, Preface
This Test Bank was developed to accompany Anatomy & Physiology, Fourth Edition, by
Elaine N. Marieb and Katja Hoehn. Each chapter contains a variety of questions,
including:
• Matching Questions
• True/False Questions
• Multiple-Choice Questions
• Fill-in-the-Blank/Short Answer Questions
• Clinical Questions
Since it is often difficult to measure student understanding of conceptual ideas,
especially in physiology, emphasis is placed on the proper design of multiple-choice
questions. Because multiple-choice questions test comprehension as well as recall, a
large number of these questions are provided. Additionally, objective questions lend
themselves well to machine scoring, which is often necessary with large classes.
For each question in this Test Bank, the following information is provided:
Answer: Correct answer. The essay questions include short answers that may be
expanded upon by the instructor or student.
Diff: Level of difficulty. Noted as 1 (relatively easy; requires a thorough
knowledge of vocabulary), 2 (harder; requires greater in-depth under-
standing of vocabulary and basic concepts), and 3 (hard; requires a
thorough understanding of vocabulary and concepts as well as analysis
of this information).
Page Ref: Reference to the page(s) where the vocabulary or concept can be found,
and may include relevant figure and table numbers.
This Test Bank is intended as a complete question source to accompany the text,
but it can also be used to supplement any existing questions an instructor may already
be using. The Test Bank is formatted so that an instructor can cut and paste questions
for preparation of an exam. An interactive Macintosh and Windows CD-ROM version
of this Test Bank is available, which will allow you to easily alter the questions provided
or add new questions to fit your class. Visit the Pearson Higher Education catalog page
to download the electronic version of this printed Test Bank and other available instruc-
tor supplements at www.pearsonhighered.com.
Since testing is an integral part of any course, and science courses in particular are
an ideal arena to explore logical thought processes, we hope this Test Bank will serve as
a nucleus for developing critical thinking in students and will enhance the learning
experience for both students and instructors.
We are always looking for new questions to add to this Test Bank, so please feel free
to suggest questions you would like to see added to the next edition.
