Learning Objective 1: LO1.3 Define the important life processes of the human body. Section
Reference 1: Sec 1.3 Characteristics of the Living Human Organism
Question type: Essay
4) How are reproduction, differentiation and growth related?
Answer:
Difficulty: Hard Bloomcode: Synthesis
Learning Objective 1: LO1.3 Define the important life processes of the human body. Section
Reference 1: Sec 1.3 Characteristics of the Living Human Organism
Solution: Reproduction occurs through the fertilization of an ovum by a sperm cell to form a zygote,
followed by repeated cell divisions and the differentiation of these cells. Growth is an increase in
body size that results from an increase in the size of existing cells, an increase in the number of
cells, or both.
Question type: Multiple Choice
5) The two organ systems that predominantly regulate and maintain homeostasis are the
a) cardiovascular and integumentary systems.
b) nervous and endocrine systems.
c) cardiovascular and respiratory systems.
d) respiratory and muscular systems.
e) urinary and integumentary systems.
Answer: b Difficulty: Easy

Learning Objective 1: LO1.4 Explain the importance of homeostasis and describe the relationship of
homeostatic imbalances to disorders.
Section Reference 1: Sec 1.4 Homeostasis
6) Which body fluid fills the narrow spaces between cells and tissues?
a) Lymph
b) Blood plasma
c) Interstitial fluid
d) Intracellular fluid
e) Vitreous body
Answer: c Difficulty: Medium

7) Describe the differences between positive and negative feedback systems.
Answer:
Difficulty: Medium Bloomcode: Analysis
Learning Objective 1: LO1.4 Explain the importance of homeostasis and describe the relationship of
homeostatic imbalances to disorders.
Section Reference 1: Sec 1.4 Homeostasis
Solution: A positive feedback system will strengthen or reinforce a change in one of the body's
controlled conditions while a negative feedback system will reverse a change in a controlled
condition.
Question type: Multiple Choice
8) Hormonal or electrical signals are sent from the control center to the
