,CHAPTER 1 — THE STUDY OF ANATOMY AND PHYSIOLOGY
Ht Ht Ht Ht Ht Ht Ht Ht




1. A nurse is teaching a newly admitted patient the meaning of
Ht Ht Ht Ht Ht Ht Ht Ht Ht Ht


homeostasis. Which statement by the patient indicates correct
Ht Ht Ht Ht Ht Ht Ht Ht


understanding?
Ht


A. “Homeostasis means my body will never change.” Ht Ht Ht Ht Ht Ht


B. “Homeostasis means my internal conditions stay relatively stable.”
Ht Ht Ht Ht Ht Ht Ht


C. “Homeostasis means my body temperature must be exactly the same
Ht Ht Ht Ht Ht Ht Ht Ht Ht


at all times.”
Ht Ht Ht


D. “Homeostasis means I cannot get sick.” Ht Ht Ht Ht Ht


Answer: B. Ht


Rationale: Homeostasis refers to maintaining internal conditions within a
Ht Ht Ht Ht Ht Ht Ht Ht


relatively stable range, not absolute unchanging values. Choices A and C
Ht Ht Ht Ht Ht Ht Ht Ht Ht Ht Ht


are absolute statements and incorrect; D is false.

2. Which organizational level is directly above the tissue level?
Ht Ht Ht Ht Ht Ht Ht Ht


A. Molecule
B. Cell
C. Organ
D. Organism
Answer: C. Ht


Rationale: Levels: molecule → organelle → cell → tissue → organ →
Ht Ht Ht Ht Ht Ht Ht Ht Ht Ht Ht


organ system → organism. The organ level is directly above tissue.

3. A patient’s arterial blood gas shows a pH of 7.32. Which term best
Ht Ht Ht Ht Ht Ht Ht Ht Ht Ht Ht Ht


describes this condition?
Ht Ht Ht


A. Normal
B. Alkalosis
C. Acidosis
D. Hypoxia
Answer: C. Ht


Rationale: Normal pH ~7.35–7.45. pH 7.32 is below normal = acidosis.
Ht Ht Ht Ht Ht Ht Ht Ht Ht Ht


Hypoxia relates to oxygen, not pH.

4. In a negative feedback loop that controls body temperature,
Ht Ht Ht Ht Ht Ht Ht Ht


which component detects the change?
Ht Ht Ht Ht Ht


A. Effector
B. Integrating center Ht


C. Receptor
D. Stimulus

, Answer: C. Ht


Rationale: Receptors detect changes (e.g., thermoreceptors detect
Ht Ht Ht Ht Ht Ht


temperature). Integrating center (hypothalamus) compares input and
Ht Ht Ht Ht Ht Ht Ht


signals effectors that enact changes.
Ht Ht Ht Ht Ht




5. Scenario: A patient’s blood pressure falls. The baroreceptors in the
Ht Ht Ht Ht Ht Ht Ht Ht Ht


carotid sinuses sense this and increase sympathetic output to the heart.
Ht Ht Ht Ht Ht Ht Ht Ht Ht Ht Ht


What role do the heart and blood vessels play in this feedback loop?
Ht Ht Ht Ht Ht Ht Ht Ht Ht Ht Ht Ht Ht


A. Stimulus
B. Receptor
C. Integrating center Ht


D. Effector
Answer: D. Ht


Rationale: Effectors carry out the response (increase heart
Ht Ht Ht Ht Ht Ht Ht


rate/vasoconstriction) to restore blood pressure.
Ht Ht Ht Ht Ht




6. Which body plane divides the body into left and right portions?
Ht Ht Ht Ht Ht Ht Ht Ht Ht Ht


A. Frontal (coronal) Ht


B. Transverse
C. Sagittal
D. Oblique
Answer: C. Ht


Rationale: Sagittal plane divides left/right; frontal divides anterior/posterior;
Ht Ht Ht Ht Ht Ht Ht


transverse divides superior/inferior.

7. Which of the following terms correctly describes the location of the
Ht Ht Ht Ht Ht Ht Ht Ht Ht Ht


wrist relative to the elbow?
Ht Ht Ht Ht Ht


A. Proximal
B. Distal
C. Medial
D. Superior

Which organ is most likely to be located there?
Ht Ht Ht Ht Ht Ht Ht Ht Ht


A. Spleen
B. Stomach

, C. Cecum
D. Urinary bladder Ht


Answer: B. Ht


Rationale: Epigastric region overlies stomach (superior to umbilical region).
Ht Ht Ht Ht Ht Ht Ht Ht


Spleen is left hypochondriac; cecum is right iliac; bladder is suprapubic.

9. Which body cavity contains the heart and lungs?
Ht Ht Ht Ht Ht Ht Ht


A. Cranial cavity Ht


B. Thoracic cavity Ht


C. Abdominopelvic cavity Ht


D. Spinal cavity Ht


Answer: B. Ht


Rationale: Thoracic cavity houses lungs and heart (within mediastinum).
Ht Ht Ht Ht Ht Ht Ht Ht


Cranial is brain, abdominopelvic holds abdominal and pelvic organs.

10. Which of the following best describes a positive feedback mechanism?
Ht Ht Ht Ht Ht Ht Ht Ht Ht


A. It always restores homeostasis.
Ht Ht Ht


B. It amplifies an initial change, often moving system away from
Ht Ht Ht Ht Ht Ht Ht Ht Ht


starting point.
Ht Ht


C. It prevents changes in the internal environment.
Ht Ht Ht Ht Ht Ht


D. It is the most common mechanism for long-term control.
Ht Ht Ht Ht Ht Ht Ht Ht


Answer: B. Ht


Rationale: Positive feedback amplifies changes (e.g., oxytocin in
