• The body plane that divides the body into right and left parts is the sagittal plane.
• The term that refers to the study of tissues is histology.

Levels of Structural Organization

• At the molecular level of structural organization, atoms combine to form molecules.
• The level of structural organization consisting of organs made up of different types of tissues is the organ level.
