CHAPTER 1. INTRODUCTION TO HUMAN ANATOMY AND PHYSIOLOGY

EDITION, (2024) TEST BANK
MULTIPLE CHOICE
1) THE ANATOMICAL TERM FOR THE FOREARM IS:
A) BRACHIAL
B) ANTEBRACHIAL
C) CARPAL
D) RADIAL
ANSWER>>B)
THE FOREARM IS THE REGION OF THE UPPER LIMB BETWEEN THE ELBOW AND THE
WRIST. IN ANATOMICAL TERMINOLOGY, THE TERM "ANTEBRACHIAL" SPECIFICALLY
REFERS TO THIS AREA. BRACHIAL REFERS TO THE UPPER ARM, WHICH IS THE SECTION
OF THE ARM BETWEEN THE SHOULDER AND THE ELBOW.
CARPAL PERTAINS TO THE WRIST, WHICH IS THE JOINT CONNECTING THE FOREARM TO
THE HAND. RADIAL AND ULNAR REFER TO THE TWO BONES IN THE FOREARM (THE
RADIUS AND ULNA), BUT DO NOT SPECIFICALLY DESCRIBE THE ENTIRE FOREARM
REGION.
2) WHAT INVESTIGATOR WOULD CONDUCT AN EXPERIMENT TO DETERMINE HOW
TEMPERATURE CHANGES AFFECT THE RATE AT WHICH THE HEART BEATS?
A) ANATOMIST
B) PHYSIOLOGIST
C) CHEMIST
D) BIOCHEMIST
, ANSWER>>B)
A PHYSIOLOGIST STUDIES THE FUNCTIONS AND MECHANISMS OF LIVING ORGANISMS.
IN THIS CASE, UNDERSTANDING HOW TEMPERATURE AFFECTS HEART RATE INVOLVES
EXPLORING PHYSIOLOGICAL RESPONSES, MAKING A PHYSIOLOGIST THE MOST
APPROPRIATE INVESTIGATOR. ANATOMISTS FOCUS ON STRUCTURES, CHEMISTS DEAL
WITH SUBSTANCES AND THEIR REACTIONS, BIOCHEMISTS STUDY CHEMICAL
PROCESSES IN LIVING ORGANISMS, AND PHARMACOLOGISTS FOCUS ON DRUG EFFECTS
ON BIOLOGICAL SYSTEMS.
3) BLOOD PLASMA IS AN EXAMPLE OF WHAT TYPE OF FLUID?
A) INTRACELLULAR
B) EXTRACELLULAR
C) SEROUS
D) ACIDIC
ANSWER>>B)
BLOOD PLASMA IS THE LIQUID COMPONENT OF BLOOD AND IS CLASSIFIED AS
EXTRACELLULAR FLUID. THIS FLUID EXISTS OUTSIDE CELLS AND INCLUDES ALL
BODILY FLUIDS THAT ARE NOT CONTAINED WITHIN CELLS. INTRACELLULAR FLUID IS
FOUND INSIDE CELLS, SEROUS FLUID IS A SPECIFIC TYPE OF EXTRACELLULAR FLUID IN
BODY CAVITIES, AND ACIDIC DOES NOT DESCRIBE A FLUID TYPE. INTERSTITIAL FLUID
IS A SUBSET OF EXTRACELLULAR FLUID FOUND IN THE SPACES BETWEEN CELLS, BUT
PLASMA SPECIFICALLY REFERS TO THE LIQUID IN BLOOD.
4) WHICH OF THE FOLLOWING LISTS ILLUSTRATES THE IDEA OF INCREASING
LEVELS OF ORGANIZATION?
A) MOLECULES, CELLS, TISSUES, ORGANS, ORGAN SYSTEMS
B) TISSUES, CELLS, ORGANS, MOLECULES, ORGAN SYSTEMS
C) ORGANS, MOLECULES, ORGAN SYSTEMS, CELLS, TISSUES
D) CELL, ATOM, TISSUE, MOLECULE, MACROMOLECULE
ANSWER>>A)
THIS LIST ACCURATELY REFLECTS THE HIERARCHICAL ORGANIZATION OF BIOLOGICAL
STRUCTURES. STARTING FROM MOLECULES, WHICH ARE THE SMALLEST UNITS, TO
