ANATOMY & PHYSIOLOGY EXAM 2026
QUESTIONS WITH SOLUTIONS GRADED A+
◉ Absorption. Answer: The transport of fully digested food into the
circulatory system to feed the tissues and cells,
◉ Adduction. Answer: Muscles that draw a body part, such as a
finger, arm or toe, inward toward the median axis of the body or of
an extremity. In the hand, they draw the fingers together.
◉ Adenosine Triphosphate/ATP. Answer: This is the term for
chemical energy used within cells for metabolism.
◉ Adipose Tissue. Answer: This is a specialized connective tissue
considered fat, which gives smoothness and contour to the body and
cushions and insulates the body.
◉ Adrenal Glands. Answer: These glands are located at the top of the
kidneys assisting in the regulation of metabolism, stress response
and blood pressure, and support of immune system health through
the generation of specific hormones.
,◉ Anatomy. Answer: The study of human body structure, how the
body parts are organized and the science of the structure of
organisms or of their parts.
◉ Aorta. Answer: This is the body's largest artery. It is the arterial
trunk that carries blood from the heart to be distributed by branch
arteries through the body.
◉ Arteries. Answer: Thick-walled, muscular, flexible tubes that carry
oxygenated blood away from the heart to the arterioles throughout
the body.
◉ Arterioles. Answer: These are smaller arteries that deliver blood
to the capillaries.
◉ Auricularis Muscles. Answer: The three muscles that work
together to move the ear upward(superior), forward(anterior) or
backwards(posterior).
◉ Auriculotemporal Nerve. Answer: This nerve affects the external
ear and skin above the temple, up to the top of the skull. It is a
tributary of the mandibular nerve division of the fifth cranial nerve.
, ◉ Autonomic Nervous System. Answer: The part of the nervous
system that controls the involuntary muscles. It regulates the action
of the smooth muscles, glands, blood vessels and heart.
◉ Belly. Answer: This is the middle part of the muscle.
◉ Biceps. Answer: This muscle produces the contour of the front
and inner side of the upper arm. It lifts the forearm, flexes the elbow
and turns the palm outward.
◉ Blood. Answer: This is the nutritive fluid circulating through the
cardiovascular system to supply oxygen and nutrients to cells and
tissues and to remove carbon dioxide and waste from them.
◉ Blood Vessels. Answer: These are tube-like structures that
transport blood to and from the heart, and to various tissues of the
body. Examples are arteries, arterioles, capillaries, venues and veins.
◉ Body Systems. Answer: Groups of body organs acting together to
perform one or more functions. The human body is composed of 11
of these.
◉ Brain. Answer: A part of the central nervous system contained in
the cranium. It is the largest and most complex mass of nerve tissue
in the body that controls sensation, muscles, and glandular activity.
