,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 Diff: Easy Page: 8
Rationale: Gross anatomy focuses on body parts visible to the naked eye, unlike microscopic
anatomy which needs magnification.
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 Diff: Easy Page: 8
Rationale: The Greek root anatome means “to cut apart,” reflecting the traditional study of
anatomy through dissection.
3. Dissection is still used in …………
(A) Medical schools
(B) Pathology labs
(C) Anatomy courses
(D) All of above
Ans: D Diff: Easy Page: 8
Rationale: Dissection remains essential for medical and anatomy training, and for research in
pathology.
4. Microscopic anatomy includes …………
(A) Histology
(B) Cytology
, (C) Both of above
(D) None of above
Ans: C Diff: Easy Page: 8
Rationale: Microscopic anatomy involves histology (study of tissues) and cytology (study of cells).
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: C Diff: Easy Page: 9
Rationale: Both regional anatomy and systematic anatomy describe how body parts are organized
and studied.
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 Diff: Medium Page: 9
Rationale: Physiology depends on both chemistry and physics principles to explain biological
processes.
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 Diff: Easy Page: 9
Rationale: Homeostasis refers to maintaining stable internal conditions despite external changes.
