Section Reference 1: Sec 1.1 Anatomy and Physiology Defined Question type: Multiple Choice 2) A group of cells that work together to perform a particular function is a(n) a) tissue. b) organ. c) molecules. d) compounds. e) organism. ANSWER: a Difficulty: Easy Bloom code: Knowledge Learning Objective 1: LO1.2 Identify the locations and functions of each of the organ systems and major organs of the human body. Section Reference 1: Sec 1.2 Levels of Structural Organization and Body Systems. Question type: Multiple Selection 3) What process occurs when amino acids build new proteins? Select all that apply. a) Metabolism b) Anabolism c) Catabolism d) Responsiveness e) Differentiation Answer 1: a Answer 2: b Difficulty: Medium Bloom code: Application Learning Objective 1: LO1.3 Define the important life processes of the human body. Section Reference 1: Sec 1.3 Characteristics of the Living Human Organism Question type: Essay 4) How are reproduction, differentiation and growth related? ANSWER: Difficulty: Hard Bloom code: Synthesis Learning Objective 1: LO1.3 Define the important life processes of the human body. Section Reference 1: Sec 1.3 Characteristics of the Living Human Organism Solution: Reproduction occurs through the fertilization of an ovum by a sperm cell to form a zygote, followed by repeated cell divisions and the differentiation of these cells. Growth is an increase in body size that results from an increase in the size of existing cells, an increase in the number of cells, or both. Question type: Multiple Choice 5) The two organ systems that predominantly regulate and maintain homeostasis are the a) cardiovascular and integumentary systems. b) nervous and endocrine systems. c) cardiovascular and respiratory systems. d) respiratory and muscular systems. e) urinary and integumentary systems. ANSWER: b Difficulty: Easy Bloom code: Comprehension Learning Objective 1: LO1.4 Explain the importance of homeostasis and describe the relationship of homeostatic imbalances to disorders. Section Reference 1: Sec 1.4 Homeostasis 6) Which body fluid fills the narrow spaces between cells and tissues? a) Lymph b) Blood plasma c) Interstitial fluid d) Intracellular fluid e) Vitreous body ANSWER: c Difficulty: Medium loom code: Application Learning Objective 1: LO1.4 Explain the importance of homeostasis and describe the relationship of homeostatic imbalances to disorders. Section Reference 1: Sec 1.4 Homeostasis Question type: Essay 7) Describe the differences between positive and negative feedback systems. ANSWER: Difficulty: Medium Bloom code: Analysis Learning Objective 1: LO1.4 Explain the importance of homeostasis and describe the relationship of homeostatic imbalances to disorders. Section Reference 1: Sec 1.4 Homeostasis Solution: A positive feedback system will strengthen or reinforce a change in one of the body’scontrolled conditions while a negative feedback system will reverse a change in a controlled condition.
