1. The scientific study of the functions of an organism that describes how the
organs work independently and in relation to the whole organism, a definition of
:
- Anatomy
- physiology
- histology
- pathophysiology
a standard method of viewing the body so that the anatomy can be consistently
described is :
- A position of the body in which a person sit down, facing directly forward,
feet pointed forward and slightly apart, arms hanging down at the sides with the
palms facing forward
- A position of the body in which a person stands erect, facing directly
forward, feet pointed laterally and slightly apart, arms hanging down at the
sides with the palms facing forward
- A position of the body in which a person stands erect, facing directly
forward, feet pointed forward and slightly apart, arms hanging down at the sides
with the palms facing backward
- A position of the body in which a person stands erect, facing directly
forward, feet pointed forward and slightly apart, arms hanging down at the sides
with the palms facing forward

- to maintain homeostasis
- to keep the body s sugar highʹ
- to regulate excretion
Which term means toward or at the back of the body, behind?
- anterior
- lateral
- distal
- dorsal
Which of the following statements is true concerning feedback mechanisms?

3. - Positive feedback mechanisms always result in excessive damage to the host.
- Negative feedback mechanisms tend to increase the original stimulus.
- Negative feedback mechanisms work to prevent sudden severe changes within the
body.
- Blood glucose levels are regulated by positive feedback mechanisms.
A good example of a positive feedback mechanism would be ________.
- body temperature regulation
- regulating glucose levels in the blood
- enhancement of labor contractions
- blood calcium level regulation
A good example of a positive feedback mechanism would be ________.
- body temperature regulation
- regulating glucose levels in the blood
- enhancement of labor contractions
- blood calcium level regulation
A good example of a positive feedback mechanism would be ________.
- body temperature regulation
- regulating glucose levels in the blood
- enhancement of labor contractions
- blood calcium level regulation
Choose the anatomical topic and definition that is not correctly matched.
- Gross anatomy: study of structures visible to the eye.
- Microscopic anatomy: study of structures too small to be seen by the naked
eye.
- Cytology: study of the structures in a particular region.
- Embryology: study of the changes in an individual from conception to birth.
Homeostasis is the condition in which the body maintains ________
- the lowest possible energy usage
- a relatively stable internal environment, within limits
- a static state with no deviation from preset points
- a dynamic state within an unlimited range
Place the following in correct sequence from simplest to most complex:
1. molecules
2. atoms
3. tissues
4. cells
5. organ
A) 1-2-3-4-5
B) 2-1-4-3-5
C) 2-1-3-4-5

Which of the following statements is the most correct regarding homeostatic
imbalance?
- It is considered the cause of most diseases.
- The internal environment is becoming more stable.
- Positive feedback mechanisms are overwhelmed.
- Negative feedback mechanisms are functioning normally.

4. The anatomical position is used ________.
- rarely, because people don t usually assume this positionʹ
- as a standard reference point for directional terms regardless of the actual
position of the body
- only when a body is lying down
- as the most comfortable way to stand when dissecting a specimen
