Study Notes
Human Body Structure
- The human body is composed of many different types of cells that together create tissues, organs, and organ systems.
- The body's structure ensures homeostasis and its viability.
Body Components
- The body consists of a head, hair, neck, torso (thorax and abdomen), arms and hands, legs and feet.
Study of the Human Body
- The study of the human body includes anatomy, physiology, histology, and embryology.
- Anatomy focuses on the body's structure, while physiology focuses on the functions of the body's systems and organs.
Body Functions
- Many systems and mechanisms interact to maintain homeostasis, with safe levels of substances such as sugar and oxygen in the blood.
- The body's systems and mechanisms work together to ensure its overall viability.
Composition
- The human body is composed of elements including hydrogen, oxygen, carbon, calcium, and phosphorus.
- These elements reside in trillions of cells and non-cellular components.
