Chapter 1 an introduction to anatomy and physiology
Multiple choice
1) the term means "the study of internal and external structures and the physical relationships among
body parts."
A) anatomy
B) ornithology
C) cytology
D) physiology
ANS>>a
Rationale: anatomy is the branch of biology concerned with the structure of organisms and their parts,
including how different structures relate to one another. It is distinct from physiology, which focuses on
function.
2) is the study of how living organisms perform their vital functions.
A) cytology
B) ornithology
C) anatomy
D) physiology
ANS>>d
Rationale: physiology examines how the body works—for example, how organs, tissues, and cells carry
out processes such as respiration, circulation, and digestion. It complements anatomy’s focus on
structure.
3) the level is comprised of the smallest stable units of matter.
A) tissue
B) cellular
C) molecular
D) organ
ANS>>c
, 4
Rationale: the molecular level consists of atoms and molecules, which are the smallest stable units of
matter. These combine to form the chemical basis for cells and tissues in the body.
4) are the smallest living units in the body.
A) tissues
B) proteins
C) cells
D) molecules
ANS>>c
Rationale: cells are the basic structural and functional units of life. All tissues and organs are composed
of cells that perform specific roles—such as muscle contraction, nerve signaling, and secretion.
5) the pleural cavity surrounds what organ?
A) lung
B) brain
C) heart
D) small intestines
ANS>>a
Rationale: the pleural cavity is a thin, fluid-filled space between the visceral and parietal pleura that
surrounds each lung. It allows smooth lung movement during breathing and prevents friction.
6) the diaphragm separates the abdominopelvic and cavities.
A) cranial
B) thoracic
C) intestinal
D) renal
ANS>>b
Rationale: the diaphragm is a dome-shaped muscle that separates the thoracic cavity (containing the
lungs and heart) from the abdominopelvic cavity (containing digestive and reproductive organs). It also
plays a key role in respiration.
