MULTIPLE CHOICE.
SECTION 1: INTRODUCTION TO AsP s HOMEOSTASIS (Questions 1-10)
Q1. Which of the following represents the correct order of structural organization in the
human body from simplest to most complex?
A) Tissue, Cell, Organ, System, Organism
B) Cell, Tissue, Organ, System, Organism
C) Organ, Tissue, Cell, System, Organism
D) Cell, Organ, Tissue, System, Organism
Answer: B) Cell, Tissue, Organ, System, Organism
Rationale: The hierarchical organization begins with the chemical level, then cellular,
tissue, organ, organ system, and finally the organismal level. Cells are the basic living units;
tissues are groups of similar cells; organs are structures composed of multiple tissues.
Q2. The maintenance of a relatively stable internal environment despite external
fluctuations is called:
A) Metabolism
B) Positive feedback
C) Homeostasis
D) Adaptation
, Page 2 of 30
Answer: C) Homeostasis
Rationale: Homeostasis is the dynamic state of equilibrium within the body's internal
environment. It is maintained primarily by negative feedback loops (e.g., temperature
regulation, blood glucose control).
Q3. Which feedback mechanism is responsible for the rapid increase in uterine
contractions during childbirth?
A) Negative feedback
B) Positive feedback
C) Feed-forward control
D) Homeostatic imbalance
Answer: B) Positive feedback
Rationale: Positive feedback amplifies the initial stimulus. In childbirth, oxytocin release

increases contractions, which in turn causes more oxytocin release, creating a self-
amplifying cycle until the baby is delivered (the endpoint).
Q4. The thoracic cavity is separated from the abdominopelvic cavity by the:
A) Mediastinum
B) Diaphragm
C) Pleura
D) Pericardium
Answer: B) Diaphragm
Rationale: The diaphragm is a dome-shaped skeletal muscle that partitions the ventral
body cavity. The heart and lungs reside superiorly in the thoracic cavity; the stomach, liver,
and intestines reside inferiorly in the abdominopelvic cavity.
Q5. A cut that divides the body into equal left and right halves is called a:
A) Frontal section
B) Transverse section
C) Parasagittal section
D) Midsagittal section
Answer: D) Midsagittal section
Rationale: A midsagittal (median) section runs exactly along the midline. A parasagittal
section is off-center. Frontal (coronal) divides into anterior/posterior; transverse
(horizontal) divides into superior/inferior.
Q6. Which organ system is primarily responsible for protecting against environmental
hazards and synthesizing Vitamin D?
A) Skeletal system
B) Lymphatic system
C) Integumentary system
D) Endocrine system
Answer: C) Integumentary system
Rationale: The skin (integument) provides a physical barrier against pathogens, UV
radiation, and chemicals. When exposed to sunlight, the skin synthesizes Vitamin D, which
is essential for calcium absorption.
Q7. The directional term meaning "toward the back of the body" is:
A) Anterior
B) Ventral
C) Posterior
D) Medial
