTS: 1 REF: 16 BLM: Higher Order


4. Which Of The Following Type Of Tissues Uses The Terminology “Smooth”?
A. Connective Tissue
B. Epithelial Tissue
C. Glandular Tissue
D. Muscle Tissue
ANS: D
Smooth Muscle Is A Type Of Muscle Tissue Found In The Walls Of Hollow Organs
(E.G., Intestines, Blood Vessels) And Is Involuntary And Non-Striated.
PTS: 1 REF: 6 BLM: Remember


5. Which Of The Following Is An Example Of A Positive Feedback System?
A. Body Temperature Regulation
B. Birth Of A Baby
C. Room Temperature Regulation
D. Blood Ph Regulation
ANS: B
During Childbirth, Contractions Cause The Release Of Oxytocin, Which Intensifies
Contractions, A Classic Example Of Positive Feedback Until Delivery Occurs.
PTS: 1 REF: 16 BLM: Higher Order

,6. Which Of The Following Tissues Can Be Found On The Outer Layer Of The Skin?
A. Connective Tissue
B. Endocrine Tissue
C. Epithelial Tissue
D. Muscle Tissue
ANS: C
The Outer Layer Of The Skin (Epidermis) Is Made Of Epithelial Tissue, Which Serves
As A Protective Barrier.
PTS: 1 REF: 6 BLM: Remember


7. Which Statement Is Correct For The Respiratory System?
A. It Eliminates Unwanted Substances From The Body.
B. It Consists Of The Heart, Blood Vessels, And Lungs.
C. It Plays An Important Role In Maintaining The Proper Ph Of The Internal
Environment By Adjusting The Rate Of Removal Of Acid-Forming Carbon Dioxide.
D. It Is Responsible For Taking Up Nutrients For The Body.
ANS: C
The Respiratory System Helps Regulate Blood Ph By Controlling The Level Of CO₂,
Which Forms Carbonic Acid In The Blood. The Heart And Vessels Are Part Of The
Circulatory System, Not Respiratory.
PTS: 1 REF: 12 BLM: Higher Order


8. Which Of The Following Statements Is NOT True For Connective Tissue?
A. Bone Is A Connective Tissue.
B. Blood Is A Connective Tissue.
C. Elastin Can Be Found In The Extracellular Material Of Connective Tissue.
D. Connective Tissue Forms Coverings And Linings Of The Body Cavities.
ANS: D
Coverings And Linings Are Primarily Formed By Epithelial Tissue, Not Connective
Tissue. Connective Tissue Supports, Binds, And Connects Other Tissues.
PTS: 1 REF: 6 BLM: Remember

, 9. Which Sequence Represents The Correct Hierarchy Of Biological Organization?
A. Cell, Organ, Tissue, System, Organism
B. Cell, Tissue, Organ, System, Organism
C. Tissue, Cell, System, Organism, Organ
D. Organ, Tissue, Cell, Organism, System
ANS: B
The Correct Sequence Follows The Order From The Simplest To The Most Complex:
Cell → Tissue → Organ → Organ System → Organism.
PTS: 1 REF: 4 BLM: Remember


10. Which Statement Is Correct For Extracellular Fluid?
A. It Is The External Environment Of The Body.
B. It Is Inside Each Cell.
C. It Consists Of The Plasma And Interstitial Fluid.
D. It Consists Of Plasma Only.
ANS: C
Extracellular Fluid Includes Plasma (In Blood) And Interstitial Fluid (Between Cells),
Serving As The Internal Environment For Cells.
PTS: 1 REF: 10 BLM: Remember


11. Which Of The Following Systems Mainly Distributes Nutrients And Oxygen
Through The Body?
A. Circulatory System
B. Digestive System
C. Endocrine System
D. Integumentary System
ANS: A
The Circulatory System (Heart, Blood, And Vessels) Is Responsible For Transporting
Nutrients, Oxygen, And Waste Throughout The Body.
PTS: 1 REF: 12 BLM: Remember
