Study Notes

Structure and Function of the Human Body

  • Anatomy is the study of the structure and location of the body and its organs.
  • Physiology is the study of how the human body functions.
  • Pathology is the study of anything that disrupts the normal structure or function of the body.
  • Characteristics of life include responsiveness, conductivity, digestion, absorption, growth, respiration, secretion, circulation, reproduction, and excretion.
  • The human body is organized into different levels: chemical, cell, tissue, organ, system, and organism.
  • Epithelial tissue forms large sheets, muscle tissue allows for movement, connective tissue supports the body, and nervous tissue transmits impulses.
  • Organs are made up of different types of tissue and perform specific functions.
  • The body is composed of various systems, including the integumentary, skeletal, muscular, nervous, sensory, endocrine, cardiovascular, lymphatic, respiratory, digestive, urinary, and reproductive systems.
  • Metabolism refers to the chemical processes that occur in the body, including anabolism and catabolism.
  • Homeostasis is the ability to maintain a stable internal environment despite external changes.
  • Feedback systems, including negative and positive feedback, help maintain homeostasis.
  • Overall, the human body is a complex and interconnected system that allows for life and function.
