LEVELS OF ORGANIZATION
This is the basic unit of the body.
Cell
This system brings in oxygen and removes carbon dioxide.
What is the respiratory system?
This tissue covers body surfaces.
What is epithelial tissue?
This cavity is located in the back of the body.
What is the dorsal cavity?
This term means “front of the body.”
What is anterior (ventral)?
This region is around the navel.
What is the umbilical region?
This is the study of body structure.
What is anatomy?
Groups of similar cells working together form this.
What is tissue?
This system transports oxygen and nutrients.
What is the circulatory system?
This tissue produces movement.
What is muscle tissue?
This cavity is located in the front of the body.
What is the ventral cavity?
This term means “below another structure.”
What is inferior?
This upper middle region is above the umbilical region.
What is the epigastric region?
This is the study of how the body works.
What is physiology?
Groups of tissues working together form this.
What is an organ?
This system produces hormones.
What is the endocrine system?
This tissue transmits messages.
What is nerve tissue?
This membrane reduces friction between bones in joints.
What is a synovial membrane?
This plane divides the body into right and left.
What is the sagittal plane?
These regions are located on either side of the epigastric region.
What are the hypochondriac regions?
This is the study of how disease occurs and how the body responds.
What is pathophysiology?
Groups of organs working together form this.
What is a system?
This system manages fluids and electrolytes.
What is the urinary system?
This tissue supports and connects body parts.
What is connective tissue?
This membrane surrounds the heart.
What is the pericardium?
This plane divides the body into front and back.
What is the frontal (coronal) plane?
These regions are located in the lower right and left abdomen.
What are the iliac (inguinal) regions?
This condition means excess tissue fluid and often causes swelling.
What is edema?
ut these in order: organ, system, tissue, cell.
What is cell → tissue → organ → system?
This system coordinates body functions.
What is the nervous system?
This type of connective tissue stores fat.
What is adipose tissue?
This muscle divides the ventral cavity.
What is the diaphragm?
This plane divides the body into equal right and left halves.
What is the midsagittal plane?
These regions are located on either side of the umbilical region.
What are the lumbar regions?
This condition means insufficient tissue fluid in the body.
What is dehydration?
