Study Notes
Levels of Structural Organization
- The human body has six levels of structural complexity
- The simplest level is the chemical level, involving atoms combining to form molecules
- Molecules form cells, the basic units of life
- Cells of similar function group together to form tissues
- Tissues combine to create organs
- Organs work together in organ systems
- Multiple systems form the organism
Anatomy and Physiology
- Anatomy studies the body's structure and shape
- Gross anatomy involves large, visible structures (e.g., heart, bones)
- Microscopic anatomy studies structures too small to see without a microscope (e.g., cells, tissues)
- Physiology studies how the body functions
- Anatomy and physiology are inseparable; structure determines function
Organ Systems
- 11 organ systems make up the human body
- Systems work together for a common purpose (e.g., cardiovascular system circulates blood)
- Examples of organ systems are not listed
Organ examples
- Small intestine (digests food) is composed of four tissue types
- Heart, blood vessels are part of the cardiovascular system
- Lungs exchange gases to provide oxygen to the body
Studying That Suits You
