Document Summary

1. 1 levels of structural organization of the human body. Anatomy: the science of structure and the relationship among structures. Structure of a part determines how it will function. Histology: the science of the microscopic structure of biological material. Ways in which individual components are structurally and functionally related. The human body is a collection of atoms that held together by chemical bonds. Bodies are highly organized: because they are constructed from atoms, atoms interact to form molecules, the precise molecular structure is the foundation upon which the body is organized. Smallest living units in the human body: organelles- structural components with specific functions within cells (mitochondria) Dna- deoxyribonucleic acid is a molecule that carries most of the genetic instruction used in the development, functioning and reproduction of all known living organisms. Endomembrane system includes: endoplasmic reticulum, golgi apparatus, vesicles, plasma membrane, nuclear envelope. Er-endoplasmic reticulum connected network of membranous channels and vesicle.
