What is the difference between Anatomy is the study of the structure of body parts,
anatomy and physiology? whereas physiology is the study of the function of
body parts
What are the levels of organization? subatomic particles, atom, molecule,
macromolecule, organelle, cell, tissue, organ,
organ system, organism
What are the requirements of life? Water, food, oxygen, heat, pressure
What are the characteristics of life? Movement (internal or gross); Responsiveness
(reaction to internal or external change); Growth
(increase in size without change in shape);
Reproduction (new organisms or new cells);
Respiration (use of oxygen; removal of CO2);
Digestion (breakdown of food); Absorption
(movement of substances through membranes and
into fluids); Circulation (movement within body
fluids); Assimilation (changing nutrients into
chemically different forms); Excretion (removal of
metabolic wastes)
, Define homeostasis Body's maintenance of a stable environment
What is a homeostatic mechanism? the body maintains homeostasis through a number
of self-regulating control systems; examples are
regulating body temperature and pressure sensitive
receptors to regulate body pressure

(weight). It is composed of elements.
Define element fundamental substance composed of chemically
identical atoms
Define atoms smallest particle of an element; basic unit of matter
What is the structure of an atom? An atom consists of a nucleus containing protons
and neutrons, with electrons in
orbit around the nucleus.
