Sample questions

Three questions from the Anatomy and Physiology bank with the correct answer and an explanation. The practice quiz above draws 30 questions at random from the same bank.

  1. What is the basic structural and functional unit of the human body?

    • The cell — Correct answer
    • The organ

  3. Which of the following is a primary function of epithelial tissue?

    • Covering body surfaces and lining cavities, organs, and vessels — Correct answer
    • Contracting to produce movement of the skeleton
    • Transmitting electrical impulses throughout the body
    • Storing large amounts of energy as fat for insulation

    Explanation: Epithelial tissue covers external body surfaces and lines internal cavities, organs, and vessels; it also forms glands. Contraction is muscle tissue, impulse transmission is nervous tissue, and fat storage is adipose (connective) tissue. (FSMTB MBLEx Content Area 1 — Anatomy & Physiology)
