The scientific study of the body's structure, including bones and organs.

The study of the processes and functions of living organisms and their systems.

Study of large structures in the body that are visible to the naked eye.

Study of structures too small to be seen without a microscope.

The body's ability to maintain stable internal conditions despite changes in the environment.

The microscopic study of cells, focusing on their structure and function.

The study of structural and functional changes in tissues and organs due to disease.

The study of the effects of exercise on body structure and function.

Interaction of atoms and molecules within the body.

Basic structural and functional unit of living organisms, containing organelles.

Group of similar cells and materials surrounding them; includes four types.

Two or more tissues working together to perform a specific function.

Group of organs working together to perform complex functions.

Protects the body, regulates temperature, prevents water loss; includes skin, hair, nails.

Provides support and protection, allows movement, produces blood cells; made of bones and ligaments.

Produces body movements, maintains posture, generates heat; consists of muscles attached by tendons.

Fundamental traits that define living organisms, such as growth and reproduction.

The set of life-sustaining chemical reactions that involve energy transformation in organisms.

The ability of an organism to sense and respond to changes in its environment.

Increase in size and/or number of cells in an organism over time.

A standard body position: standing upright, facing forward, with arms at the sides and palms facing forward.

Terms that describe locations or positions of structures relative to one another in the body.

Superficial refers to being close to the surface of the body, while deep means further away from the surface.

Anterior refers to the front of the body, while posterior refers to the back of the body.

The most-used feedback mechanism in the body that reduces or shuts off the original stimulus.

A negative feedback mechanism that regulates body temperature via nervous system responses.

An endocrine system mechanism that regulates blood glucose levels using insulin.

Exchanges oxygen and carbon dioxide between the blood and air, regulates blood pH. Consists of lungs and respiratory passages.

Performs digestion, absorption of nutrients, and elimination of wastes. Includes mouth, esophagus, stomach, intestines, and accessory organs.

During exercise, blood pressure increases to supply muscles with more oxygen.

Removes waste from blood and regulates blood pH, ions, and water balance. Comprises kidneys, urinary bladder, and ducts that carry urine.

A feedback mechanism that enhances or exaggerates the original stimulus, often leading away from homeostasis.

Childbirth, lactation, and blood clotting are examples of positive feedback mechanisms.

Produces oocytes, site of fertilization, fetal development, and milk production. Influences sexual function and behaviors. Consists of ovaries, vagina, uterus.

In positive feedback, response leads to amplifying effects, continuing in the same direction.

Produces and transfers sperm cells to females, and produces hormones influencing sexual functions and behaviors.

Mainly facilitates gas exchange and regulates blood acidity.

Aberrant positive feedback that can lead to severe conditions, like decreased blood pressure after hemorrhage.

Breaks down food mechanically and chemically, absorbing nutrients and discarding waste.

Maintains homeostasis by regulating waste removal and fluid balance.

A major regulatory system that detects sensations and controls movements, processes, and intellect. Includes the brain, spinal cord, nerves, and sensory receptors.

A major regulatory system influencing metabolism, growth, and reproduction through hormone secretion from glands like the pituitary.

Transports nutrients, waste, gases, and hormones; involved in immune response and temperature regulation. Consists of the heart, blood vessels, and blood.

Removes foreign substances from blood and lymph, combats disease, maintains tissue fluid balance, and absorbs fats. Consists of lymphatic vessels and nodes.

Cells that detect sensory stimuli, such as light, sound, touch, and taste, sending information to the nervous system.

A crucial gland in the endocrine system that secretes hormones influencing growth and metabolism.

The organ that pumps blood throughout the cardiovascular system, supplying oxygen and nutrients to tissues.

Small structures in the lymphatic system that filter lymph fluid, trapping bacteria and other pathogens.
