  1. _____ Physiology is best defined as the study of A. body structure. B. body function. C. homeostasis. D. impairments to health. E. body tissues using a microscope.
  2. _____ The study of the structure and function of cells is known as A. molecular biology. B. pathology. C. gross anatomy. D. cytology. E. kinesiology.
  3. _____ Which of the following correctly depicts the level of organization of the human body? A. atom  molecule  organelle  cell  organ  tissue  organ system  organism B. atom  organelle  molecule  cell  organ  tissue  organ system  organism C. atom  molecule  organelle  cell  tissue  organ  organ system  organism D. molecule  atom  organelle  cell  tissue  organ  organ system  organism E. organelle  atom  molecule  cell  tissue  organ  organ system  organism
  4. _____ All of the following are examples of macromolecules found in the human body except A. protein. B. lipid. C. nucleic acids. D. carbohydrates. E. potassium chloride.
  1. _____ The most common mechanism for mediating homeostasis is A. negative feedback. B. positive feedback. C. feed forward control. D. the administration of drugs. E. mental telepathy.
  2. ____ Which of the following is not an example of negative feedback? A. The blood pressure decreases momentarily. The drop in blood pressure is detected by a baroreceptor. The baroreceptor conveys this information to the medulla of the brain which ultimately causes the blood pressure to increase to its normal level. B. The kidney releases a hormone that causes the blood volume of a person to increase. This increase in blood volume causes an increase in water absorption in the small intestines, thus causing blood volume to increase yet again. C. A decrease in body temperature induces shivering of the body which effectively elevates body temperature to its normal value. D. The pH of the body decreases and the body responds by increasing the rate of breathing. This causes the pH to increase and return to its normal level. E. The ovary secretes estrogen upon stimulation by a hormone called FSH. The increase in estrogen release causes a decrease in FSH secretion.
  3. _____ All of the following statements about the standard anatomical position are true except: A. the palmar surface is visible from an anterior view. B. the face is directed forward.

  1. _____ A substance capable of dissolving freely in water is A. hydrophilic. B. hydrophobic. C. hydrolyzed. D. hydrated. E. amphiphilic.
  2. _____ The amount of heat required to raise 1 gram of water 1 degree C is called a A. microfarad. B. volt. C. amp. D. calorie. E. poise.
  3. _____ Which of the following statements about concentration is false? A. The osmolarity of a 1 molar glucose solution is equal to 1 osmolar. B.

The osmolarity of a salt solution is greater than its concentration expressed as molarity. E. A 5% glucose solution is made by adding 10 grams of glucose to 100 ml of water.
  4. _____ When you exercise vigorously, lactic acid production increases within your skeletal muscles. What effect will this have on the pH of the body? A. It will cause the pH to increase. B. It will cause the pH to decrease. C. It will cause the pH to increase to 15.
