MULTIPLE CHOICE. Choose the one alternative that best completes the statement or answers the
question.
1) A person in the anatomical position is visualized to be: 1)
A) sitting down. B) standing upright.
C) laying down on his or her back. D) laying down on the
stomach. Answer: B
Diff: 0 Type: MC
2) In the anatomical position, the palms are on 2)
the:
A) posterior (dorsal) surface. B) lateral surface.
C) superior (cranial) surface. D) anterior (ventral) surface.
Answer: D
Diff: 0 Type: MC
ESSAY. Write your answer in the space provided or on a separate sheet of paper.
3) Define homeostasis and homeostatic imbalance.
Answer: Homeostasis is maintenance of the body's internal environment. Disturbances in homeostasis,
known as homeostatic imbalances, can result in disease or death if uncorrected.
Diff: 0 Type: ES
TRUE/FALSE. Write 'T' if the statement is true and 'F' if the statement is false.
4) According to the principle of complementarity of structure and function, structure and 4)
function are related only at the cellular level.
Answer: True False
Diff: 0 Type: TF
MULTIPLE CHOICE. Choose the one alternative that best completes the statement or
answers the question.
5) Which organ system includes blood vessels and the heart? 5)
A) endocrine system B) lymphatic system
C) cardiovascular system D) respiratory
system Answer: C
Diff: 0 Type: MC
6) In laboratory, you will study the overall structure and shape of the femur bone 6)
without the aid of a microscope. This is a study known as:
A) gross anatomy. B) systemic anatomy.
C) microscopic anatomy. D) regional
anatomy. Answer: A
Diff: 0 Type: MC

, 7) When you go outside on a hot summer day, your body temperature heats up above 7)
the normal range. Receptors in your brain detect the change in body temperature.
The brain activates nerve cells that send messages to sweat glands, causing the
body temperature to fall as the sweat evaporates from the skin. What part of this
feedback loop is the effector?
A) nerve cells B) brain
C) sweat glands D) increased body
temperature Answer: C
Diff: 0 Type: MC
8) What would a needle travel through as it enters the right lung? 8)
A) visceral pleura, serous fluid, parietal pleura, right lung
B) parietal pleura, serous fluid, visceral pleura, right lung
C) parietal pleura, serous fluid, right lung, visceral pleura
D) visceral pericardium, serous fluid, parietal pericardium,
right lung Answer: B
Diff: 0 Type: MC
ESSAY. Write your answer in the space provided or on a separate sheet of paper.
9) Discuss why anatomical position is used.
Answer: Anatomical position provides accurate communication among scientists and health care
professionals since it prevents experimental and medical errors. Anatomical position also
provides a common frame of reference from which all body parts and regions are described.
Diff: 0 Type: ES
10)Summarize the principle of complementarity of structure and function.
Answer: The principle of complementarity can be summarized as form follows function. In other
words, the form of a structure is always such that it best suits its function.
Diff: 0 Type: ES
MULTIPLE CHOICE. Choose the one alternative that best completes the statement or answers the
question.
11)What major organs are housed in the thoracic cavity? 11)
A) urinary bladder, reproductive organs B) lungs, heart, esophagus, trachea
C) stomach, intestines, liver, pancreas D) brain and spinal
cord Answer: B
