A test bank or set of quiz questions and answers related to the textbook 'memmler's structure and function of the human body' 10th edition. The questions cover a wide range of topics in human anatomy and physiology, including the major body systems, anatomical terminology, and fundamental concepts like metabolism and homeostasis. The level of detail and breadth of topics suggests this document could be useful as study notes, lecture materials, or exam preparation for university-level courses in human biology, anatomy, or physiology. A good overview of key learning objectives and assessment items that students in these fields would need to master.

The study of body structure is called - ANSWER- anatomy Which of the following would be the most suitable field of study for an anatomist? - ANSWER- The structure of the stomach Dr. A is interested in the structure of the inner ear. The field of study best suited to her interests is - ANSWER- anatomy There are numerous levels of organization in the body. The correct order from simplest to most complex is - ANSWER- cell, tissue, organ, system, organism The system that transports blood to and from the cells is the - ANSWER- circulatory system The system comprised of the bones and the joints is the - ANSWER- skeletal system A term for all the reactions that sustain life is - ANSWER- metabolism A reaction in which simple compounds are assembled into more complex compounds is most accurately described as a(n) - ANSWER- anabolic reaction The breakdown of complex glycogen molecules into simple glucose molecules is most accurately described as a(n) - ANSWER- catabolic reaction Which of the following examples demonstrates the principle of positive feedback? - ANSWER- A rise in estrogen levels stimulates the production of a hormone that stimulates estrogen production. Which of the following examples does NOT demonstrate the principle of homeostasis? - ANSWER- A) A rise in plasma sodium stimulates the release of a hormone that increases sodium loss in the urine. B) An increase in plasma volume increases urination. ANSWER C) The activation of a clotting factor stimulates the production of the enzyme that activates the clotting factor. D) An increase in body temperature induces sweating, which reduces body temperature.
Define metabolism and explain the difference between the two types of reactions involved in metabolism. - ANSWER- Metabolism refers to all of the life-sustaining reactions that go on within the body systems. Metabolism includes catabolic reactions, in which complex substances are broken down into simpler ones, and anabolic reactions, in which simple substances are assembled into complex ones. Which type of feedback (positive or negative) is used to maintain homeostasis? Use an example to illustrate your answer. - ANSWER- Negative feedback is used to maintain homeostasis. An example is the maintenance of blood sugar levels. If blood sugar rises, a hormone is released (insulin) that causes insulin to be stored in tissues. Blood sugar is reduced, and the hormone is no longer released. Describe the subdivisions and the sub-subdivisions of the ventral cavity and name an organ found in each. - ANSWER- The ventral cavity is divided into the thoracic cavity and the abdominopelvic cavity. The thoracic cavity contains the heart, lungs, trachea, esophagus, and large blood vessels surrounding the heart. The abdominopelvic cavity is further subdivided into the abdominal cavity, containing the stomach, most of the intestine, liver, gallbladder, pancreas, and spleen, and the pelvic cavity, containing the urinary bladder, rectum, and internal reproductive organs.
