Question 1
Which of the following best describes the principle of complementarity of
structure and function?
A. Each organ system operates independently to maintain homeostasis
B. Function follows form; the structure of a body part dictates its role
C. All systems must be symmetrical for proper function
D. Physiology is unrelated to anatomical features
✅ Correct Answer: B
Rationale: The principle of complementarity states that anatomical structures
are specifically shaped and arranged in ways that enable particular
physiological functions. For example, the flat, thin structure of alveoli
maximizes gas exchange.
Question 2
Which of the following is the correct hierarchical order from simplest to most
complex?
A. Cell → Molecule → Tissue → Organ → Organ system
B. Atom → Molecule → Organelle → Cell → Tissue → Organ → Organ
system → Organism
C. Atom → Tissue → Cell → Organ → Organ system
D. Molecule → Organ → Cell → Organ system
✅ Correct Answer: B
Rationale: This hierarchy reflects the structural complexity, beginning with
atoms and progressing through increasing levels of biological organization to
the whole organism.
Question 3
Homeostasis is maintained primarily through which type of feedback
mechanism?
A. Positive feedback
B. Lateral inhibition
3
, C. Negative feedback
D. Neural saturation
✅ Correct Answer: C
Rationale: Negative feedback loops reduce the original stimulus and are the
primary mechanisms for maintaining stable internal environments (e.g., body
temperature, blood glucose levels).
Question 4
Which anatomical term correctly describes the position of the heart relative to
the lungs?
A. Lateral
B. Posterior
C. Medial
D. Superior
✅ Correct Answer: C
Rationale: The heart lies medially between the lungs in the thoracic cavity,
highlighting spatial relationships in human anatomy.
Question 5
Which body plane divides the body into equal left and right halves?
A. Coronal plane
B. Transverse plane
C. Sagittal plane
D. Midsagittal plane
✅ Correct Answer: D
Rationale: The midsagittal plane cuts through the midline of the body,
resulting in equal left and right halves. The sagittal plane can be off-center.
Question 6
Which organ system is primarily responsible for synthesizing vitamin D and
protecting against environmental hazards?
A. Muscular
