1. Anatomy Studies the structures of the body parts and their relationships
to one another
2. Physiology Concerns the functions of the body, how the body parts work
and carry out their life sustaining activites
3. Structural organization Chemical, cellular, tissue, organ, organ system, organismal
4. Chemical Atoms and molecules
5. Cellular Cells and their organelles
6. Tissue Groups of similar cells
7. Organ Contains two or more types of tissues
8. Organ system Organs that work closely together
9. Organismal All organ systems
10. Integumentary system Forms the external body covering, and protects deeper tissues
from injury
11. Skeletal system Protects and supports body organs, and provides the framework
the muscles use to cause movement
12. Muscular system Allows manipulation of the environment, locomotion, and facial
expression. Maintains posture, and produces heat.
13. Nervous system As the fast-acting control system of the body, it responds to
internal and external changes by activating appropriate muscles
and glands.
14. Endocrine system

Glands secrete hormones that regulate processes such as
growth, reproduction, and nutrient use (metabolism) by body
cells
15. cardiovascular system Blood vessels transport blood, which carries oxygen, carbon
dioxide, nutrients, wastes etc. The heart pumps blood
16. Lymphatic system Picks up fluid leaked from blood vessels and returns it to blood.
Disposes of debris in the lymphatic stream. Houses white blood
cells involved in immunity.
17. respirtory system Keeps blood constantly supplied with oxygen and removes car-
bon dioxide. The gaseous exchanges occur through the walls of
the air sacs of the lungs
18. Digestive System Breaks down food into absorbable units that enter the blood for
distribution to body cells.
19. Urinary system Eliminates nitrogenous wastes from the body. Regulates water,
electrolyte and acid-base balance of the blood.
20. Reproductive system (male) -produces and transports sperm
-secretes hormones
-sexual function
21. Reproductive system (fe- -produces and transports eggs
male) -site of fetal development, fetal nourishment, childbirth, and
lactation
-secretes hormones
-sexual function
22. Anatomy subdivisions Gross or macroscopic, microscopic, developmental
23. Gross Large body structures visible to the naked eye
