Document Summary

Section 1 a&p in perspective learning outcomes. What are the 7 universal characteristics of living things: responsiveness, adaptability, growth, development, reproduction, movement, locomotion. Responsiveness is when organisms react to changes in their internal and external environments. Adaptability is when organisms adapt to their environment by changing their behaviour, structure or capabilities. Development is when organisms change in regards to their structure and function. Movement is the ability for materials to be distributed in large organisms, and the ability for organisms to move to whatever degree. Locomotion is when organisms are capable of moving from one place to another. Anatomy is the study of internal and externals structures and the physical relationships among body parts. Physiology is the study of function and how organisms perform these functions. Macroscopic anatomy is the same thing as gross anatomy. It"s the study of structures and features that are large enough to be seen with the unaided eye.
