Study Notes
Structure and Function of the Human Body
- Anatomy is the study of the structure of the body and its organs, while physiology is the study of how the body functions.
- Pathology is the study of anything that interferes with the normal structure or function of the body.
- Responsiveness/irritability is the ability to sense and respond to changes in the external environment.
- Conductivity is the ability to transmit signals from one part of the body to another.
- Normal body temperature is 98.6°F, and the body aims to stabilize temperature.
- Digestion is the process of breaking down food into simple units that can be absorbed and used by cells.
- Absorption is the movement of digested materials through the digestive system into the body for use by cells.
- Growth refers to the ability to increase in size or number of cells.
