through maturity - 4. Pathological anatomy/study of anatomical
features during illness

histology?
- 1. Cytology studies structures of
tissues/histology studies functions of tissues - 2. Cytology analyzes internal structures of
individual cells/histology studies groups of
specialized cells that work together - 3. Cytology uses light microscopy/histology uses

8Which specialty of physiology would be the
profession of someone studying effects of heart
disease ?

- 2. Systemic physiology
- 3. Organ physiology
- 4. Cellular physiology
9Which of these indicates the levels of
organization from simplest to most complex?
- 1. Electrical chemical neurotransmitter
response - 2. Chemical cellular tissue organ organ
system organismal - 3. Skeletal muscular cardiovascular
endocrine nervous - 4. Tissue chemical cellular organismal organ
system organ
10Why is it important to study each level of
structural organization?
- 1. The organization at each level determines
structural characteristics of higher levels - 2. The organization at each level determines
functions of higher levels - 3. 1 and 2 are correct
- 4. It is not relevant to study all levels of
organization
11At which level of organization does a histologist
investigate structures?
- 1. molecular
- 2. organ
- 3. tissue
- 4. cellular
12Which of these examples describe extrinsic
regulation?
- 1. Results from activities of the nervous or
endocrine system - 2. Adjusts its activities automatically in
response to environmental change - 3. Oxygen levels decline in a tissue and cells
release chemicals to dilate local blood vessels - 4. 2 and 3
13Why is homeostatic regulation important to an
organism?
- 1. Regulation allows individual organ systems to
gain total control of the body. - 2. Individual cells tolerate large ranges of
conditions when regulated properly. - 3. Physiological systems can function normally
only under carefully controlled conditions. - 4. Regulation provides a good framework for
studying human physiology.
14A receptor, a control center and an effector are
the three parts of a homeostatic regulatory
mechanism. Which of these describes the
respective functions of each component?
- 1. Receives and processes information a cell or
organ that responds to commands a sensor
receptive to stimulus - 2. A sensor receptive to stimulus receives and
processes information a cell or organ that
responds to commands - 3. Activity that opposes or enhances a stimulus
receives information keeps characteristics of
internal environment within certain limits - 4. all of the above
15What is/are goals and functions of a negative
feedback system?
- 1. Providing long-term control over the bodys
internal conditions - 2. Keeping conditions within a normal range
- 3. Adjusting the set point for body
temperature based upon level of activity - 4. all of the above
16What happens to the body when homeostasis breaks
down?
- 1. disease
- 2. organ systems malfunction
- 3. death
- 4. all of the above
17What is/are goals and functions of a positive
feedback system?
- 1. An initial stimulus produces a response that
exaggerates the original change in conditions - 2. Keeping conditions within a normal range
- 3. A stressful process must be completed before
homeostasis can be restored - 4. 1 and 3 are correct
18Why is positive feedback helpful in blood
clotting, but unsuitable for the regulation of
body temperature?
- Positive feedback accelerates the clotting
process, but would cause temperature to rise out
of control - Positive feedback would cause temperature to
decrease negative feedback would cause dynamic
equilibrium to occur in blood clotting - Positive feedback is not reliable
- Positive feedback works only in life threatening
situations
19When the body is in correct anatomical position,
what does that look like?
- 1. The terms left and right refer to the left and
right sides of the observer - 2. Hands are at the sides, dorsum of the hand
facing forward, legs apart, head slightly to one
side - 3. Hands are at the sides, palms facing forward,
feet together, eyes straight ahead - 4. Person must be lying down
20Bruce has gallbladder problems. Where does Bruce
have pain?
- 1. Epigastric region
- 2. Umbilical region
- 3. Right lumbar region
- 4. Right upper quadrant
21The head is ____ to the umbilicus and the
skeletal muscles are ___ to the bones.
- 1. Posterior/lateral
- 2. Superior/superficial
- 3. Inferior/deep
- 4. Cranial/distal
22The knee is ____ to the ankle and ___ to the
thigh.
- 1. Proximal/distal
- 2. Medial/inferior

and spinal cord - 2. Pleural/pericardial/thoracic cavity/protect
internal structures - 3. Visceral/parietal/abdominopelvic cavity/allow
organs to slide across each other - 4. Parietal/visceral/thoracic cavity/allow
expansion of organs
26If a surgeon makes an incision just inferior to
the diaphragm, which body cavity will be opened?
- 1. the abdominopelvic cavity
