Explain how anatomy and physiology are related.
|
Anatomy (structure) determines physiology (function).
|
|
Levels of Structural organization in the human body
|
chemical
cellular tissue organ organ system organism |
|
Respiratory System
|
transfers oxygen to the blood and removes carbon dioxide--

|
integumentary system
|
waterproofs the body, dynthesizes vitamin D, detects pressure, pain, temp, maintains temperature, protects internal organs---
skin |
|
skeletal system
