1. anatomy the study of structure
2. physiology the study of how body structures func-
tion
3. chemical level level of structural organization that in-
volves atoms
4. cellular level level of structural organization that in-
volves cells
5. tissue level level of structural organization that is a
group of many similar cells that work to-
gether to perform a specific function
6. organ level level of structural organization that is
an anatomically distinct structure of the
body composed of two or more tissue
types
7. system level level of structural organization that is a
group of organs that work together to
perform major functions or meet phys-
iological needs of the body
8. organismal level level of structural organization that is liv-
ing being that has a cellular structure
and that can independently perform all
physiologic functions necessary for life
9. integumentary system system that protects the body, helps reg-
ulate body temperature, helps make vi-
tamin D, has touch receptors, associat-

ed with structures such as the skin, hair,
nails, and sweat glands
10. skeletal system system that supports and protects the
body and aids body movement, associ-
ated with bones, joints, and cartilages
11. muscular system system that participates in body move-
ments, such as walking, maintains pos-
ture, produces heat, associated with
skeletal muscle tissue, usually attached
to bones
12. nervous system generates action potentials to regulate
body activities, detects changes in body
internal and external environments, as-
sociated with brain, spinal cord
13. endocrine system system that regulates body actives by re-
leasing hormones, associated with hor-
mone producing glands such as the thy-
roids
14. cardiovascular system system that pumps blood throughout the
body, associated with blood, heart, and
vessels
15. lymphatic system system that returns proteins and fluid
to blood, carries lipids from GI tract to
blood, protects against disease, associ-
ated with lymphatic fluid, lymph nodes,
and tonsils

16. respiratory system system that transfers oxygen from in-
haled air to to blood, air flow through
lungs, associated with pharynx, lungs,
larynx
17. digestive system system that achieves physical and chem-
ical breakdown of food, associated with
mouth, esophagus, stomach, intestines
18. urinary system system that produces, stores, and elimi-
nates urine, wastes, associated with kid-
neys, uterus, urethra, bladder
19. metabolism the chemical processes that occur within
a living organism in order to maintain life
20. responsiveness how an organism responds to changes
in their immediate environment, react to
stimuli
21. movement the capability of producing movement,
may be internal (cells, muscular) or ex-
ternal
22. differentiation the process by which cells become more
progressively more specialized; a normal
process though which cells mature
23. homeostasis a condition of equilibrium, or balance, in
the body's internal environment, main-
tained by regulatory processes
24. extracellular fluid survival of our body cells is dependent
on the precise regulation of the chemical
