,Chapter 1: Introduction to the Body
1. The study of body structure is called:
A. Physiology
B. Pathology
C. Anatomy
D. Histology
Rationale: Anatomy focuses on the form and structure of body parts.
2. The study of how the body functions is called:
A. Anatomy
B. Pathology
C. Physiology
D. Biology
Rationale: Physiology deals with processes and mechanisms.
3. Which level of organization is the simplest?
A. Tissue
B. Cell
C. Chemical
D. Organ
Rationale: The chemical level forms the foundation for all higher
levels.
4. The smallest living unit of the body is the:
A. Organelle
B. Cell
C. Tissue
D. Atom
Rationale: Cells are the basic units of life.
, 5. Groups of similar cells performing a function are called:
A. Organs
B. Tissues
C. Systems
D. Molecules
Rationale: Tissues combine to form organs.
6. Which system protects underlying structures and regulates
temperature?
A. Respiratory
B. Muscular
C. Integumentary
D. Nervous
Rationale: The skin is part of the integumentary system.
7. Which system provides framework and protection?
A. Muscular
B. Skeletal
C. Digestive
D. Nervous
Rationale: Bones support and protect vital organs.
8. Which system transports oxygen and nutrients?
A. Respiratory
B. Cardiovascular
C. Nervous
D. Urinary
Rationale: The cardiovascular system circulates blood.
9. The urinary system’s main role is to:
A. Transport oxygen
B. Eliminate waste
C. Store energy
D. Protect organs
Rationale: Kidneys filter and excrete waste.
