1. Human Anatomy the study of the structure or form of the human body
2. Human Physiolo- study of the body's functions
gy
3. Biology The study of life
4. Cell The smallest unit that can carry out the functions of life
5. Metabolism The sum of the body's chemical reactions
6. anabolism "building" processes in which smaller chemicals are combined to form larger ones,
such as building muscle
7. catabolism "breaking down" processes in which larger chemicals are broken down into small-
er ones, as in digestion
8. Homeostasis The maintenance of the body's stable internal environment
9. Excretion The process by which waste products are removed from the body
10. Growth When more anabolism takes place than catabolism, an increase in the size of
individual cells and/or an increase in the number of cells
11. Responsiveness The property of living organisms by which they sense and react to changes in their
or irritability environment
12. Motility The movement of a cell or tissue
13. Reproduction The production of new cells within an organism or the production of offspring
14. produces new Growth wound repair

organization cell function related to cell structure
cells respond to local environment
cells of body coordinated and controlled to work together

sue types
19. organ level of or- Two or more tissue types can combine to form a structure which has a recognizable
ganization shape and performs a specialized task
