Unit 1: Introduction to Anatomy
and Physiology
1.2 - Overview of Anatomy and Physiology
Anatomy = Organ/Organ System Structure
Physiology = Organ/Organ System Functions
Characteristics of Living Organisms
- Cellular Composition (made of cells)
- Metabolism (chemical reactions)
- Growth
- Excretion
- Responsiveness
- Movement
- Reproduction
,Levels of Structural Organization and Body Systems
Pattern of Structural Organization:
Chemicals (molecules and atoms) -> Cells -> Tissues -> Organs -> Organ
Systems -> Organisms
, Body Systems Image -
