Questions 1–21
1. Anatomy is best defined as the study of:
A. Chemical reactions in the body
B. Body structure and organization
C. Cellular metabolism
D. Disease processes
Rationale: Anatomy focuses on body structures and their relationships.
2. Physiology primarily studies:
A. Body structure
B. How body parts function
C. Medical terminology
D. Tissue classification
Rationale: Physiology explains how structures perform their functions.
3. The principle of “unity of form and function” means:
A. All body systems work independently
B. Structure determines function
C. Function determines structure only
D. Anatomy is unrelated to physiology
Rationale: Structure and function are inseparably linked.
4. Homeostasis refers to:
A. Constant body temperature
B. Stable internal environment despite change
C. Disease prevention
D. Cell division
Rationale: Homeostasis maintains internal balance.
5. Negative feedback mechanisms:
A. Increase the original stimulus
, B. Maintain stability by reversing change
C. Are harmful
D. Occur only in disease
Rationale: Negative feedback restores normal conditions.
6. Which is an example of negative feedback?
A. Blood clotting
B. Childbirth
C. Regulation of blood glucose
D. Fever
Rationale: Blood glucose regulation counters deviations.
7. Positive feedback differs because it:
A. Stabilizes the body
B. Reverses change
C. Amplifies the initial stimulus
D. Maintains equilibrium
Rationale: Positive feedback accelerates processes to completion.
8. Levels of organization progress from:
A. Cell → molecule → tissue
B. Molecule → cell → tissue → organ → system → organism
C. Tissue → cell → organ
D. Organ → tissue → cell
Rationale: This reflects increasing complexity.
9. The anatomical position includes:
A. Palms facing backward
B. Arms at sides, palms forward
C. Sitting posture
D. Supine position
Rationale: Standard reference position ensures consistency.
10. A sagittal plane divides the body into:
A. Upper and lower
B. Front and back
C. Left and right portions
D. Diagonal sections
