What is human anatomy? - -Scientific
study of the bodies structures
What is the tissue level? - -A community of
similar cells form a body tissue
What is gross anatomy? - -Study of
structures that can be seen with the naked eye
What is the organ level? - -Two or more
different tissues combine to form an organ
What is microscopic anatomy? - -the study
of structures that are too small to be seen with
the naked eye What is the organ system level? - -Organ
systems consist of different organs that work
together closely to perform the functions of a
What does microscopic anatomy include? - body system
-Cytology = the study of cells and histology
= the study of tissues
What is the organism level? - -Many organ
systems work harmoniously together to perform
What is regional anatomy? - -Study of the functions of an independent organism
interrelationships of all the structures in a specific
body region EX. abdomen
What is the bodies largest organ system? -
-The integumentary system
What is systemic anatomy? - -The study of
the structures that make up a discrete body
system What is metabolism? - -The sun of all
anabolic and catabolic reactions that take place
in the body, both anabolism and catabolism occur
What is homeostasis? - -The state of simultaneously and continuously to keep you
steady internal conditions maintained by living ALIVE
things
What is anabolism? - -Where smaller
What are the six levels of structural organization? simpler molecules combined into larger more
- -chemical, cellular, tissue, organ, organ complex substances (BUILDS)
system, organismal
What is catabolism? - -the breakdown of
What is the chemical level? - -atoms complex molecules in living organisms to form
combine to form molecules simpler ones, together with the release of energy;
(BREAKS)
What is the cellular level? - -A variety of
molecules combine to form the fluid and What is physiology? - -the study of function
organelles of a body cell of the body - how the body parts work and carry

out their life sustaining activities cellular processes ex when you sweat your body
is cooling down
What are the requirements for human life? -
-Oxygen, nutrients, temperature & What is a response to cold? - -Shivering,
atmospheric pressure attempting to generate heat
What is responsiveness? - -The ability to Narrow range of atmospheric pressure - -
adapt to changes in your internal and external needed for proper gas exchange of O2 and CO2
environments EX Increased body temperature = in the lungs
sweating
Homeostasis - -process by which
What is human movement? - -The motion organisms maintain a relatively stable internal
of individual organs and even individual cells ex environment
blood, lymphatic, celular
What is negative feedback? - -Body
What is developmental anatomy? - -The REVERSES an original stimulus to regain
changes the body goes through in life. Which balance ex sweating
includes differentiation in which i specialized cells
become specialized in structure and function to
perform certain tasks in the body What are the three negative feedback
components? - -Sensor; monitors a
physiological value
What is growth? - -Increase in body size Control center; the component in a feedback
system that compares the value to the normal
range
What is reproduction? - -Formation of new Effector; the component in a feedback system
organisms from parent organisms that causes a change to reverse the situation and
return the value to the normal range
When is brain damage likely without oxygen? -
-4-7 minutes What is positive feedback? - -Body
ENHANCES original stimulus to make deviation
greater
What is a nutrient? - -A substance in foods
and beverages that is essential to human
survival ( three basic classes, water, nutrients & What is an example of positive feedback? -
micronutrients ) -Blood clotting. The initial clotting triggers
the formation of more clots. Childbirth. Nerve
signals.
Narrow range of temperature - -normal
body temp is 98.6 which is needed for many
