Document Summary

Anatomy is the science od body structures and the relationships amount structures, physiology is the study of body functions. The human body consists of six levels of structural organization: chemical. Cells are the basic structural and functional units of an organism and the smallest living units in the human body (atoms and molecules) Organs are composed of two or more different types of tissue, they have specific functions ands usually have recognizable shapes. Systems consist of related organs that have a common function: example is the digestive system. The organismal level contains all the parts of an organism (the human body) Integumentary system: includes the skin and serves to protect the body, helps regulates temperature, eliminates waste and detects sensations. Skeletal system: includes the bones and joints, supports the body. Muscular system: specifically refers to the skeletal muscle tissue, participates in bringing about movements such as walking. Cardiovascular: includes the blood and heart, carries blood and oxygen to your extremities.
