Front 1

chemical
cellular
tissue
organ
system
organismal

Back 1

6 levels of structural organization

Front 2

chemical level

Back 2

atoms
(the smallest unit of matter that participate in chemical reactions)
and
molecules
(two or more atoms joined together)

Front 3

cellular level

Back 3

the basic structural and functional unit of an organism
smallest living unit in the human body

Front 4

tissue level

Back 4

groups of cells and the materials surrounding them that work together to perform a particular function
there are 4 basis types

Front 5

organ level

Back 5

structures that are composed of two or more different types of tissues;
have specific functions
usually have recognizable shapes

Front 6

system level

Back 6

consists of related organs with a common function

Front 7

organismal level

Back 7

largest organizational level

any living individual
all parts of the human body functioning together constitute the organism

Front 8

non-invasive diagnostic techniques

Back 8

used to assess certain aspects of body structure and function
1- inspection
2- palpation
3- auscultation
4- percussion

Front 9

inspection

Back 9

non-invasived diagnostic technique
examiner observes for any changes that deviate from normal

Front 10

palpation

palp=gently touching

Back 10

non-invasived diagnostic technique
examiner feels body surface with hands

Front 11

auscultation

auscult=listening

Back 11

non-invasived diagnostic technique
examiner listens to body sounds to evaluate
often uses a stethoscope to amplify sounds

Front 12

percussion

percus=beat through

Back 12

non-invasived diagnostic technique
examiner taps on the body surface with the fingertips and listens to the resulting echo

Front 13

epithelial tissue
connective tissue
muscular tissue
nervous tissue

Back 13

four basic types of tissue
