, Chapter 01 The Sciences of Anatomy and Physiology
Multiple choice:
1) If a scientist forms and tests a hypothesis, but gets unexpected results, what is a
logical next step? Check all that apply.
A) Accept the original hypothesis
B) Reject the original hypothesis
C) Revise the original hypothesis
D) Design a new experiment based on a new or modified hypothesis.
2) Some researchers think pheromones are important tools in human communication.
Pheromones are chemical signals that one individual sends to another. What research
questions might be asked by anatomists, and what questions might be asked by physiologists,
to determine if pheromones are important to humans?
3) Iron atoms help our blood transport oxygen. Describe each level of anatomical
structural complexity for an iron atom in your blood, working from the simplest level (atom)
to the most complex (organism).

, 4) If someone speaks too loudly into a microphone, a public address system will sometimes
produce a loud whistle of amplified feedback. Explain whether this is an example of negative or
positive feedback, and explain how the microphone, control box,and speaker of the system
serve as the different components of a feedback loop.
5) The discipline known as anatomy examines similarities and
differences across species.
6) The discipline that studies the functions of the nervous system, including the
way that impulses are conducted, is known as .
7) The discipline that associates changes in organ system function with disease or injury
is known as .
8) The group of metabolic reactions in which smaller molecules are combined to form larger ones is
.
9) Specialized subunits of cells that are made of macromolecules are called _ .
