Introduction to Anatomy and Physiology Quiz

Which of the following best defines anatomy?

• The study of the structure of body parts and their relationships to one another.

• The study of how body systems maintain life.

• The study of how cells carry out processes like respiration.

• The study of the function of organ systems.

Which of the following is an example of gross anatomy?

• Structures visible to the naked eye, such as muscles and bones.

• Structures seen under a microscope, such as cells and tissues.

• How cells carry out processes like respiration.

• How organ systems function.

What is the key difference between anatomy and physiology?

• Anatomy is about structure, physiology is about function.

• Anatomy is about function, physiology is about structure.

• Anatomy studies cells, physiology studies tissues.

• Anatomy focuses on organ systems, physiology focuses on organs.
