Levels of organization
Each level is more complex than underlying one.
All broken down to similar chemical and cellular components
What are the levels of organization?
Chemical/molecular, cellular, tissue, organ, organ system, organism
Chemical/molecular level / functional property
Atoms combine to form molecules, functional property determined by; three dimensional shape, atomic components
Cellular level / functional property
Calls are the smallest living units. Each has a specific function; mitochondrial provides energy for heart muscle contraction
Tissue level / functional property
A group of cells working together to perform specific functions. Heart muscle cells from cardiac muscle tissue
Organ level / functional property
Composed of two or more tissues working together to perform specific functions. Layers of cardiac muscle tissue along with connective tissue form the heart. A three dimensional organ
Organ system level / functional property
Consist of interacting organs. The heart works with blood vessels and blood to form the cardiovascular system
Organism level / functional property
Highest level of organization. Collection of organ systems work together to maintain life and health
Anatomical position
Hands at the sides, palms facing forward, feet together facing forward, eyes facing forward
Anterior body regions
Regions on the front of the body
Frons
Forehead / frontal
