Pathophysiology
the very basic level which includes atoms, the smallest units of matter that participate in chemical reactions, and molecules, two or more atoms joined together
Chemical level
molecules combine to form cells, the basic structural and functional units of an organism that are composed of chemicals
Cellular level
groups of cells and the materials surrounding them that work together to perform a particular function
Tissue level
different types of tissues are joined together that have specific functions and usually have recognizable shapes
Organ level
