Organisation of the Human Body Flashcards
Name and describe the six levels of structural organisation of the human body, and be able to give examples of each Name the eleven systems of the human body and understand their components and functions Name the four basic tissue types
What are the 6 levels of structural organisation in the human body?
Chemical Level
Cellular Level
Tissue Level
Organ Level
System Level
Organismal Level
What is an example of a Chemical level structure?
The building blocks of the body, such as atoms which join to form molecules (complex shapes and activities)
What is an example of a Cellular level structure?
Basic structural and functional units of the body (200 types), an example may be cardiac muscle cells.
What is an example of a Tissue Level structure?
Tissues are groups of cells that work together to perform a particular function. 4 major classes: Epithelial,
Connective, Muscle, Nerve. For example, cardiac muscles.
What is an example of an Organ Level structure?
Organs are structures with specific functions composed of two or more types of tissue, for example, the heart.
What is an example of a System Level structure?
A system consists of related organs with a common function, an example may be the cardiovascular system.
What is an example of an Organismal Level structure?
All the parts of the body function together to constitute a living organism. Essentially, the living individual itself.
What are the 11 Systems in the Human Body?
Integumentary, Muscular, Skeleton, Nervous, Endocrine, Lymphatic, Cardiovascular, Respiratory, Digestive, Urinary, Reproductive (IMSNELCRDUR)
What are Tissues?
They are a group of cells that work together to perform a particular function in the body
What is the Integumentary System and what are it’s functions?
The integumentary system is the largest organ of the body that forms a physical barrier between the external environment and the internal environment that it serves to protect and maintain. The integumentary system includes the epidermis, dermis, hypodermis, associated glands, hair, and nails.
What is the Muscular System and what are it’s functions?
What is the Muscular System and what are it’s functions?
What is the Skeletal System and what are it’s functions?
What is the Nervous System and what are it’s functions?
What is the Endocrine System and what are it’s functions?
What is the Lymphatic System and what are it’s functions?
What is the Cardiovascular System and what are it’s functions?
What is the Respiratory System and what are it’s functions?
What is the Urinary System and what are it’s functions?
What is the Digestive System and what are it’s functions?
What is the Reproductive System and what are it’s functions?
What are the 4 basic tissues?
Epithelial, Connective, Nervous, Muscle
