Comprehensive Anatomy &
Physiology Review: 150 Essential
Questions for Estheticians (Pivot
Point Chapter 105E
### SECTION 1: BASIC ANATOMY AND CELL BIOLOGY (Questions 1-15)
**1. Gross Anatomy is defined as the study of:**
A) Structures that can only be seen with a microscope
B) Structures that can be seen with the naked eye
C) The function of body systems
D) The chemical processes in cells
**Correct Answer: B**
*Rationale: Gross anatomy refers to the study of anatomical structures
that are visible to the naked eye without the aid of a microscope. This
includes organs, muscles, bones, and other large structures.
Microscopic anatomy (histology) requires magnification to study cells
and tissues. *

**2. What are the basic units of living matter?**
A) Tissues
B) Organs
C) Cells
D) Systems
**Correct Answer: C**
*Rationale: Cells are the fundamental structural and functional units of
all living organisms. They are the smallest units capable of performing
life functions. Tissues are formed by groups of similar cells, organs by
groups of tissues, and systems by groups of organs. *

**3. Which of the following is NOT an example of metabolism?**
A) Breaking down nutrients for energy
B) Building new cellular structures
C) Controlling basic functions of cells
D) Converting food into energy
,**Correct Answer: C**
*Rationale: Metabolism refers to all chemical processes that occur
within living organisms to maintain life, including catabolism (breaking
down substances) and anabolism (building substances). Controlling
basic functions of cells is a regulatory process, not a metabolic one. *
---
**4. A group of cells of the same kind make up:**
A) Organs
B) Tissues
C) Systems
D) Organelles
**Correct Answer: B**
*Rationale: Tissues are composed of groups of similar cells that work
together to perform a specific function. Multiple tissue types combine
to form organs, and organs work together in systems. *
---
, **5. Which body system circulates blood through the body?**
A) Respiratory system
B) Nervous system
C) Circulatory system
D) Digestive system
**Correct Answer: C**
*Rationale: The circulatory system (also called the cardiovascular
system) is responsible for transporting blood, oxygen, nutrients, and
waste products throughout the body via the heart, blood vessels, and
blood. *
---
**6. The primary function of the excretory system is to:**
A) Circulate oxygen to cells
B) Produce hormones
C) Eliminate waste and toxins from the body
D) Digest food
**Correct Answer: C**
