What are the levels of human structures? And explain them.
- Organism (completely individual, can function on it’s own)
- Organ systems (A group of organs that do specific functions)
- Organs (composed of two or more tissue types)
- Tissues (A mass of similar cells that work together to do a specific function)
- Cells (Smallest living unit)
- Organelles (Small structures in a cell that carry out specific functions in the cell)
- Molecules (Particles of at least 2 atoms that are chemically bonded)
- Atoms ( you know this already on the slides though)
What does the Retroperitoneal mean?
outside the peritoneum, which is covered by peritoneum on the one side facing the peritoneal cavity
What are the Retroperitoneal organs?
kidneys, ureters, adrenal glands, most of the pancreas, and the abdominal aorta and inferior vena cava
What is the function of the Skeletal system
Support, movement, mineral storage,
What is the function of the Muscular system
movement, stability, heat production, communication
What is the function of the Nervous system
motor control, rapid internal communication, motor control
What is the function of the Endocrine system
hormone production
What is the function of the Circulatory system
distributes nutrients
What is the function of the Lymphatic system
detection of pathogens, production of immune cells
What is the function of the Respiratory system
absorbs oxygen and gets rid of CO2
What is the function of the Digestive system
nutrients breakdown and absorption, metabolism
What is the function of the Urinary system
elimination of waste, regulation of blood volume and pressure
What is the function of the Integumentary system
Protection, water retention, produce vitamin D, thermoregulation
What is the function of the reproductive system
reproductive roles like producing sperm and eggs and stuff like that

Contains most of the digestive organs
Spleen, kidneys, and ureters
What organs do the pelvic cavity contain?
distal large intestine, urinary bladder, urethra, and reproductive organs
What are the three serous membranes?
Peritoneum, Pleura, Pericardium
Where is the serous membrane Peritoneum located?
In the abdominal cavity
Where is the serous membrane Pleura located?

Define the Scanning electron microscope (SEM)
- Has less resolution but produces 3-D images
- Does not see through the object but can view only the surface of the specimen
Define the Light microscope (LM)
Limited to magnification you can see color but cannot see the plasma membrane
Define the Transmission electron microscope (TEM)
- High resolution
Slices the specimen and cannot reuse the specimen
