static classification system instead of adynamic science.
⊚ true ⊚ false
3) Cytology is a subdivision of gross anatomy.
⊚ true ⊚ false
4) Physiologists use chemistry to understand the workings of the body’s organ systems.
⊚ true ⊚ false
5) Both anatomists and physiologists are awarethat form and function are interrelated.
⊚ true ⊚ false
6) Homeostasis refers to an organism’s ability to regulate its internal environment despite
changes in the external environment.
⊚ true ⊚ false
7) A molecule is made up of a combination of two or more atoms.
⊚ true ⊚ false
Version 1 2
8) In the anatomic position, the specimen rests horizontally on the examination tableand the
arms are extended away from the torso.
⊚ true ⊚ false
9) The mediastinum is within the ventral cavity.
⊚ true ⊚ false
10) The fact that the structures of cells vary widely reflects the specializations needed for
their different functions.
⊚ true ⊚ false
11) Organs contain two or more tissues that work together to perform specific, complex
functions.
⊚ true ⊚ false
12) The cell is the smallest living portion of the human body.
⊚ true ⊚ false
13) Fortunately for science, there is but one single property that defines life.
⊚ true ⊚ false

organismal levels.
⊚ true ⊚ false
Version 1 3
15) The urinary system filters the blood, concentrates waste products, and removes waste
products from the body.
⊚ true ⊚ false
16) The anatomic position allows all observers to have a common point of reference.
⊚ true ⊚ false
17) A coronal plane is a vertical plane that divides the body into anterior and posterior parts.
⊚ true ⊚ false
18) The chest is superior to the head.
⊚ true ⊚ false
19) The antecubital region is proximal to the carpal region.
⊚ true ⊚ false
20) The mediastinum is a serous cavity.
⊚ true ⊚ false

Version 1 4
22) The lumbar regions are located lateral to the umbilical region.
⊚ true ⊚ false
23) The central nervous system acts as the control center for the regulation of blood calcium
and blood glucose.
⊚ true ⊚ false
24) If your body temperature starts to decline, your body responds by exciting skeletal
muscles so that you shiver and your temperature returns to normal. This is an example of
negative feedback.
⊚ true ⊚ false
25) The term “positive feedback” means that the outcome of the system is a good one.
⊚ true ⊚ false
26) Damage to the heart can cause inadequate blood circulation, which can lead to more
damage to the heart. This is an example of a positive feedback cycle.
⊚ true ⊚ false
27) For better retention of material, it is better to break up study sessions into multiple
smaller chunks (e.g. 30 minutes each) rather than fewer, longer sessions (e.g. several hours
each).
