What are the 4 main parts of Tissue Organization? - ANSWER ✔✔-Epithelial, Connective, Muscular,
Nervous
Epithelial Tissue - ANSWER ✔✔-Forms outer covering of the body and lining of different body systems.
Connective Tissue - ANSWER ✔✔-Supporting tissue and most widespread. Surrounds cells, organs,
muscles, joints. Acts as frame works
Muscular Tissue - ANSWER ✔✔-Provides for all body movement. 3 Types are skeletal, smooth, and
cardiac
Nervous Tissue - ANSWER ✔✔-Most complex tissue. Make up brain, spinal cord, and nerves. Require
more oxygen and nutrients than other tissue
Organ - ANSWER ✔✔-More complex than tissue. Of two or more tissue types to perform specific
function
System - ANSWER ✔✔-Group of organs working together to meet physiological needs of the body. 11
major systems
Organismal - ANSWER ✔✔-Highest level of organization. Everything working independently to perform
necessary physiological functions
Functions of Human Life - ANSWER ✔✔-metabolism, responsiveness, movement, development,
reproduction
Metabolism - ANSWER ✔✔-Sum of all anabolic and catabolic reactions
Anabolism - ANSWER ✔✔-Small molecules combined to larger, more complex molecules
Catabolism - ANSWER ✔✔-Larger molecules are broken down to smaller, more simple molecules
Responsiveness - ANSWER ✔✔-Ability to adjust to changes in internal and external environment

Movement - ANSWER ✔✔-Motion of whole body, individual organs, single cells, and even tiny
organelles inside cells
Development - ANSWER ✔✔-Changes the body goes through in life. Includes differentiation, where cells
become specialized, and growth and repair, where the body increases in size.
Reproduction - ANSWER ✔✔-Formation of new cells for growth. Carried out by male and female
reproductive systems
Nervous System - ANSWER ✔✔-Detects changes from balanced state. Sends nerve impulse messages to
organs that can counteract the change
Endocrine System - ANSWER ✔✔-Corrects change by secreting hormones into the blood
Feedback System - ANSWER ✔✔-Maintains Homeostasis through receptors, control centers, and
effectors
Sensor in a Feedback Loop - ANSWER ✔✔-Monitors change. Sends input from nerve impulses and
chemical signals to the control center
Control Center in a Feedback Loop - ANSWER ✔✔-Evaluates input from receptors and generates output
Effector in a Feedback Loop - ANSWER ✔✔-Receives output from control center and responds to change
the controlled condition
Negative Feedback System - ANSWER ✔✔-Feedback Loop that reverses situation and returns value to
normal range
Positive Feedback System - ANSWER ✔✔-Feedback Loop that strengthens a change rather than reversing
it
Anterior View - ANSWER ✔✔-Front View
