    Study Notes

    Basic Units of Matter and Life

    • Atoms are the smallest unit of any pure substance.
    • Cells are the smallest independently functioning unit of a living organism.
    • Organisms are typically categorized as complex units composed of various interacting systems.

    Chemical Foundations

    • Elements serve as the chemical building blocks for all body structures and include unique pure substances like oxygen, carbon, and hydrogen.
    • Atoms consist of subatomic particles: protons, neutrons, and electrons.

    Tissue and Organ Structures

    • Tissues are groups of similar cells that perform a specific function.
    • Muscle tissue is made up of specialized cells that have the ability to contract and relax, enabling movement.
    • Epithelial tissue covers body surfaces and performs protective and regulatory functions.
    • Connective tissue provides support, binds other tissues together, and stores energy, including fat in adipose tissue.

    Organ Systems and Organizational Hierarchy

    • An organ is a structure composed of multiple types of tissues working together for a specific function.
    • Organ systems are groups of organs that cooperate to perform complex functions for the body.
    • The highest level of organization in an organism is the organism itself, integrating all lower levels—cells, tissues, and organs—into a functional whole.

    Functions of Various Tissues

    • The primary functions of connective tissue include storage of energy, supporting other tissues, and facilitating transport within the body.
    • Adipose tissue's primary function is energy storage and insulation.
    • Muscle tissue functions to facilitate movement through contraction and relaxation.

    Cellular Component Overview

    • Organelles are specialized structures within a cell that perform distinct functions, crucial for the cell's operations.
