    Study Notes

    Anatomy and Physiology

    • Anatomy is the study of the structure of the body.
    • Physiology is the study of the functions of the body.
    • The two disciplines are inseparable as structure dictates function.
    • For example, the lungs have thin walls, which allows them to exchange gases.

    Levels of Structural Organization

    • The structural ladder begins with the chemical level, where atoms combine to form molecules.
    • Molecules associate to form microscopic cells.
    • Tissues are groups of similar cells with a common function.
    • Organs are composed of two or more tissue types that perform a specific function.
    • For example, the small intestine digests food.
