anatomy
The study of the structure of the body and the relationships between its parts (what body parts look like and where they are located).
Describe the relationship between cells, tissues and organs.
Cells are the basic structural and functional units of life. Tissues are groups of similar cells. Organs are structures made of two or more different types of tissues
What is the excretory system?
purifies the body by eliminating waste matter
Physiology
The study of function—how the body and its parts work to carry out life processes.
Describe the Cytoplasm.
Jelly-like fluid inside the cell, Holds cell structures in place, Where many cell activities occur
What is the respiratory system and what is involved?
supplies the body with oxygen while eliminating carbon dioxide as a waste product

Urea

Why do estheticians study cells
Life does not exist without cells.. We need these cells to treat with things like lasers and skincare and other treatments
Understand the skin barrier
Understand how actives and other treatments will react with the skin surface
Helps us to recognize disorders (and what we can/ cannot treat)
Wound repair system (how quickly we can rejuvenate and how often we can do treatments)

Define Homeostasis
the body's natural, automatic process of maintaining a stable, balanced internal environment, even when external conditions change. It regulates critical variables like temperature, pH (acid base), blood sugar, and electrolytes (sodium and potassium) to ensure optimal cell function and survival.
