Anatomy 125 Practice Test, Exams of Anatomy

A 50-question multiple choice practice test for Anatomy 125, covering topics such as bone tissue, epithelial tissue, connective tissue, and body planes. It includes questions about the structure and function of various cells, tissues, and organs, as well as their locations and relationships within the body.

What you will learn

  • What is the fluid within the inner membrane of the mitochondrion called?
  • What type of cells secrete acids that dissolve bone matrix?
  • What layer of the skin contains capillaries that supply the epidermis with oxygen and nutrients?
  • What type of epithelium is typically of the upper respiratory tract?
  • What type of cells serve as stem cells in bone tissue?
  • What are the accessory structures of the skin?
