1.1 multiple choice questions
1) it is important to study the discipline of anatomy because it______.
A) is important to understand the link between human structure and function
B) develops a three-dimensional understanding of anatomical relationships
C) will assist individuals to make informed decisions about their personal health
D) provides a basis for understanding more advanced courses in anatomy, physiology,
and related disciplines
E) all of the answers are correct
Answer: e
Each individual statement (a–d) is a valid reason for studying anatomy. Understanding
anatomy helps in recognizing how structure relates to function (a), builds spatial
awareness of body structures (b), supports informed personal healthcare choices (c), and
lays the groundwork for more advanced biomedical studies (d). Therefore, option e,
stating that all are correct, is the most comprehensive and accurate. Options f and g are
incorrect and misleading—anatomy is not limited to musculoskeletal study (f), and it
complements rather than replaces physiology (g).
Learning outcome: 1.1
Bloom's taxonomy: remembering/understanding
2) which of the following statements about anatomical information is correct?
A) anatomic information is all historical
B) it describes external and internal structures of the body and considers probable
function
C) it addresses large body structures visible to the naked eye only
D) physiology and anatomy are unrelated
, 4 Human anatomy 9th edition
E) the study of cells or cytology is useless to anatomy
Answer: b
Anatomy is the study of body structure, including both external and internal components,
and it often considers their function. Option b correctly captures this holistic scope. A is
false because anatomy is not merely historical—it's continuously evolving with modern
imaging and research. C is incorrect because anatomy also includes microscopic
structures. D and e are false—physiology and cytology are closely linked to anatomical
understanding. F and g are overly narrow and inaccurate representations.
Learning outcome: 1.1
Bloom's taxonomy: remembering/understanding
3) the branch of science that studies groups of specialized cells and how they work
together is called______.
A) physiology
B) histology
C) anatomy
D) cytology
E) none of the answers are correct
Answer: b
Histology is the study of tissues, which are groups of specialized cells working together
for specific functions. This distinguishes it from cytology (d), which focuses on
individual cells. Physiology (a) examines how systems function, not their cellular
makeup. Anatomy (c) is broader and includes structural study at all levels. Pathology (f)
involves disease processes, and embryology (g) is concerned with development.
Therefore, b is the correct answer.
Learning outcome: 1.1

4) the analysis of the smallest units of life is called_____.
