physiology, emphasizing the integrative approach that connects structure to function and
highlights the interdependence of organ systems. Each question is designed to test recall,
application, and clinical reasoning skills.
SECTION 1: THE SCIENCES OF ANATOMY AND PHYSIOLOGY
Questions 1–15
Q1. The word "anatomy" comes from:
A. Latin and means "to be born."
B. Hebrew and means "shape."
C. Greek and means "to cut apart."
D. German and means "body."
Answer: C
Explanation: The term "anatomy" is derived from the Greek word "anatome," meaning "to
cut apart" or "dissection," reflecting the early study of the body through dissection.
, Q2. A scientist who describes the layers of the heart wall and their relationship to the
surrounding pericardium would be a(n):
A. Physiologist
B. Anatomist
C. Histologist
D. Embryologist
Answer: B
Explanation: Anatomy is the study of structure. A scientist describing the layers of the heart
wall is examining structural relationships, which is the domain of anatomy.
Q3. Which of the following is the correct sequence of levels of structural organization from
simplest to most complex?
A. Chemical, cellular, tissue, organ, organ system, organism
B. Cellular, chemical, tissue, organ, organism, organ system
C. Tissue, cellular, chemical, organ, organ system, organism
D. Chemical, tissue, cellular, organ, organism, organ system
Answer: A
