,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 the: 2)
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 function are 4)
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 without the aid of a 6)
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 the normal 7)
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
