Liberty University BIOL213: Anatomy &
Physiology I – Midterm Exam (150+
Questions And Answers with
Rationales)

COURSE OVERVIEW
BIOL213 Human Anatomy and Physiology I is a study of
the structure and function of the human body with
emphasis on cells, tissues, skin, nerves, and special
senses. The course introduces the need all living
organisms have for homeostasis and the homeostatic
mechanisms employed by the human body.
Key Topics Covered on the Midterm:
• Introduction to Anatomy & Physiology (Levels of
Organization, Homeostasis)
• Chemistry of Life (Atoms, Molecules, pH, Organic
Compounds)
• Cell Structure & Function (Organelles, Membrane
Transport)

, • Histology (Epithelial, Connective, Muscle, Nervous
Tissues)
• The Integumentary System
• The Skeletal System
• The Muscular System
• The Nervous System (Introduction & Central Nervous
System)


PART 1: INTRODUCTION TO ANATOMY & PHYSIOLOGY
(Questions 1-20)
Question 1
What is the study of the structure of the body and its
parts called?
• A) Physiology
• B) Anatomy
• C) Histology
• D) Cytology
• Answer: B

, • Rationale: Anatomy is the scientific discipline that
investigates the body's structure. Physiology is the
study of the processes or functions of living things.


Question 2
What is the study of the functions of the body and its
parts called?
• A) Anatomy
• B) Physiology
• C) Histology
• D) Pathology
• Answer: B
• Rationale: Physiology is the scientific investigation of
the processes or functions of living things. Anatomy
and physiology are closely related—structure
determines function, and function reflects structure.


Question 3
What is gross anatomy?

, • A) The study of structures seen with the naked eye
• B) The study of structures seen with a microscope
• C) The study of cells
• D) The study of tissues
• Answer: A
• Rationale: Gross anatomy (macroscopic anatomy)
examines structures that can be seen without a
microscope. Microscopic anatomy (histology)
requires a microscope to view tissues and cells.


Question 4
What is the correct order of the levels of structural
organization, from simplest to most complex?
• A) Chemical, Cellular, Tissue, Organ, Organ System,
Organism
• B) Chemical, Tissue, Cellular, Organ, Organ System,
Organism
• C) Cellular, Chemical, Tissue, Organ, Organ System,
Organism
