Introduction to Anatomy and Physiology Lesson 2.1 Study Questions Questions
Question 1 of 5
A person in a prone position would be:
Correct Answer: A
Rationale: Prone position means lying face down, unlike anatomical position (B, standing, palms forward), erect (C, upright), or fetal (D, curled). Anatomically, prone contrasts with supine (face up), used in procedures like back surgery, aligning body orientation with functional context, confirming A.
Question 2 of 5
Which term best defines the position of the knee relative to the hip?
Correct Answer: C
Rationale: The knee is distal to the hip, farther from the trunk's attachment, not lateral, medial, posterior, or proximal (E, closer). Anatomically, distal orients limbs knee below hip joint key for movement analysis, confirming C.
Question 3 of 5
Which pairing of dissectional terms is most appropriate?
Correct Answer: D
Rationale: Superficial and deep pair as depth terms skin superficial, muscle deep unlike medial-proximal, superior-posterior, or proximal-lateral, which mix axes. Anatomically, these describe layering (e.g., dissection cuts), making D most cohesive.
Question 4 of 5
The study of the functions of cells, tissues, organs, and organ systems of the human body would best be described as:
Correct Answer: B
Rationale: Physiology studies how cells, tissues, organs, and systems function e.g., how muscles contract unlike homeostasis (A, a process), anatomy (C, structure), or pathology (D, disease). Anatomically, it complements structure (anatomy) by explaining processes like digestion or respiration. For instance, physiology details ATP production in mitochondria, not just their shape, making B the best description per standard biological definitions.
Question 5 of 5
Proteins are extremely important to the human body. Which of the following is not a function of protein?
Correct Answer: D
Rationale: Proteins protect (A, antibodies), catalyze (B, enzymes), repair (C, collagen), but don't primarily insulate organs fat does, per anatomical roles. Options CB-C5 list protein functions, but insulation (adipose tissue) is distinct. Proteins build structure (e.g., keratin) and regulate (enzymes), not thermal insulation, making D incorrect.
