Levels of OrganizationLevels of Organization1.The chemical level= atoms (smallest unit of matter)-> forms molecules
2.Molecules combine to form the cellular level
What are cells?
3. Groups of similar cells= tissue level
4. Different types of tissues join together= organ level; have 2 or more diff tissue & have specific functions
5. Groups of related organs that have a common function= organ system
6. All systems of body combines to form=organismal level
How Body Systems Work TogetherHow Body Systems Work Together
The 11 body systems work together to maintain The 11 body systems work together to maintain health, protect one from disease, and allow for health, protect one from disease, and allow for the reproduction of the speciesthe reproduction of the species– integumentary integumentary nervousnervous skeletalskeletal– endocrineendocrine muscularmuscular cardiovascularcardiovascular– lymphatic & immunelymphatic & immune digestivedigestive respiratoryrespiratory– urinaryurinary reproductivereproductive
The integumentary system, for example protects The integumentary system, for example protects all systems by serving as a barrier between he all systems by serving as a barrier between he outside environment and internal tissues and outside environment and internal tissues and organsorgans

Overview of Homeostasis:Feedback LoopOverview of Homeostasis:Feedback Loop
Components of a feedback system
A receptor is a body structure that monitors changes in a controlled condition: ex. Skin
The receptor sends input= nerve impulses to control center
The control center usually the Brain has the range (set point) of values within a controlled condition; it receives input & generates commands=output to the effector.
The effector receives the output and produces a response=effect that changes the controlled condition. Ex. Nearly every organ
Negative vs. Positive FeedbackNegative vs. Positive Feedback A A negative feedbacknegative feedback system reverses a system reverses a
change in a controlled condition in order to change in a controlled condition in order to maintain homeostasis.maintain homeostasis.
A A positive feedbackpositive feedback system system reinforces/increases the initial change in reinforces/increases the initial change in the controlled condition.the controlled condition.– This occurs in blood clotting and birth of a babyThis occurs in blood clotting and birth of a baby

The components of a FB system are a The components of a FB system are a control center, a receptor, and a effectorcontrol center, a receptor, and a effector
Blood pressure and negative feedback
Blood pressure is the force of blood as it passes through the vessels. BP depends on the rate and strength of the heartbeat. If the heart beats faster, more blood pushes into the arteries & elevates pressure.
If the heart beats faster, more blood pushes into the arteries &elevates pressure.
1. Stimulus causes an increase in BP
2. Receptors in the walls of certain blood vessels detect the BP↑ and sends nerve impulses to brain
3. The brain (control center) interprets inputs and sends nerve impulses to the heart
4. The heart (effector) decreases heart rate and thus ↓BP
More Negative FeedbackMore Negative Feedback
In negative FB the body responds to a In negative FB the body responds to a change in such a way as to reverse the change in such a way as to reverse the direction of the changedirection of the change– Ex.

They can be due to genetic disorders They can be due to genetic disorders (Hemophilia), chromosomal disorders (Down’s (Hemophilia), chromosomal disorders (Down’s syndrome), or the failure of the fetus to develop syndrome), or the failure of the fetus to develop properly (Spina bifida, cleft palate). properly (Spina bifida, cleft palate).
The individuals shown suffer from agenetic disorder known as Xerodermapigmentosum. This disease affects the skin and renders the individuals withoutany protection from UV light. Their skinliterally burns when exposed to anylight source that emits UV radiation, even from light bulbs.
Immunological DiseaseImmunological Disease• Immunological diseases are caused Immunological diseases are caused
by foreign organisms (pathogens) or by foreign organisms (pathogens) or agents (allergens, poisons) that enter agents (allergens, poisons) that enter the body and cause disease. the body and cause disease.

The individual above is suffering from the viral disease small pox. Small pox scars, blinds, maims, and often kills those it infects. It has been eradicated from the human population by vaccination. However, scientists are worried that it may re-emerge due to globalization, war, and terrorism.

The British actor Marty Feldman’s “unique” eyes were due to the fact he suffered from Grave’s disease. Unfortunately this disease also led to his death at an early age from a heart attack.

In England during 1800’s there lived a man by the name of Joseph Merrick who suffered from a disease called Proteus syndrome. This disease resulted in the abnormal growth of theconnective tissues (cartilage and bone) on the right side of his body. He was so grotesquely disfigured by the disease, that his appearance frightened the public. He often wore a hood over his head when in public and was referred to as the “Elephant Man”.
