Anatomy Basics

1.1) Levels of Structural Organization
The levels of structural organization are like building blocks, you start with the simplest and add them together to build up to something more complex.

Chemical: Atoms combined to form molecules
Cellular: Cells are made up of many molecules put together
Tissue: Tissues are made up of similar types of cells with common function
Organ: Different types of tissue combine to perform different functions
Organ Systems: Different organs working closely together
Organisms: All organ systems working together

1.2) 8 Necessary Life Functions & Survival Needs
1. Maintaining Boundaries: internal environment remains distinct from external boundaries
2. Movement: locomotion, peristalsis, and contractility …show more content…

Atoms- building blocks for each element
Atomic symbol- letter(s) chemical shorthand for element

Energy- the capacity to do work (put matter into motion) Kinetic Energy- energy in action Potential Energy- energy of position or stored (inactive) energy Chemical Energy- stored in the bonds of chemical substances Electrical Energy- results from the movement of charged particles Mechanical Energy- directly involved in moving matter Electromagnetic Energy- energy traveling in waves ex) uv light, xrays

2.2) Biochemistry (Diagram Sheet Attached)

• Carbohydrates contain Carbon, Hydrogen and Oxygen; their function is to supply food at a cellular level o Monosaccharides = simple …show more content…

They contain an amino group and a carboxyl group o Amino Group = NH2 o Carboxyl Group =
