Study Notes
Structural & Functional Organization of the Human Body (L3)
- Definitions: Anatomy, physiology, histology
- Organization of the Body:
- Atoms are held together by chemical bonds
- The body is designed to acquire and use raw materials and energy
- Levels of Structural Organization:
- Chemical Level:
- Subatomic particles, atoms, molecules, macromolecules
- Cellular Level:
- Cells and organelles (basic cell functions)
- Eukaryotic cell structures and functions
- Tissue Level:
- Epithelial Tissue: Simple and stratified sheets, general features/appearance
- Connective Tissue:
- General types (fibrous – loose, dense irregular, dense regular; specialized – cartilage, bone, adipose, blood)
- General features/appearance
- 3 types of muscle tissue (skeletal, cardiac, smooth) , features/appearance
- Muscular Tissue
- General features/appearance of each type
- Nervous Tissue:
