ANATOMY
examines the structures of the body.
PHYSIOLOGY
considers the function of the structures.
CELL THEORY:
- All living things are made up of cells.
- Cells are the basic unit of structure/function.
- All cells come from pre-existing cells.
What are the levels of organization ?
Cell, tissue , organ, organ system , organism
Cell
white blood cells (leukocyte), nerve cells, muscle cells, red blood cells (erythrocyte), neurons
Tissue
- epithelial-covering/lining, 2. connective-support, 3. muscular-movement, 4. nervous-control
ORGAN
skin, heart, kidney, lungs, gallbladder, spleen
ORGAN SYSTEM:
respiratory, digestive, endocrine, skeletal, circulatory
ORGANISM

CHARACTERISTICS OF A LIVING THING:
- MOVE: willful change in body position; function of internal organs
- GROW: increase in body size w/o change in body shape
- REPRODUCE: produce new cells/organisms
- RESPONSIVENESS: react to external stimuli
- PERFORM CHEMICAL ACTIVITIES: digestion, excretion, respiration, absorption, circulation, assimilation

- MONERA: single-cell organisms like bacterium, spirillum, bacillus, strep
- PROTISTA: single-cell organisms like amoeba, euglena, protozoa, some algae/molds
MEMBRANES:
- VISCERAL [ORGAN]: covers a vital organ, ex. visceral pleura or visceral pericardium
- PARIETAL [WALL/CAVITY]: lines a cavity, ex. parietal pleura or parietal pericardium
- SEROUS FLUID: present in all cavities (name remains unchanged)
