,Chapter 1: An Introduction to the Human Body
NJ NJ NJ NJ NJ NJ NJ
1. The study of the structure of body parts and their relationships is called:
NJ NJ NJ NJ NJ NJ NJ NJ NJ NJ NJ NJ
A. Anatomy
B. Physiology
C. Pathology
D. Biochemistry
Answer: A. Anatomy

C. Study of external landmarks
NJ NJ NJ
D. Study of tissues under a microscope
NJ NJ NJ NJ NJ
Answer: B. Study of the function of body parts
NJ NJ NJ NJ NJ NJ NJ NJ
Rationale: Physiology examines how organs and systems work to sustain life.
NJ NJ NJ NJ NJ NJ NJ NJ NJ NJ
3. The smallest structural unit of life is the:
NJ NJ NJ NJ NJ NJ NJ
A. Atom
B. Cell
C. Tissue
D. Organ
Answer: B. Cell NJ NJ
Rationale: Cells are the basic unit of life; atoms form molecules, but are not alive.
NJ NJ NJ NJ NJ NJ NJ NJ NJ NJ NJ NJ NJ NJ
4. Which level of organization consists of groups of similar cells performin
NJ NJ NJ NJ NJ NJ NJ NJ NJ NJ
g a common function?
NJ NJ NJ
A. Organ level NJ
B. Tissue level NJ
C. Chemical level NJ
D. Organ system NJ
Answer: B. Tissue level
NJ NJ NJ
Rationale: Tissues are composed of similar cells with a shared role.
NJ NJ NJ NJ NJ NJ NJ NJ NJ NJ
, 5. The process by which the body maintains stable internal conditions is called:
NJ NJ NJ NJ NJ NJ NJ NJ NJ NJ NJ
A. Homeostasis
B. Metabolism
C. Differentiation
D. Catabolism
Answer: A. Homeostasis
NJ NJ
Rationale: Homeostasis keeps internal conditions stable despite external changes.
NJ NJ NJ NJ NJ NJ NJ NJ
6. A negative feedback mechanism:
NJ NJ NJ
A. Enhances the original stimulus
NJ NJ NJ
B. Reverses a change toward normal conditions
NJ NJ NJ NJ NJ
C. Causes rapid deviations
NJ NJ
D. Leads to homeostatic imbalance
NJ NJ NJ
Answer: B. Reverses a change toward normal conditions
NJ NJ NJ NJ NJ NJ NJ
Rationale: Negative feedback maintains stability by reversing deviations.
NJ NJ NJ NJ NJ NJ NJ
7. The anatomical position is characterized by:
NJ NJ NJ NJ NJ
A. Standing with palms facing forward
NJ NJ NJ NJ
B. Sitting with hands on lap
NJ NJ NJ NJ
C. Lying down with palms downward
NJ NJ NJ NJ
D. Standing with arms crossed
NJ NJ NJ
Answer: A. Standing with palms facing forward
NJ NJ NJ NJ NJ NJ
Rationale: Standard anatomical position ensures consistency in descriptions.
NJ NJ NJ NJ NJ NJ NJ
8. Which directional term means “toward the head”?
NJ NJ NJ NJ NJ NJ
A. Inferior
B. Superior
C. Posterior
D. Distal
Answer: B. Superior
NJ NJ
Rationale: Superior means above; inferior means below.
NJ NJ NJ NJ NJ NJ
