Introduction to Anatomy and Physiology: Chapter 1 Practice Test Exam

Homeostasis - ANS Is the state of regulated physiological balance Physiology - ANS The study of how living things function or work Net Force - ANS Is the single force that results from the total of all forces acting on a structure at a given time Statistical Interference - ANS Generalizing the findings of a research study to a large population Metabolic Rate - ANS The speed at which the body consumes energy The chin is inferior to the trunk - ANS FALSE Combined loading is the simultaneous action of two or more kinds of forces - ANS TRUE The rotary effect of a force is called torque - ANS TRUE Data is a systematic process that can be used to answer questions or solve or problems - ANS FALSE Collections of similar cells with a common function are called effectors - ANS FALSE Which is not true of the metric system - ANS It's measurements depend on gravity The smallest building blocks of all living things are ___. - ANS Cells Saggital plane movements ____. - ANS Go forward and backward The trachea is an organ of the ______ system. - ANS Respiratory Stress is quantified in the same way as _______. - ANS Pressure Metabolic rate - ANS The speed at which the body consumes energy Kinetics - ANS The analysis of the actions of forces Anatomy - ANS The study of the form of all living things, including plants and animals Anterior (ventral) Cavity - ANS A continuous internal opening that includes the thoracic and abdominopelvic cavities Scientific theory - ANS An explanation of some aspect of the natural world that is based on rigorously tested, repeatedly confirmed research Force - ANS Push or pull exerting influence on a structure Homeostatic imbalance - ANS A condition in which there is a decreased ability for the organ systems to maintain the body's internal environment within normal ranges Research question - ANS A question to be answered or a problem to be solved in a research study Organ system - ANS Two or more organs that work together Bending - ANS A combination of off center forces that creates a pattern of loading
