The study of the structure and shape of the body and body parts, and their relationships to each other.

The study of how the body and its parts work or function.

Study of structures visible with the naked eye.

Study of structures on the surface of the body.

Study of specific body regions' complete anatomy.

Structure determines function.

Lungs have thin walls for gas exchange, unlike the heart's muscular chambers for pumping.

The Greek words 'tomy' (to cut) and 'ana' (apart).

The study of how the structures of the body work together to support life, focusing on the body's chemistry and physics.

The body's tendency to maintain a stable internal environment, crucial for life.

The study of organ systems, groups of structures working together for a specific function.

The 11 groups of organs that perform different functions in the human body, e.g., muscular, nervous, respiratory, etc..

The study of structures smaller than what can be seen with the naked eye, requiring a microscope.

The scientific study of cells.

The actions of joints, organs, or cells in displacement and motion.

The process where a cell engulfs and digests solid particles, like bacteria or cellular debris.

The process where a cell engulfs and brings in fluid droplets or dissolved substances into the cell.

A form of reproduction involving the fusion of male and female gametes (sperm and egg) to create offspring with genetic diversity.

A form of reproduction involving a single parent producing genetically identical offspring.

The sum of all chemical reactions occurring within a living organism to maintain life.

The process where unspecialized cells become specialized in structure and function to perform specific tasks.

Increase in size of an organism through increasing cell numbers or the bulk around them.

Cell division creating identical cells used for growth and repair.

Cell division producing sex cells (gametes).

Sex cells produced through meiosis used for reproduction.

Formation of a new organism from parent organisms.

Movement of substances across cell membranes without energy.

Movement of substances across cell membranes requiring energy.

The smallest, independently functioning unit of a living organism; it's the basic building block of all living things and performs all the essential functions of life.

Tiny functioning units within a cell that work together to perform specific tasks. Examples include the nucleus, mitochondria, and ribosomes.

A group of similar cells that work together to perform a specific function. Example: Muscle tissue contracts for movement.

A structure made of at least two different types of tissues that work together. Example: The heart is made of muscle, connective, and nerve tissue.

A group of organs that work together to perform major functions for the body. Example: The digestive system breaks down food and absorbs nutrients.
