1. Which term best describes the study of body function?
A. Anatomy
B. Physiology
C. Histology
D. Pathology
Correct Answer: B. Physiology
Rationale: Physiology is the study of the functions and processes of the body’s structures. While
anatomy deals with structure, physiology explains how those structures work together to
maintain life. Understanding physiology is essential for comprehending how the body responds
to disease and maintains homeostasis.
