Human Anatomy with ISB Experiential
Learning
Finals Exam (Qns & Ans)
2025
General Instructions
1. Read All Questions Carefully: Make sure you understand each question.
2. Time Management: You have a specific amount of time to complete the exam.
Keep an eye on the clock and pace yourself.
3. Allowed Materials: Only use materials that are explicitly allowed. Unauthorized
materials can lead to disqualification.
4. ANS Format: Follow the required format for your ANS. For example, multiple-
choice questions might need you to select the best ANS, while essay questions
require detailed responses.
5. Academic Integrity: Adhere to the university's honor code. Any form of cheating or
plagiarism is strictly prohibited.
6. Technical Requirements: Ensure your computer and internet connection are
stable. For online exams, you might need a webcam and microphone for proctoring
purposes.
7. Submission: Submit your ANS before the time expires. Late submissions might
not be accepted.

,1. Which anatomical structure primarily regulates heart rhythm?
- A) AV Node
- B) SA Node
- C) Bundle of His
- D) Purkinje Fibers
- Correct ANS: B) SA Node
- Rationale: The sinoatrial (SA) node is known as the heart's
natural pacemaker, initiating the electrical impulses that dictate
heart rhythm.
2. What is the primary function of the glomerulus in the
nephron?
- A) Reabsorption of nutrients
- B) Filtration of blood
- C) Secretion of waste
- D) Regulation of urine pH
- Correct ANS: B) Filtration of blood
- Rationale: The glomerulus filters blood, allowing water,
ions, and small molecules to pass while retaining larger molecules
and cells.

,3. Which of the following cranial nerves is responsible for
vision?
- A) Optic nerve
- B) Vagus nerve
- C) Trigeminal nerve
- D) Facial nerve
- Correct ANS: A) Optic nerve
- Rationale: The optic nerve (CN II) transmits visual
information from the retina to the brain.
4. What is the function of surfactant in the alveoli?
- A) Transport of oxygen
- B) Preventing alveolar collapse
- C) Facilitating gas exchange
- D) Blood filtration
- Correct ANS: B) Preventing alveolar collapse
- Rationale: Surfactant reduces surface tension in the alveoli,
preventing their collapse during expiration.
5. The structure that connects muscle to bone is known as what?
©2024/2025
, - A) Ligament
- B) Fascia
- C) Tendon
- D) Cartilage
- Correct ANS: C) Tendon
- Rationale: Tendons are fibrous connective tissues that
attach muscles to bones.
Fill-in-the-Blank Questions
6. The _______ is the functional unit of the kidney responsible
for filtration and urine formation.
- Correct ANS: nephron
- Rationale: The nephron is the microscopic structural and
functional unit of the kidney.
7. The _______ nervous system controls involuntary bodily
functions.
- Correct ANS: autonomic
- Rationale: The autonomic nervous system regulates
involuntary processes such as heart rate and digestion.
