Study Notes
Introduction to Anatomy and Physiology
- Anatomy is the science of body structures and their relationships.
- Dissection is the careful cutting apart of body structures to study their relationships.
- Physiology is the study of body functions.
- The human body is organized into levels of increasing complexity.
Levels of Organization
- Chemical level: Atoms, the smallest units of matter, and molecules (e.g., DNA, glucose)
- Cellular level: Cells are the basic unit of life.
- Tissue level: Tissues are groups of similar cells working together.
- Organ level: Organs are composed of different tissues.
- System level: Systems are groups of organs.
- Organismal level: The organism (human body) as a whole.
Chemical Level Details
- Atoms join to form molecules
- Examples of molecules in the body are DNA and glucose.
