Document Summary
Anatomy is the study of physical structures that make up an organism. Parts are organized hierarchically smaller units organized into increasingly larger units, organized into more complex systems. Types of cell examples: nerve cell, connective tissue cell, muscle cell. Humans and other animals have four different kinds of specialized tissues. Tissues: layers of specialized cells working together to execute particular functions: connective tissue: gives shape, structure and support to other body tissues. Physiology is the study of the way a living organism"s physical parts function. Want to understand how organ systems cooperate to accomplish basic tasks, such as: Nutrients to build new molecules in growth and repair. Body is an integrated system for processing inputs and outputs and maintaining homeostasis the body"s use of the physical and chemical processes to maintain a consistent internal environment. Example: body temperature, blood ph, salt concentration, blood glucose concentration, blood pressure. Thermoregulation: the maintenance of relatively stable internal body temperature (37c,
