a. microscopic anatomy
b. muscle anatomy

d. systemic anatomy
7 a scientist wants to study how the body uses foods and fluids during a marathon run. this scientist is most likely a(n)
a exercise physiologist
b microscopic anatomist
c regional physiologist
d systemic anatomist
8 the smallest independently functioning biological unit of an organism is a(n)

Explanation:

• For question 6: Regional anatomy studies the structures in a specific region of the body like the ankle and foot. Microscopic anatomy focuses on structures seen under a microscope, muscle anatomy is about muscles only, and systemic anatomy looks at systems of the body.
• For question 7: An exercise physiologist studies how the body uses food and fluids during physical activities like a marathon run. Microscopic anatomist focuses on microscopic structures, regional physiologist is not a common term in this context, and systemic anatomist studies body - systems at a structural level not physiological processes during exercise.
• For question 8: The cell is the smallest independently functioning biological unit of an organism. A molecule is a group of atoms bonded together, an organ is a group of tissues working together, and an organ system is a group of organs working together.

Answer:

1. C. regional anatomy
2. A. exercise physiologist
3. a. cell
