Levels of Organizations Flashcards
integrative science that studies the functions of complex living organisms at levels ranging from molecules and cells to organ systems
Physiology
This type of physiology explains the specific characteristics and the physical and chemical mechanisms of the human body that make it a living being
Human Physiology
Science of body structures and relationships
Anatomy
Functional properties of nerve cells
neurophysiology
hormones and how they control body functions
endocrinology
functions of the heart and blood vessels
cardiovascular physiology
how the body defends itself against disease-causing organisms
immunology
functions of the air passageways and lungs
respiratory physiology
functionso fthe kidneys
renal physiology
changes in cell and organ functions as a result of muscular activity
exercise physiology
functional changes associates with disease and aging
pathophysiology
What are the levels of organization of the human body?
chemical, cellular, tissue, organ, organ system, organism level
What system synthesizes vitamin D
integumentary system
how many organ systems does a human body have
11 systems
what organ system houses cells that produce blood cells, aids movement, and supports and protects the body
skeletal system
What organ system produces body movement, generates heat, and stabilizes body position
muscular system
this organ system detects change sin the body’s internal and external environment, interprets changes as responds by causing muscular contractions
Nervous system
What organ system regulates body by releasing hormones
endocrine system
what are the chemical messengers transported in blood?
Hormones
This organ system includes structures where lymphocytes that protect against organisms mature and proliferate
lymphatic and immune system
