PART I. BASIC CELL PROCESSES: INTEGRATION AND COORDINATION

Chapter 1: Introduction To Physiology

Multiple Choice.
1) Physiology Is The Study Of

B) The Tissues And Organs Of The Body At The Microscopic Level.
C) Growth And Reproduction.
D) The Normal Functions Of The Organ Systems.
E) The Facial Features As An Indication Of Personality.
ANS: D
Rationale: Physiology Focuses On The Functions Of Organ Systems.
A) Anatomy Studies Structure, Not Function. B) Microscopic Analysis Relates More To Histology.
C) While Growth And Reproduction Are Physiological Processes, They Are Not The Focus Of The
Field As A Whole.
E) This Relates To Psychology, Not Physiology.


2) The Literal Meaning Of The Term Physiology Is Knowledge Of

3) Because Anatomy And Physiology Have Different Definitions, They Are Usually Considered
Separately In Studies Of The Body.
A) True
B) False
ANS: A
Rationale: Anatomy (Structure) And Physiology (Function) Are Distinct Fields, Typically Studied
Separately.
B) While They Are Interrelated, Their Definitions Warrant Separate Consideration.


4) The Correct Order From The Smallest To The Largest Is
A) 2, 4, 1, 3, 6, 5.

D) 4, 2, 3, 1, 6, 5.
E) 6, 4, 5, 2, 3, 1.
ANS: C
Rationale: The Correct Order Is Molecule (4), Cell (2), Tissue (1), Organ (3), Organ System (6),
Organism (5).
A) Incorrect Order;
B) Places Organ System Before Organ.
D) Incorrect Sequence;
E) Incorrectly Lists Organism First.


5) This Type Of Explanation Is
A) Mechanistic.
B) Theological.
