BIO 204 Ch 1 Lecture
1. anatomy: the study of the structure of body parts and their relationships to one another
2. gross anatomy: studying things seen with the naked eye
3. microscopic anatomy: studying things using a microscope
4. developmental anatomy: structural changes throughout life
5. example of developmental anatomy: embryology
6. physiology: the study of the function of the body's structural machinery
7. what is the principle of complementarity: what a structure can do depends on its specific form;
function always reflects structure
8. order the levels of organization from smallest to largest: chemical --> cellular --> tissue
--> organ --> organ system --> organismal
9. chemical level of organization: atoms, molecules, organelles
1/3
, 10. cellular level of organization: cells are made of molecules; single cell
11. tissue level of organization: consists of similar types of cells
12. examples of tissue: epithelial, muscle, connective, nervous
13. organ level of organization: made up of different types of tissues
14. organ system level of organization: consists of different organs that work closely together
15. organismal level of organization: made up of the organ systems
16. characteristics of life: boundary maintenance, movement, digestion, metabolism, excretion, reproduc-
tion, growth
17. boundary maintenance: when the internal environment remains distinct from the external environment
18. boundary maintenance at a cellular level: plasma membrane
19. boundary maintenance at an organismal level: skin
20. types of movement: locomotion, propulsion, contractility
