Question 5

A physiologist is a biologist who studies&#10;A) function.&#10;B) structure.&#10;C) evolution.&#10;D) genetics.

Accepted Answer

Physiology is the branch of biology that studies the functions of the structures of the human body.

Question 6

What is the purpose of the endocrine system?&#10;A) Breaks down waste products.&#10;B) Secretes hormones that travel to target cells.&#10;C) Transports hormones to the body.&#10;D) Fights diseases and disorders.

Accepted Answer

The endocrine system is responsible for digestive, metabolic, and hormonal function.Unlike the nervous system, the endocrine system does not necessarily communicate rapidly with other organ systems.The endocrine system contains glands that secrete hormones, which travel to target cells.

Question 7

How many thoracic vertebrae are there?&#10;A) 1&#10;B) 5&#10;C) 7&#10;D) 12

Accepted Answer

To remember the number of vertebra in the first three regions of the vertebral column, know that breakfast is at seven in the morning, lunch is at noon, and dinner is at five in the afternoon.This translates into 7 cervical vertebrae, 12 thoracic vertebrae, and 5 lumbar vertebrae.The vertebrae of the sacrum and coccyx are fused, and the number of vertebrae can be variable.

Question 8

What is the primary function of most epithelial tissue?&#10;A) Sensation&#10;B) Covering surfaces&#10;C) Absorption&#10;D) Connecting surfaces

Accepted Answer

The epidermis is the thin outer layer that is composed of epithelial cells.Epithelial tissue or thin skin also lines the internal organs.The dermis is the deeper, thicker layer of skin that consists of dense connective tissue.The skin functions as the body's first line of defense against potential invading microbes, acting as an external barrier associated with the immune system (immunological function within the Occupational Therapy Practice Framework (OTPF).It also functions in homeostasis, that is, thermoregulation (relatively stable internal body temperature) and osmoregulation (balance among water and electrolytes).The skin also has a role in sensory functions and pain.

Question 9

What is homeostasis?&#10;A) Balancing water and electrolytes.&#10;B) Maintaining a steady heart rate and blood pressure.&#10;C) Maintaining a stable internal body temperature.&#10;D) Creating an external barrier to microbes.

Accepted Answer

Homeostasis is thermoregulation (relatively stable internal body temperature) and osmoregulation (balance among water and electrolytes).

Question 10

Which tissue covers and protects the body surface, lines body cavities, and consists of densely arranged cells on the outer layer of the body?&#10;A) Nervous&#10;B) Muscle&#10;C) Connective&#10;D) Epithelial

Accepted Answer

The epidermis is the thin outer layer that is composed of epithelial cells.Epithelial tissue or thin skin also lines the internal organs.
