Document Summary

Anatomy: the science of structure and the relationships among structures. Physiology: the science of body function: 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 collectionof atoms that are held together by chemical bonds: chemical level- dna, cellular level- smooth muscle cells, tissue level- smooth muscle tissue, organ level- stomach, system level-digestive system, organismal level- human. * raw materials that make up the body. * oxygen, water to enable various metabolic processes. Ecology: is the study of the interactions between organisms and between organisms and the environment. Including interactions between the living and the nonliving components of a defined area. Food provides our bodies with important biological macromolecules-sources of raw materials and energy. Atoms: hydrogen atom, oxygen atom, carbon atoms, ect. Molecules: groups of atoms ie, water molecules, glycogen molecule, etc.
