mini DEF.
- Atoms- smallest stable units of matter ;forming blocks
- Molecular (chemical) - atoms join to form molecules; determine by shape
- Cellular LEVEL- Smallest LIVING Structure; functional unit of the body
- Tissue LEVEL- groups of cells working together to perform several functions
- Organ LEVEL- 2 or more tissues organized to perform several functions
- Organ System LEVEL- interaction of organs & tissues for common purpose
- Whole Organism- human beings. need all 11 systems.
What is Anatomy?
Study of internal and external structures
What is Physiology?
how living organisms perform vital functions
Explain Structure and Function
Structure dictates Function
Altering the Structure alters the Function
Specific Functions are performed by Specific Structures

Autoregulation?
- occurs when cells or systems adjusts its activities automatically
