INTRODUCTION TO HUMAN BODY SYSTEMS (Questions 1–12)
1. Which level of organization is the smallest living unit in the human body?
a) Organ
b) Cell
c) Tissue
, d) Organ system
Rationale: Cells are the basic structural and functional units of life.
2. Which system is primarily responsible for transporting oxygen and
nutrients to tissues?
a) Respiratory system
b) Cardiovascular system
c) Digestive system
d) Urinary system
Rationale: Blood circulation delivers essential substances throughout the body.
3. Which body cavity contains the heart and lungs?
a) Abdominal cavity
b) Thoracic cavity
c) Pelvic cavity
d) Cranial cavity
Rationale: The thoracic cavity is divided into pleural cavities (lungs) and
mediastinum (heart).
4. Which plane divides the body into anterior and posterior sections?
a) Sagittal plane
b) Frontal (coronal) plane
c) Transverse plane
d) Median plane
Rationale: Frontal plane creates anterior (ventral) and posterior (dorsal) sections.
5. Which directional term means closer to the point of attachment?
a) Distal
b) Proximal
c) Medial
d) Lateral
Rationale: Proximal describes structures nearer to the trunk or origin.
6. Which homeostatic mechanism maintains body temperature?
a) Negative feedback (thermoregulation)
b) Positive feedback
c) Feedforward control
d) No control
Rationale: Sensors detect temperature changes and activate cooling/warming
responses.
7. Which organ system is responsible for removing metabolic waste
products?
a) Respiratory system
b) Urinary system
c) Digestive system
d) Endocrine system
Rationale: Kidneys filter blood and eliminate waste through urine.
8. Which serous membrane covers the lungs?
a) Pleura (visceral and parietal)
b) Pericardium
c) Peritoneum
