Anatomy - ANSWER The study of body STRUCTURE and the relationships among them



Physiology - ANSWER The study of body FUNCTIONS-how the body parts work.



The 6 structural levels of organization IN ORDER - ANSWER 1. Chemical level

2. Cellular level

3. Tissue level

4. Organ level

5. System level

6. Organismal level



1. Chemical level of organization - ANSWER The most basic.



Contains atoms:

C (calcium), H (hydrogen), O (oxygen), N (nitrogen), P (phosphorus), Ca (calcium), S (sulfur)
are essential for maintaining life.



And molecules such as DNA and glucose



2. Cellular level of organization - ANSWER Molecules combine to form the basic
structural and functional units of an organism that are composed of chemicals. The smallest
living units in the human body.


1

,Ex: muscle, nerve, epithelial



3. Tissue level of organization - ANSWER Groups of cells that work together to perform
a particular function. There are four basic types:



1. Epithelial- covers body surfaces, lines hollow organs and cavities, forms glands



2. Connective- connects, supports, protects body organs while distributing blood vessels



3. Muscular- contracts to make body parts move, generates heat



4. Nervous- carries information from one part of the body to another through nerve
impulses



4. Organ level of organization - ANSWER Structures that are composed of two or more
different types of tissues that have specific functions and recognizable shapes.



Ex: stomach, skin, bones, heart, liver, lungs, brain



5. System level of organization - ANSWER Related organs with a common function.



Ex: digestive- breaks down and absorbs food.



6. Organismal level of organization - ANSWER All parts of the body functioning
together, any living individual.



The 6 basic life processes - ANSWER 1. Metabolism

2. Responsiveness

2

, 3. Movement

4. Growth

5. Differentiation

6. Reproduction



Metabolism - ANSWER The sum of all chemical processes that occur in the body. Two
phases are:



1. catabolism- the breakdown of complex chemicals to simpler components

2. anabolism- the building up of complex chemicals from smaller, simpler components.



Responsiveness - ANSWER The body's ability to detect and react to changes.



Ex: nerve cells react by generating nerve impulses (action potentials).



Movement - ANSWER An act of changing physical location of the whole body,
individual organs, single cells, tiny structures inside cells.



Ex: when a body tissue is damaged or infected, WBCs migrate from bloodstream into
affected tissue to clean and repair the area.



Growth - ANSWER Increase in body size that results from increase in the size of
existing cells, an increase in the number of cells, or both. A tissue sometimes increases in
size because the amount of material between cells increases.



Ex: in a bone mineral deposits accumulate between bone cells, causing the bone to increase
in length and width.



Differentiation - ANSWER The development of a cell from unspecialized to specialized.
