| Anatomy | the science dealing with the structure of animals and plants. |
| Physiology | the branch of biology dealing with the functions and activities of living organisms and their parts, including all physical and chemical processes. |
| Tissue | an aggregate of similar cells and cell products forming a definite kind of structural material with a specific function, in a multicellular organism. |
| Organ | a grouping of tissues into a distinct structure, as a heart or kidney in animals or a leaf or stamen in plants, that performs a specialized task. |
| Organ System | A group of organs that work together to carry out a particular task. |
| Organism | a form of life composed of mutually interdependent parts that maintain various vital processes. |
| Metabolism | the sum of the physical and chemical processes in an organism by which its material substance is produced, maintained, and destroyed, and by which energy is made available. |
| Homeostasis | the tendency of a system, especially the physiological system of higher animals, to maintain internal stability, owing to the coordinated response of its parts to any situation or stimulus that would tend to disturb its normal condition or function. |
