The study of the structure and organization of the body parts.

The study of how the body parts function and work together.

The body's ability to maintain a stable internal environment despite external changes.

What are the levels of structural organization in the human body?

Chemical -> Cellular -> Tissue -> Organ -> Organ System -> Organism.

Define the anatomical position?

Standing upright, facing forward, arms at the sides with palms facing forward.

What are the three main body planes?

Sagittal, Coronal, (frontal), and transverse (horizontal)

What is the difference between superior and inferior?

Superior = above; Inferior = below

What are the four main types of tissue?

Epithelial, Connective, Muscle, and Nervous.

What is the epithelial tissue responsible for?

Covering surfaces, lining cavities, and forming glands.

What are the five main functions of the skeletal system?

Support, protection, movement, storage of minerals, and blood cell formation.

What is the structural unit of compact bone called?

The osteon or Haversian system.

What is the main function of the muscular system?

To produce movement, maintain posture, and generate heat.

What is the difference between voluntary and involuntary muscles?

Voluntary muscles (like skeletal) are under conscious control; involuntary (like cardiac and smooth) are not.

Where are the smallest bones in the body located?

Ears (auditory ossicles: malleus, incus, stapes)
