Anatomy & Physiology Chapter 1 Test Bank
,which describes the study of the functions of body structures?
a. anatomy
b. physiology
c. endocrinology
d. histology
e. immunology - CORRECT ANSWERS-b. physiology
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 - CORRECT ANSWERS-a. tissue
what process occurs when amino acids build new proteins (select all that apply):
a. metabolism
b. anabolism
c. catabolism
d. responsiveness
e. differentiation - CORRECT ANSWERS-a. metabolism &
b. anabolism
how are reproduction, differentiation, & growth related? - CORRECT ANSWERS-reproduction occurs
through the fertilization of an ovum by a sperm cell to form a zygote, followed by repeated cell divisions
& 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.
the two organ systems that predominantly regulate & maintain homeostasis are the
a. cardiovascular & integumentary systems
b. nervous & endocrine systems
, c. cardiovascular & respiratory systems
d. respiratory & muscular systems
e. urinary & integumentary systems - CORRECT ANSWERS-b. nervous & endocrine systems
which body fluid fills the narrow spaces between cells & tissues?
a. lymph
b. blood plasma
c. interstitial fluid
e. vitreous body - CORRECT ANSWERS-c. interstitial fluid
describe the differences between positive & negative feedback systems - CORRECT ANSWERS-a positive
feedback system will strengthen or reinforce a change in one of the bodies controlled conditions while a
negative feedback system will reverse a change in a controlled condition
hormonal or electrical signals are sent from the control center to the
a. receptors
b. stimulus
c. afferent pathway
d. effectors
e. efferent pathway - CORRECT ANSWERS-d. effectors
a component that detects decreasing oxygen concentrations in blood would be the
a. receptor
b. muscle
c. response
d. effector - CORRECT ANSWERS-a. receptor
if blood concentrations of thyroid hormones increase above a certain level, thyroid releasing hormone
(TRH) neurons in the hypothalamus are inhibited & stop secreting TRH. this is an example of:
a. negative feedback
