Anatomy vs. Physiology
Anatomy – study of structure
Physiology – how anatomy/structure works
Body’s Hierarchy from smallest-largest
Atom, Molecule, Cell, Tissue, Organ, Organ/Body System, Organism
4 atoms that make up 96% of body
Oxygen, Carbon, Hydrogen, Nitrogen
Cell functions
Obtain food/oxygen Perform chemical reactions Eliminate CO2 and Waste Synthesize proteins and cell components Control exchange of materials Move materials Respond to environmental changes Reproduction
