Multiple choice
1. Which of the following describes anatomy?
a. Using devices to investigate parameters such as heart rate and blood pressure
b. Investigating human structure via dissections and other methods
c. Studying the unusual manner in which an organism responds to painful stimuli
d. Examining the physiology of life
