What is considered to be the foundation for understanding the structure and function of the human body?
Anatomy and physiology are the foundation for understanding the sturctures and functions of the human body.
What is anatomy?
Anatomy is the science of structure and the relationships among structures.
What is physiology?
The science of body functions, that is how it the body parts work.
What is the science of the structure of the body and its parts?
Anatomy is the science of the structure of the body and its parts.
What is the study of the normal functioning of the body?
Physiology is the study of the normal functioning of the body.
What is the basic difference between anatomy and physiology?
Anatomy is the study if structure and physiology is the study of function.
The anatomy or structure often determines the function it can perform.
How many levels of organization are in the human body?
There are 6 levels of organization in the human body. These levels are chemical, cellular, tissue, organ, system, and organismal.
What is a cell?
A cell is the basic unit of life; the basic structural unit that makes up tissue and organs.

Cell, tissue, organ, organ systsem, or organism?
The basic unit of life; the basic structural unit that makes up tissue and organs is called a cell.
What is tissue?
Tissue is a group or collection of similar cells that perform a specific function.
A group or collection of similar cells that perform a specific function is called what?
Cell, tissue, organ, organ system, organism?
A group or collection of similar cells that perfomr a speicific function is called a tissue.
What is an organ?
An organ is a structure of the body that is made of a group of tissues and performs a speicalized function.
What is a structure of the body that is made up of a group of tissues and performs a speicalized function? Cell, tissue, organ, organ system or organism?
An organ is a structure of the body that is made up of a group of tissues and performs a specialized function.
What is an organ system?
An organ system is a group of organs that act together to perform a speicalized body function.
What is a group of organs that act together to perform a speicalized body function? Cell, tissue, organ, organ system, or organism?
An organ system is a group of organs that act together to perform a speicalized body function.
What is an organism?
An organism is an individual living thing.
What is an individual living thing called?
An individual living thing is called an organism.
What is an atom?
Atoms are the smallest units of matter.
What are molecules?
Molecules are two or more atoms joined together.
What are the four basic levels of tissue?
The four basic levels of tissue are…
epithelial tissue, conntective tissue, muscular tissue, and nervous tissue.
What is the serous membrane?
The serous membrane is a layer around the outside of the stomach that protects it and reduces friction when the stomach moves and rubs against organs.
How many organ system are there in the human body?
There are 12 systems in the human body. The intergumentary system, skeletal system, muscual system, nervous system, endorcine system, sensory sytem, cardiovasular (also known as ciculatory system), lymphatic system, respirtory system, the digestive system, urinary system and reproductive system.
What is the integumentary system?
The skin and the accessory organin it (the hair, nails, and glands), provide external support and protection.
What are some of the components of the integumentary system?
Skin, and structues assocated with it such as hair, nails, and sweat and oil glands are all components of the integumentary system.
What are the functions of the integumentary system?
The function of the integumentary system include helping regulate the body temperature; protects the body, eliminates some wastes, it also helps make vitamin D, detect sensations such as touch, pressure, pain, warmth and cold.
What is the skeletal system?
The skeletal system a skeleton of 206 bones and the joints between them provide which provide support and a framework for body movement.
What are some components of the skeletal system?
All the bone and the joints of the body and their associated cartilages.
What are the functions of the skeletal system?
To support and protect the body, provides a specific area for muscle attachment , assists with body movements, stores cells that produce blood cells and stores minerals and lipids.
What is the Endocrine System?
interal glands like the pituitary, thyriod, adrenals and gonards secrete hormones for body regulation
What are the components of the endocrine system?
All the glands and tissues that produce chemail regulators of body functions, called hormones
What are the functions of the Endocrine System?
Control sytem that regulates body activities through hormones transported by the blood to various target organs.
