, Preface
This Test Bank is written to accompany Human Anatomy, Sixth Edition, by Elaine N. Marieb,
Patricia Brady Wilhelm, and Jon Mallatt. Each chapter includes a variety of question types, includ-
ing figure, matching, true/false, multiple-choice, short answer, and essay questions. Each question
is assigned a difficulty level ranging from 1 to 3, with 3 being the most difficult, and answers to
questions as well as page references to the main text are provided for each question.
Although this printed Test Bank can be used alone, an electronic version of the Test Bank is

to meet the individual course requirements.
The built-in Question Editor and Graphics Library features allow the user to add or modify
questions and to import graphics, and multiple views and on-screen tools make it easy to transfer
questions to tests and print them in a variety of formats.
Additional course management resources are available to instructors using Human Anatomy,
Sixth Edition, including CourseCompass™, WebCT™, and Blackboard™. All of these programs
are useful for online course management and for implementing distance learning courses; they are
available stand-alone or can be packaged with the test. The content includes selections from the
