1. The study of the structure of body parts and their relationships is called:
CC CC CC CC CC CC CC CC CC CC CC CC
A. Anatomy
B. Physiology
C. Pathology
D. Biochemistry
Answer: A. Anatomy

C. Study of external landmarks
CC CC CC
D. Study of tissues under a microscope
CC CC CC CC CC
Answer: B. Study of the function of body parts
CC CC CC CC CC CC CC CC
Rationale: Physiology examines how organs and systems work to sustain life.

3. The smallest structural unit of life is the:
CC CC CC CC CC CC CC
A. Atom
B. Cell
C. Tissue
D. Organ
Answer: B. Cell CC CC
Rationale: Cells are the basic unit of life; atoms form molecules, but are not alive.

g a common function?
CC CC CC
A. Organ level CC
B. Tissue level CC
C. Chemical level CC
D. Organ system CC
Answer: B. Tissue level
CC CC CC
Rationale: Tissues are composed of similar cells with a shared role.

, 5. The process by which the body maintains stable internal conditions is called:
CC CC CC CC CC CC CC CC CC CC CC
A. Homeostasis
B. Metabolism
C. Differentiation
D. Catabolism
Answer: A. Homeostasis
CC CC
Rationale: Homeostasis keeps internal conditions stable despite external changes.
CC CC CC CC CC CC CC CC
6. A negative feedback mechanism:
CC CC CC
A. Enhances the original stimulus
CC CC CC
B. Reverses a change toward normal conditions
CC CC CC CC CC
C. Causes rapid deviations
CC CC
D. Leads to homeostatic imbalance
CC CC CC
Answer: B. Reverses a change toward normal conditions
CC CC CC CC CC CC CC
Rationale: Negative feedback maintains stability by reversing deviations.

7. The anatomical position is characterized by:
CC CC CC CC CC
A. Standing with palms facing forward
CC CC CC CC
B. Sitting with hands on lap
CC CC CC CC
C. Lying down with palms downward
CC CC CC CC
D. Standing with arms crossed
CC CC CC
Answer: A. Standing with palms facing forward
CC CC CC CC CC CC
Rationale: Standard anatomical position ensures consistency in descriptions.

8. Which directional term means “toward the head”?
CC CC CC CC CC CC
A. Inferior
B. Superior
C. Posterior
D. Distal
Answer: B. Superior
