Definitions
Anatomy – Deals with the structure of body parts – their forms and relationships.
Physiology – Deals with the functions of body parts – what they do and how they do it.
Dissection – The careful cutting apart of body parts to see their relationships.

Chemical Level
Atoms – smallest units of matter that participate in chemical reactions.
Molecules – two or more atoms joined together.
![Page 6: Anatomy & Physiology I Directional Terms Systems of the Body Dr. Michael P. Gillespie](https://reader036.vdocuments.site/reader036/viewer/2022062409/5697bffa1a28abf838cc05c1/html5/thumbnails/6.jpg)
Cellular Level
Molecules combine to form cells. Cells are the basic structural and functional
units of an organism. Cells are the smallest living units in the
human body. Cells are made up of organelles.
![Page 7: Anatomy & Physiology I Directional Terms Systems of the Body Dr. Michael P. Gillespie](https://reader036.vdocuments.site/reader036/viewer/2022062409/5697bffa1a28abf838cc05c1/html5/thumbnails/7.jpg)
Tissues
Tissues are groups of cells and the materials surrounding them that work together to perform a particular function.
4 basic types of tissues in the human body: Epithelial tissue Connective tissue Muscle tissue Nervous tissue

Organs
Composed of two or more tissues that work together to perform specific functions.
Usually have recognizable shapes.
![Page 9: Anatomy & Physiology I Directional Terms Systems of the Body Dr. Michael P. Gillespie](https://reader036.vdocuments.site/reader036/viewer/2022062409/5697bffa1a28abf838cc05c1/html5/thumbnails/9.jpg)
System Level
A system consists of related organs that have a common function.
Sometimes an organ is part of more than one system.
There are eleven systems in the human body.

Growth
Growth is an increase in body size that results from an increase in the size of existing cells, the number of cells, or both.
A tissue can increase in size due to an increase in the amount of material between cells (I.e. bone tissue).
![Page 28: Anatomy & Physiology I Directional Terms Systems of the Body Dr. Michael P. Gillespie](https://reader036.vdocuments.site/reader036/viewer/2022062409/5697bffa1a28abf838cc05c1/html5/thumbnails/28.jpg)

Differentiation is a process a cell undergoes to develop from an unspecialized to a specialized state.
Each type of cell has a specialized structure and function.
Stem cells can divide and give rise to progeny that undergo differentiation.
