    Study Notes

    Structure and Function of the Human Body

    • Anatomy is the study of the structure of the body and its organs.
    • Physiology is the study of the function of the human body.
    • Pathology is the study of anything that interferes with the normal structure or function of the body.
    • Characteristics of life include responsiveness, conductivity, digestion, absorption, growth, respiration, secretion, circulation, reproduction, and excretion.
    • The human body is organized into levels, including chemical, cell, tissue, organ, system, and organism.
    • There are four types of tissue: epithelial, muscle, connective, and nervous.
    • Organs are made up of different types of tissue arranged to perform a specific function.
    • The integumentary system includes the skin and accessory structures and functions to protect the body.
    • The skeletal system provides a framework for the body with bones, joints, tendons, and ligaments.
    • The muscular system allows for movement and generates heat.
    • The nervous system coordinates and controls the body with the brain, spinal cord, and nerves.
    • The endocrine system consists of ductless glands that secrete hormones for coordination and control.
