    Study Notes

    Cell Biology

    • The basic living unit of the body is the cell.

    Physiology

    • Physiology seeks to explain the functions and processes that occur within living organisms.
    • Human physiology specifically focuses on the study of the human body.

    Cellular Environment

    • A fluid bathes the cells of the body.

    Cellular Characteristics
