BIO 167 Lecture Notes - Lecture 1: Nasal Cavity, Catabolism, Skeleton
Document Summary
Studies the structure of body parts and their relationships to one another. Gross or macroscopic (e. g. , regional, systemic, and surface anatomy) Physiology: science of the functions of a living organism. Science of the functions of a living organism. Subdivisions based on organ systems (e. g. , renal or cardiovascular physiology) Often focuses on cellular and molecular level. Body"s abilities depend on chemical reactions in individual cells. Organ level: contains 2 or more types of tissue. System level: organs that work closely together. Maintaining boundaries between internal and external environments. Ability to sense and respond to stimuli. All chemical reactions that occur in body cells. Removal of wastes from metabolism and digestion. Growth: increase in the size of a body part or of an organism. Appropriate amounts necessary for life survival needs. Skeletal system- protects and supports body organs and provides framework the muscles use to move, blood cells within bones, bones store minerals.
