Physiology I – Final 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. The final
exam typically covers the second half of the course,
building upon foundational concepts from the midterm.
Key Topics Covered on the Final Exam:
• The Muscular System (Review & Advanced Concepts)
• The Nervous System (Detailed)
• The Endocrine System
• The Cardiovascular System (Blood & Heart)
, • The Lymphatic System & Immunity
• The Respiratory System
• The Digestive System
• The Urinary System
• The Reproductive System
• Homeostasis & Integration of Systems
PART 1: THE MUSCULAR SYSTEM (Questions 1-25)
Question 1
What are the three types of muscle tissue?
• A) Skeletal, cardiac, and smooth
• B) Skeletal, smooth, and striated
• C) Cardiac, smooth, and voluntary
• D) Skeletal, cardiac, and voluntary
• Answer: A
• Rationale: The three types of muscle tissue are
skeletal (striated, voluntary), cardiac (striated,
involuntary), and smooth (non-striated, involuntary).
,Question 2
Which type of muscle tissue is striated and under
voluntary control?
• A) Cardiac muscle
• B) Smooth muscle
• C) Skeletal muscle
• D) Visceral muscle
• Answer: C
• Rationale: Skeletal muscle is striated and under
voluntary control. It is attached to bones and
responsible for body movement, posture, and heat
production.
Question 3
Which type of muscle tissue is striated and under
involuntary control?
• A) Cardiac muscle
• B) Smooth muscle
, • C) Skeletal muscle
• D) Voluntary muscle
• Answer: A
• Rationale: Cardiac muscle is striated and under
involuntary control. It is found only in the heart and
is responsible for pumping blood.
Question 4
Which type of muscle tissue is non-striated and under
involuntary control?
• A) Cardiac muscle
• B) Smooth muscle
• C) Skeletal muscle
• D) Striated muscle
• Answer: B
• Rationale: Smooth muscle is non-striated and under
involuntary control. It is found in the walls of hollow
organs (e.g., digestive tract, blood vessels, bladder,
uterus).
