carbon dioxide) and larger macromolecules (lipids, proteins, nucleic acid)
| | | | | | | | |
Cellular level - ANSWER-cells are comprised of molecules; they are the smallest
| | | | | | | | | | |
living units in the body; cellular organelles are their functional subunits
| | | | | | | | | | |
Anatomy - ANSWER-study of internal and external structures of the human
| | | | | | | | | |
body. Given that specific structures perform specific functions, therefore,
| | | | | | | | |
structure determines function
| | |
Microscopic anatomy - ANSWER-study of body structures that cannot be
| | | | | | | | |
viewed without magnification, includes cytology and histology
| | | | | | |
,Gross anatomy - ANSWER-study of body structures which are visible without
| | | | | | | | | |
the aid of magnification (visible to the naked eye)
| | | | | | | | |

| | | | | | | | |
conception to physical maturity
| | | |

| | | | | | | | | |
animals
|

| | | | | | | | | | | | |
body
Organ level - ANSWER-more than one tissue type (often all four tissues)
| | | | | | | | | | |
combine to form organs; extremely complex physiological processes occur at
| | | | | | | | | |
this level
| |

form an organ system, to accomplish a common purpose; there are 11 organ
| | | | | | | | | | | | |
systems of the human body.

| | | | | | |
,Skeletal System - ANSWER-Support, protection of soft tissues, mineral storage,
| | | | | | | | |
blood formation
| |

| | | | | | | |
that regulate processes (such as metabolism, growth, reproduction) of the
| | | | | | | | | |
other organ systems
| | |

| | | | | | | |
|lymphatic vessels, lymphoid organs (lymph nodes, thymus, spleen),
| | | | | | |
lymphocytes, and lymphoid tissue; returns leaked fluid to blood; provides
| | | | | | | | |
|defense against pathogens and disease by housing white blood cells
| | | | | | | | |
(lymphocytes) that function in immunity | | | |
Respiratory System - ANSWER-comprised of the nasal cavities, pharynx, larynx,
| | | | | | | | |
trachea, bronchi, and the lungs; maintains the blood's constant supply of
| | | | | | | | | | |
oxygen and removal of carbon dioxide by delivering air to the lungs where gas
| | | | | | | | | | | | |
exchange occurs at the alveoli (air sacs of the lungs)
| | | | | | | | | |
Digestive System - ANSWER-comprised of the gastrointestinal tract (or
| | | | | | | |
alimentary canal) and accessory structures, which together function to process
| | | | | | | | |
food and absorb nutrients
| | | |
, Urinary System - ANSWER-comprised of the kidneys, ureters, the urinary
| | | | | | | | |
bladder, and the urethra; functions to eliminate excess water, salts, and
| | | | | | | | | | |
nitrogenous wastes from the body; regulates water, electrolyte, and acid-base
| | | | | | | | |
balance of the blood
| | | |
Reproductive System - ANSWER-comprised of gonads (testes in the male,
| | | | | | | | |
ovaries in the female), accessory organs and external genitalia, overall function
| | | | | | | | | | |
is to produce sex cells and hormones for the purpose of producing offspring;
| | | | | | | | | | | | |
the female reproductive system supports embryonic development
| | | | | | |
Anatomical Position - ANSWER-person is standing upright, arms at sides, palms
| | | | | | | | | |
facing forward, feet flat on floor, face straight ahead
| | | | | | | | |
Axial Region - ANSWER-consists of the head, neck, and torso
| | | | | | | | |
Appendicular Region - ANSWER-consists of the upper and lower limbs (for
| | | | | | | | | |
extremities)
|
Superior (cranial & cephalic) - ANSWER-above or towards the head
| | | | | | | | |
Interior (caudal) - ANSWER-below or towards the feet
| | | | | | |
Anterior (ventral) - ANSWER-toward the front of the body; in front of (the front
| | | | | | | | | | | | |
or belly side)
