An Introduction to Anatomy and Physiology Review Questions Questions
Question 1 of 4
Long-distance regulation is accomplished via blood-borne chemicals known as:
Correct Answer: B
Rationale: Hormones regulate distantly via blood (e.g., insulin), unlike cells, ions, impulses (D, nerves), or neurotransmitters (E, synapses). Anatomically, endocrine glands (e.g., thyroid) use hormones for homeostasis, confirming B.
Question 2 of 4
The subdivision of anatomy in which organs and tissues are examined without use of special equipment is called:
Correct Answer: B
Rationale: Gross anatomy examines organs and tissues visibly, without microscopes, unlike microscopic anatomy , histology (C, tissue microscopy), or cytology (D, cell microscopy). Per options A5-A8, it's macroscopic e.g., dissecting a liver by hand. Anatomically, it's foundational for surgery, contrasting with microscopic fields, making B correct.
Question 3 of 4
In teaching student athletes about proper nutrition for energy needed in sports, the nurse explains that adenosine triphosphate (ATP) is produced by which organelle?
Correct Answer: B
Rationale: Mitochondria produce ATP via aerobic respiration (e.g., Krebs cycle) 's definition. Golgi processes carbohydrates, lysosomes degrade waste, rough ER synthesizes proteins not ATP. Anatomically, mitochondria are the powerhouse,' fueling muscle contraction in sports, confirming B.
Question 4 of 4
When discussing the differences in tissues with a client with a broken arm, the nurse explains that bone is which type of tissue?
Correct Answer: A
Rationale: Bone is connective tissue , per options A7-B0, with a matrix of collagen and minerals. Muscle contracts, squamous is epithelial, epithelial covers not bone. Anatomically, connective tissue supports (e.g., osteocytes in bone), crucial for fracture repair, making A correct.
