Anatomy
The form and structure of the body and its parts; what things look like and
where they are located
Physiology
The functions of the body and its parts; how things work and what they do
Cells
Smallest subdivisions of the animal body that are capable of life
,Tissues
Specialized groups of cells; the entire body is made up of only four basic
tissues: epithelial, connective, muscle, and nervous
Epithelial Tissue
Composed of cells that cover body surfaces; specialized epithelial tissue
forms glands like sweat, salivary, and mammary glands
Connective Tissue
Tissue that holds the body together and gives it support; composed of
cells and nonliving intercellular substances like adipose, cartilage, and
bone
, Muscle Tissue
Tissue responsible for moving the body, both inside and out; includes
skeletal, cardiac, and smooth muscle
Nervous Tissue
Tissue that transmits sensory information from body to brain and
instructions from brain to body for reacting to changing conditions
Organs
Groups of tissues that work together for common purposes; examples
include kidneys, heart, lungs, eyes, brain, and uterus
