Study Notes

Organization of the Human Body

  • The human body is organized into levels, starting with atoms and molecules, then cells, tissues, organs, organ systems, and finally the organism.
  • Atoms combine to form molecules.
  • Cells are the basic unit of structure and function in living things. Specialized cells, like bone, blood, and muscle cells, have unique structures for their functions.
  • Tissues are groups of similar cells working together for a specific task. Examples of tissues include epithelial, connective, nervous, and muscle tissues.
  • Organs are different types of tissues structured together to complete a specific task. For example, the eye is an organ made of epithelial, nervous, muscle, and connective tissues.
  • Organ systems are groups of related organs working together to perform specific functions. Examples are the digestive or nervous systems.
  • The human body is made up of many organ systems that interact with each other to maintain homeostasis, a stable internal environment.
  • Examples of organ systems are the respiratory, circulatory, excretory, nervous, immune, lymphatic, reproductive, muscular, and skeletal systems.
  • The human body is a complex system with many interacting levels. Every level (atoms, cells, tissues, organs, etc.) works to complete complex tasks that are necessary for proper bodily functions.

Cell

  • Cells are the basic structural and functional unit of all living organisms.
  • These cells have specific roles like bone, blood, and muscle cells.

Tissues

  • Tissues are groups of similar cells that work together to perform a specific function.
  • Examples include epithelial, connective, muscle, and nervous tissues.

Organs

  • Organs are structures composed of different tissues working together to carry out a complex function.
  • The eye, heart, stomach, brain, lungs, and skin are examples of organs.

Organ Systems

  • These are groups of related organs working together to accomplish a larger goal.
  • The circulatory and digestive systems are examples of organ systems.

Homeostasis

  • Homeostasis is the maintenance of a stable internal environment in the body.
