A subcategory of Human Anatomy.
Structures you can see with the help of a scientific instrument.
Microscopic Anatomy
A subcategory of Human Anatomy.
Study of the function of living things.
Physiology
Smallest unit of matter is an atom. 2 or more atoms form a molecule or chemical.
Chemical
H+Cl=HCl


H= Hydrogen
Cl= Chloride
HCl= Hydrocloric Acid
Cells are basic unit of life. A group of molecules forms a cells.
Cellular/Cells
Example:
*Sperm
*Muscle Cell
*Heart Cells
A group of cells and their materials that surround them.
Tissue
There are 4 types:
*Connective
*Epithelium
*Muscle
*Nervous
A group of tissues to form a common body structure.
Organ
Example:
*Heart
*Liver
*Lung
*Stomach
Group of organs that perform a common function.

Differentiation
Characteristics of Life
Ex:
*Stem Cells
Either:
*Formation of new cells for growth, repair, or replacement.
OR
*Productions of a new individual.
Reproduction
Maintenance of relatively stable condition.
Homeostasis
Ex:
*Body Temperature
Monitors change and sends information= input.
Receptor
One of the 3 Feedback Loops
Evaluates the input and sends a message if needed= output.
Control Center
One of the 3 Feedback Loops
Receives output and produces a response.
Effectors
One of the 3 Feedback Loops
Strengthens or enhances the change.
Positive Feedback Loop
This is the most common, reverses or eliminates the stimulus that creates the change.
Negative Feedback Loop
Abnormality of structure and/or function.
