CELLULAR LEVEL/CELLS ◦ Smallest independent units of life ◦ Basic structural and functional units of an organism that are composed of chemicals ◦ Cells vary in size from a sperm (about 5 um) long to a nerve cell with thin fibers (maybe a meter long). eg. Muscle cells, Nerve cells, Epithelial cells 3. TISSUE LEVEL/TISSUES ◦ Made up of many similar cells that perform a specific function. ◦ Four basic types of tissues: Epithelial, Connective, Nervous, Muscular Tissues JJES, RMT Levels of Structural Organization FOUR (4) BASIC TYPES OF TISSUES EPITHELIAL TISSUES– covers body surfaces, lines hollow organs and cavities, and forms glands. CONNECTIVE TISSUES– connects, supports, and protects body organs while distributing blood vessels to other tissues. NERVOUS TISSUES– carries information from one part of the body to another through nerve impulses. MUSCULAR TISSUES– contracts to make body parts move and generate heat. JJES, RMT Levels of Structural Organization 4. ORGAN LEVEL/ORGANS ◦ Tissues that are joined together ◦ structures that are composed of two or more different types of tissues ◦ they have specific functions and usually have recognizable shapes ◦ eg. stomach, skin, bones, heart, liver, lungs, and brain 5. SYSTEM LEVEL/SYSTEMS/ORGAN SYSTEM ◦ consists of related organs with a common function. ◦ eg. Digestive system, which breaks down and absorbs food. Its organs include the mouth, salivary glands, pharynx (throat), esophagus (food tube), stomach, small intestine, large intestine, liver, gallbladder, and pancreas. JJES, RMT 5.

ORGANISM Any living individual. All the parts of the human body functioning together constitute the total organism. JJES, RMT Basic Life Processes 1. METABOLISM– the sum of all the chemical processes that occur in the body. A. Catabolism– the breakdown of complex chemical substances into simpler components. B. Anabolism– the building up of complex chemical substances from smaller, simpler components 2. RESPONSIVENESS– is the body’s ability to detect and respond to changes. 3. MOVEMENT– includes motion of the whole body, individual organs, single cells, and tiny structures inside cells. 4. GROWTH–an increase in body size that results from an increase in the size of existing cells, an increase in the number of cells, or both. 5. DIFFERENTIATION– is the development of a cell from an unspecialized to a specialized state 6. REPRODUCTION– refers either to (1) the formation of new cells for tissue growth, repair, or replacement, or (2) the production JJES, RMT Homeostasis “unchanging sameness”, “staying the same”. (homeo = sameness, stasis = standing still) The maintenance of a relatively constant internal environment that is essential to life. Is the condition of equilibrium (balance) in the body’s internal environment due to the constant interaction of the body’s many regulatory processes. HOMEOSTASIS AND BODY FLUIDS Intracellular Fluid (ICF)– fluid within cells Extracellular Fluid (ECF)– fluid outside body cells a. Interstitial fluid - ECF that fills the narrow spaces between cells of tissues. b. Blood plasma– ECF within blood vessels c. Lymph fluid– ECF within lymphatic vessels d. Cerebrospinal Fluid (CSF)– ECF in and around the brain and spinal cord e. Synovial Fluid– ECF in the joints f. Aqueous humor and Vitreous body– ECF in the eyes JJES, RMT The Feedback System/Mechanism The body can regulate its internal environment through many feedback mechanisms. The feedback system or feedback loop is a cycle of events in which the status of the body's condition is being monitored, evaluated, changed, re-monitored, reevaluated, and so on. 3 COMPONENTS OF THE FEEDBACK MECHANISM: 1. RECEPTOR- a body structure that monitors changes in a controlled condition and sends input to a control center; this pathway is also called an afferent pathway. 2. CONTROL CENTER– receives the input and sends nerve impulses to the effector 3. EFFETOR– is a body structure that receives output from the control center and produces a response or effect that changes the controlled condition JJES, RMT The Feedback System/Mechanism JJES, RMT Positive feedback system/mechanism A positive feedback system tends to strengthen or reinforce a change in one of the body’s controlled conditions. Effectors respond by exaggerating or enhancing the stimulus Typically used to deal with threat or stress Rare in healthy individuals. Normal childbirth provides a good example of a positive feedback system JJES, RMT Negative feedback system/mechanism Reverses the change in controlled condition. An effector activated by control center that opposes the stimulus Eg. Body temperature When it is too hot- sweat to cold When it is too cold- shiver to heat JJES, RMT Thank you for listening, future RMTs! 🧡 JJES, RMT
