,PREFACE
This book supersedes Anatomy: 1600 Multiple Choice
Questions, published by Butterworths in 1973. In addition to
being longer, it differs from that book in the following
respects: many of the Gross Anatomy questions have been
revised or substituted; the Histology section has been
substantially enlarged, and segregated from the Gross
Anatomy; Embryology has also been segregated;
Neuroanatomy has been updated; and an entirely new and
larger set of illustrations is provided.

, INSTRUCTIONS FOR
STUDENTS
The various sections of the book should be used upon
completion of the corresponding parts of your Anatomy
course.
In assessing your own performance on a particular section you
7 two categories
should bear in mind that the questions fall into
for scoring purposes. In the 'group true-false type of question
you are required to judge whether each one of the five
statements provided is true or false. In grading these answers it
is common practice to award a mark for each correct decision,
and to deduct a mark for each wrong decision. The average
score obtained by chance alone will therefore be zero.
The remaining questions belong to the second category, in
which you are required to make a selection from a number of
answers provided. A score of 20-25 per cent is to be expected
on the basis of chance.
Note on Section VIII: Histology
In this Section, the questions in each of the six standard
formats are arranged in the same sequence, as follows: the
C e l l ; the Tissues (commencing with the Epithelia and ending
with Nervous Tissue); and the Systems (commencing with the
Cardiovascular and ending with the Reproductive). Having
studied a particular topic, the student should attempt the
relevant questions within each format.
