Study Notes
Maintaining Life Functions
- Humans need to satisfy essential survival needs such as food, oxygen, water, appropriate temperature and atmospheric pressure to sustain life.
- In addition to these needs, there are eight key functions the human body constantly engages in to maintain life.
- These eight functions are: response to stimuli, movement, growth, maintaining boundaries, reproduction, metabolism, digestion, and excretion.
- Visualizing these functions can be helpful in understanding their connection to the human body.
- A diagram showing a human figure divided into eight sections each with a different color helps visually classify and explain the different functions.
- Each section corresponds to a different function listed in the text.
- The diagram uses numbers 1 through 8 to help correlate the sections with the function list.
