| Cortisol is an anti-inflammatory and antiallergenic. | TRUE |
| Pain, while uncomfortable, does not play a significant role in maintaining homeostasis, it simply is a reaction to overstimmulation of nerve endings. | FALSE (Pain's primary function is protection because it warns of tissue damage or destruction somewhere in the body) |
| There are three responses to pain; psychological, physical, and pathological. | FALSE (There are only two responses to pain: psychological and physical) |
| The pain-spasm-pain cycle, associated with muscle spasms, is a natural reflex reaction that acts to support and protect damaged tissue. | TRUE |
| Generally the more severe the pain, the more severe the tissue damage. | TRUE |
| Massage therapy has little or no effect over breaking the pain-spasm-pain cycle, and the client should be referred immediately to their physician. | FALSE (Skillfully applied massage therapy is very effetive in breaking the pain-spasm-pain cycle, relieving the pain, and restoring mobility. Sensitive touch can diver some attention away from the acute intensity of the pain. |
| Pain cusses muscle contraction and ischemia, thereby causing spasms that causes more pain. | TRUE |
| The degree of tissue repair after injury varies depending on the location, the type of tissue, and the nature of the damage or injury. | TRUE |
| Groups of tissues form complex structures that perform certain functions. Theses structures are called cells. | FALSE (The structures are called organs) |
| The human body is composed of approximately 100 thousand cells, which develop from a single cell, the fertilized ovum. | FALSE (100 Trillion cells) |
| Serous membranes produce serous fluid, a watery substance that also acts as a lubricant. | TRUE |
| Deep fascia covers each muscle fiber, the muscle fascicles, the whole muscle, and groups of muscles. | TRUE |
| Massage is indicated for the subacute stage of fractures once they have been set and immobilized. | TRUE |

| Muscles comprise 50 to 75 % of the total body weight. | FALSE (40 to 60 %) |
| Irritability is the ability of the muscle to stretch. | FALSE (Extensibility) |
| Skeletal muscle tissue is supplied with a vast network of blood and lymph vessels and capillaries and nerve fibers. | TRUE |
| Superficial fascia covers the entire muscular system. | TRUE |
| Muscle cells are unique in that they have only one nucleus. | FALSE (They are mulitnucleated, having many nuclei) |
| There are few specialized muscle cells called spindle cells that have both sensory and motor functions. | TRUE |
| Larger muscles have the same number of muscle fibers as smaller muscles, and they have more intricate muscle motor units. | FALSE (Larger muscles may have several hundred muscle fibers, whereas a smaller muscle group may have only two or three muscle fibers) |
| There is only enough ATP stored in the muscle cells to sustain a contraction for a few seconds. | TRUE |
| Skeletal muscles have at least one end of the muscle that is attached to bone. | TRUE |
| The medial aspect of an organ means it is farthest point form the origin of the structure. | FALSE (medial is nearest the center) |
| A midsagittal plane divides the human body into equal left and right halves. | TRUE |
| In the human body, the elbow is proximal to the wrist. | TRUE |
| The dorsal cavity of the human body contains the stomach, spleen and pancreas. | FALSE (the dorsal cavity contains... the brain and spinal cord) |

| Bone is the hardest structure in the body. | FALSE (Dentine, the dense, hard tissue that forms the body of a tooth, is the hardest structure in the body) |
| Typically long bones have enlarged areas on the ends called the diaphysis. | FALSE (epiphysis) |
| The bones of the skull, thorax, vertebral column, and the hyoid bone comprise the axial skeleton. | TRUE |
