CHAPTER 1: AN INTRODUCTION TO ANATOMY AND
PHYSIOLOGY
Multiple Choice Questions
1. Anatomy is defined as the study of:
A) Chemical reactions within cells
B) Body structure and the relationships among structures
C) How the body functions
D) Disease processes and their effects
Answer: B
Rationale: Anatomy is the study of internal and external body structures and the physical
relationships among body parts. Physiology (C) is the study of how the body functions. A and D
describe other disciplines.
2. The study of how the body functions is called:
A) Anatomy
B) Pathology
C) Physiology
D) Histology
Answer: C
Rationale: Physiology is the study of body function—how the body works. Anatomy (A) studies
structure. Pathology (B) studies disease. Histology (D) studies tissues.
3. Which level of structural organization involves two or more tissue types working together
to perform specific functions?
A) Cellular level
B) Tissue level
, C) Organ level
D) Organ system level
Answer: C
Rationale: An organ consists of two or more tissue types that work together to carry out a
particular function. The tissue level (B) consists of similar cells working together. The organ
system level (D) involves groups of organs working together.
4. Which of the following represents the correct order of structural organization from simplest
to most complex?
A) Chemical → cellular → tissue → organ → organ system → organism
B) Cellular → chemical → tissue → organ → organ system → organism
C) Chemical → tissue → cellular → organ → organ system → organism
D) Cellular → tissue → chemical → organ system → organ → organism
Answer: A
Rationale: The correct hierarchy from simplest to most complex is: chemical (atoms, molecules)
→ cellular (cells) → tissue → organ → organ system → organism.
5. The term that refers to all chemical reactions occurring in the body is:
A) Anabolism
B) Catabolism
C) Metabolism
D) Homeostasis
Answer: C
Rationale: Metabolism refers to all chemical reactions occurring in the body. Anabolism (A) is the
building-up phase of metabolism. Catabolism (B) is the breaking-down phase. Homeostasis (D)
refers to maintenance of a stable internal environment.
6. Which of the following is NOT one of the necessary life functions?
A) Responsiveness
B) Movement
C) Reproduction
D) Transmutation
Answer: D
Rationale: Transmutation is not a life function. Necessary life functions include maintaining
boundaries, movement, responsiveness, digestion, metabolism, excretion, reproduction, and
growth.
