Chapter 1: Introduction to the Human Body
1. What is anatomy?
,A. Study of body function
B. Study of body structure
C. Study of disease processes
D. Study of medication effects
Correct Answer: B
Rationale:
Anatomy focuses on the structure of the body, including organs, tissues, and cells.
2. What is physiology?
A. Study of body structure
B. Study of body function
C. Study of medications
D. Study of body positions
Correct Answer: B
Rationale:
Physiology explains how body systems function and interact.
3. Which level of organization comes after cells?
A. Organism
B. Tissue
C. Organ system
D. Organ
Correct Answer: B
Rationale:
Cells combine to form tissues, which then form organs.
4. Which body system transports oxygen and nutrients to cells?
A. Respiratory system
B. Circulatory system
C. Digestive system
D. Nervous system
Correct Answer: B
Rationale:
Circulatory system (heart, blood, vessels) delivers oxygen, nutrients, and removes wastes.
5. Which organ is part of the respiratory system?
, A. Heart
B. Lungs
C. Kidneys
D. Stomach
Correct Answer: B
Rationale:
Lungs exchange oxygen and carbon dioxide, a primary function of the respiratory system.
6. Homeostasis is defined as:
A. The study of organs
B. Maintaining a stable internal environment
C. Immune defense
D. Rapid cell division
Correct Answer: B
Rationale:
Homeostasis is the body’s ability to maintain balance despite external changes.
7. Which feedback mechanism decreases a stimulus to maintain homeostasis?
A. Positive feedback
B. Negative feedback
C. Feedforward mechanism
D. Neutral feedback
Correct Answer: B
Rationale:
Negative feedback reduces deviation from a set point, e.g., temperature regulation.
8. Which directional term means “toward the head”?
A. Superior
B. Inferior
C. Anterior
D. Posterior
Correct Answer: A
Rationale:
Superior refers to toward the head or upper body.
9. Which plane divides the body into left and right halves?
