whole. This leads to a breakdown in the function and structural integrity of

the tissue or organ involved.


Cell Theory States.. - 🧠ANSWER ✔✔-Cells are the building blocks of plants

and animals

-All cells are produced by the division of pre-existing cells

-Cells are the smallest units that perform all vital physiological functions

-Each cell maintains homeostasis at the cellular level

-Homeostasis at higher levels, reflects combined, coordinated action of

many cells

-The human body contains many different types of cells


Cytology - 🧠ANSWER ✔✔The study of structure and function of cells

,Homeostasis - 🧠ANSWER ✔✔The property of a system (Cell, Tissue,
