NATS 1610 Lecture Notes - Lecture 2: Histology, Glycogen
Document Summary
Lecture 2 : the organization of the body. The science of structure and the relationship among structures. How individual components are structurally and functionally related. Organization of the human body- collection of atoms held together by chemical bonds. Raw materials and energy build and maintain the human body. Raw materials used to form our body: oxygen, glucose, hydrogen, etc. Body needs energy or our living body will decompose (lose shape) Body gets energy from atp and food we eat. The human body is a collection of atoms that are held together by chemical bonds. Precise interactions form precise structures (foundation upon how the body is organized) Molecules interact to form cellular structures and cells. 2)during embryonic development; to form cells and body. To add new molecules to cells and body during growth. To replenish previously existing molecules that are lost used up, or destroyed: food also provides energy.
