Histology
study of tissues
The Integumantary System
provides protection, regulation of body temp, prevents water loss, and helps produce vitamin D.
Consists of: Skin, Hair, Nails, & Sweat Glands

Urinary System
removes waste from the blood and regulates pH, water, and ion balance
Reproductive System
Produces and transfers sex cells, in woman also produces an environment for a growing fetus and milk for the baby after birth.
Cell
the basic structural and functional unit of plants and animals
Tissue
composed of a group a group similar cells and the material surrounding them
What are the levels of organization in order.
- Chemical Level
- Cell Level
- Tissue Level
- Organ Level
- Organ System Level
- Organism Level
Growth
an increase in size and or number of cells
Differentiation
changing from a general cell to a specific cell
Homeostasis
the existence and maintenance of a relatively constant condition inside the body.
Negative Feedback
maintains homeostasis
Positive Feedback
when the response to the original stimulus causes the body to move further away from homeostasis
