Define the term 'physiology' as it relates to the study of the human body.
Define the term 'physiology' as it relates to the study of the human body.
Physiology is the study of the function of the body's structures, such as how organs, tissues, and cells operate.
What is the relationship between anatomy and behavior in the context of understanding human behavior?
What is the relationship between anatomy and behavior in the context of understanding human behavior?
Anatomical structures, such as specific brain regions, underpin behavior. Different parts of the brain serve different functions affecting behavior.
List the levels of organization in the human body from simplest to most complex.

Study Notes
Anatomy, Physiology, and Behavior
- Anatomy studies the body's physical structure (organs, tissues, cells).
- Physiology studies the functions of these structures.
- Behavior describes how organisms respond to stimuli (internal or external).
- Behavior is influenced by anatomy and physiology (brain regions, neurotransmitter release).
Levels of Organization
- The body has complex interdependent levels, from smallest to largest.
- Subatomic particles (protons, neutrons, electrons) are the building blocks of matter.
- Atoms (oxygen, carbon) are the smallest units of matter.
- Molecules (water, glucose) are combinations of atoms.
- Macromolecules (DNA, proteins) are large molecules vital for life processes.
- Organelles (mitochondria, nucleus) are specialized structures inside cells.
- Cells (neurons, muscle cells) are the basic units of life.
- Tissues (nervous tissue) are groups of similar cells with specific functions.
- Organs (heart, brain) are composed of multiple tissues working together.
- Organ systems (digestive, nervous system) are groups of organs performing related tasks.
- Organism: The complete living being.
- Defects at smaller levels can affect larger, higher levels of organization, including psychological functions.
