An Introduction to Anatomy and Physiology Review Questions Questions
Question 1 of 5
Which is not one of the four principal tissue types?
Correct Answer: B
Rationale: The four principal tissue types are nervous, epithelial, muscle, and connective . Bone is a connective tissue subtype, not a principal category. Anatomically, connective tissue includes bone, cartilage, and blood, supporting diverse functions, while the four types classify broadly nervous conducts, epithelial covers, muscle moves excluding B as a standalone type.
Question 2 of 5
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 3 of 5
Which of the following serous membrane combinations lines the diaphragm?
Correct Answer: C
Rationale: The diaphragm's upper surface faces parietal pleura (thoracic), lower faces parietal peritoneum (abdominal). Visceral layers (A, B, D) cover organs, not cavity walls. Anatomically, parietal membranes line cavities above and below the diaphragm, reducing friction, making C correct.
Question 4 of 5
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 5 of 5
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.
