Explain the interaction between structure and function in the human body

Structure determine function; the shape of the body parts dictates how it works

List the levels of organization of the body

1. Chemical level (atoms/molecules) 2. Cellular level (cells) 3. Tissue level (groups of similar cells) 4. Organ level (tissues forming organs) 5. Organ system level (organs working together) 6. Organismal level (the whole body)

Identify the primary function of the digestive system.

Breaks down food into nutrients for absorption, energy, growth, and repair.

Name the three primary body planes.

1. Sagittal plane - left and right portions 2. Frontal (coronal) plane - front and back portions 3. Transverse (horizontal) plane - top and bottom portions

Describe the molecular structure of the cell membrane.

Phospholipid bilayer with embedded proteins, cholesterol, and carbohydrates. Controls what enters/exits the cell and communicates with other cells.

Distinguish between the bones of the skull and the face.

Skull bones: cranium (protect brain, e.g., frontal, parietal) mandible) • Facial bones: support eyes, nose, mouth (e.g., maxilla,

Name the two main body cavities and give examples of organs in each.

Dorsal cavity: Cranial cavity (brain), Vertebral cavity (spinal cord) • Ventral cavity: Thoracic cavity (heart, lungs), Abdominopelvic cavity (stomach, liver, intestines, bladder, reproductive organs)

What is the role of the cytoskeleton?

Provides structural support, maintains cell shape, facilitates intracellular transport, and aids movement.

Name the three main layer of the skin

Epidermis - protective outer layer 2. Dermis - blood vessels, nerves, hair follicles, glands 3. Hypodermis - fat storage and connection to underlying structures
