Student name:_
TRUE/FALSE - Write 'T' if the statement is true and 'F' if the statement is false.1) True or False? A CT scan allows for a three-dimensional image to be generated.⊚ true ⊚ false
2) True or False? Positive-feedback mechanisms are always damaging to the body.⊚ true ⊚ false
3) True or False? The part of the feedback mechanism that processes information, relates it to other information, and makes a decision of action is the receptor.⊚ true ⊚ false
4) True or False? The control center compares input from a receptor with the ideal normal value for a condition called a set point.⊚ true ⊚ false
5) True or False? Positive feedback mechanisms are less common in healthy individuals than negative feedback mechanisms.⊚ true ⊚ false
6) True or False? Whereas a 'plane' describes an imaginary flat surface, a 'section' describes a way to cut an organ.⊚ true ⊚ false
7) True or False? The thoracic cavity is divided into right and left parts by a median partition called the sternum.⊚ true ⊚ false
8) True or False? Both the spleen and the urinary bladder are contained within the pelvic cavity subdivision of the abdominopelvic cavity.⊚ true ⊚ false 1 / 4
9) True or False? The kidneys are contained within the pelvic cavity subdivision of the abdominopelvic cavity.⊚ true ⊚ false
10) True or False? Scientists believe that any significant change in the composition of the microbiome of the human integumentary system may increase a person’s susceptibility to autoimmune diseases.⊚ true ⊚ false
11) True or False? It has been suggested by some scientists that early exposure to antibiotics that significantly change the makeup of the microbes in the human intestines may increase a person’s susceptibility to autoimmune diseases like Crohn's disease and asthma.⊚ true ⊚ false
12) True or False? Many undergraduate anatomy programs study cats and rats in laboratory settings. Use of these animals is ideal because they are inexpensive, and although they are physically smaller, the internal structures are identical to humans.⊚ true ⊚ false
13) True or False? With regard to biomedical research, because rats, pigs, apes, and other mammals share over 90% of the same genes as humans, these animals are always good predictors for how humans will respond to a specific drug therapy.⊚ true ⊚ false
14) True or False? With regard to biomedical research, it has been found that drugs that are toxic to one mammal species will be toxic to another mammal species.⊚ true ⊚ false
15) True or False? Rats and humans share over 90% of the same genes.⊚ true ⊚ false 2 / 4
16) True or False? A molecule of water is more complex than a mitochondrion (organelle).⊚ true ⊚ false
17) True or False? Homeostasis and occupying space are both unique characteristics of living things.⊚ true ⊚ false
18) True or False? The term mass describes the material that makes up all living and nonliving things.⊚ true ⊚ false
19) True or False? Synthesis reactions are also called catabolic reactions.⊚ true ⊚ false
20) True or False? The importance of O2 in the human body is to extract energy (ATP) from food molecules.⊚ true ⊚ false
21) True or False? The basal lamina is only one portion of the basement membrane, and it does not anchor the epithelium to the tissue below it.⊚ true ⊚ false
22) True or False? Because epithelial tissue is highly vascular, it heals well.⊚ true ⊚ false
23) True or False? Dense irregular collagenous connective tissue that forms during tissue repair is called granulation tissue.⊚ true ⊚ false 3 / 4
24) True or False? Plasma cells produce the ground substance that forms the matrix of connective tissues.⊚ true ⊚ false
25) True or False? The duct of an endocrine gland leads into the bloodstream rather than onto an epithelial surface.⊚ true ⊚ false
26) True or False? The subcutaneous tissue is part of the skin and the integumentary system.⊚ true ⊚ false
27) True or False? The acne-associated bacterium Propionibacterium acnes are found in sebum- rich areas of the skin, such as the arms, palms, and axillary regions.⊚ true ⊚ false
28) Scientists, studying skin microbes, have identified three unique strains of the bacterium P.acnes., all of which are found on the skin. These bacteria break down lipids, resulting in a low skin pH. This low pH is alkaline in nature and makes the environment unfavorable to invading bacteria.⊚ true ⊚ false
29) True or False? Papercuts do not bleed because the cuts do not damaged the durable blood vessels of the stratum spinosum.⊚ true ⊚ false
30) True or False? Sun exposure increases the production of keratin by skin cells, resulting in an orange hue to the skin.⊚ true ⊚ false
31) True or False? A mutation that alters collagen production could render the dermis less effective at maintaining the strength of the skin.⊚ true ⊚ false
