Structural Organization of Matter
1. Chemical Level
a. Atoms
(Proton, Neutron, electrons)
b. Molecules
(Two or more atoms joined
together by either covalent or
ionic bonds)

organic molecules in the
human body
a. Proteins which are made
from 20 different Amino
Acids
Structural Organization of Matter
Four Biologically-Important
Organic molecules:
b. Complex Carbohydrates
made from simple sugars

acids and glycerol
2. Cells
(Smallest structural and
functional units of the human
body)

3. Tissues
(group of cells and the
materials surrounding them
that work together to
perform a particular
function)
4. Organs
(composed of two or more
tissues work together to
provide specific functions and
they usually have specific
shapes)

5. Organ systems
(consist of one or more
organs that provide a
common function) Examples

Basic Life Processes
1. Metabolism
Sum of all biochemical
processes of cells, tissues,
organs, and organ systems
2. Responsiveness
Ability to detect and respond to
changes in the internal and
external environment
3. Movement
Occurs at the intracellular,
cellular, organ levels
Basic Life Processes
4. Growth
Increase in number of cells, size of cells,
tissues, organs, and the body. Single cell
to multicellular complex organism
5. Differentiation
Process a cell undergoes to develop from a
unspecialized to a specialized cell
6. Reproduction
Formation of new cells for growth, repair,
or replacement, or the production of a
new individual.
Basic Life Processes
 Homeostasis
Equilibrium of the bodys internal
environment produced by the
interaction of organ systems and
regulatory processes (feedback
systems).
Homeostasis is a dynamic condition in
response to changing conditions.
The two body systems that largely
control the bodys homeostatic state:
1. Nervous system
2. Endocrine system
Control of Homeostasis
 Homeostasis is continually being disrupted by
 external stimuli
 intense heat, cold , and lack of oxygen
 internal stimuli
 psychological stresses
 exercise
 Disruptions are usually mild & temporary
 If homeostasis is not maintained, death may result
CONTROL OF HOMEOSTASIS
 Homeostatic imbalances occur because of disruptions
from the external or internal environments.
 Homeostasis is regulated by the nervous system and
endocrine system, acting together or independently.
 The nervous system detects changes and sends nerve
impulses to counteract the disruption.
 The endocrine system regulates homeostasis by
secreting hormones.
 Whereas nerve impulses cause rapid changes, hormones
usually work more slowly.
 Examples: CO2, O2, temperature, pH, blood pressure,
Example of Homeostasis
Fluid balance in the Body
 Compartments
for Body Fluids
1. Intracellular
2. Extracellular
a. Interstitial
b. Plasma
Components of Feedback Loop
 Receptor
 monitors a controlled condition
 Control center
 determines next action
 Effector
 receives directions from the control
center
 produces a response that changes the
controlled condition
Basic Components

Feedback System
Basic Components of
a Positive Feedback
System
Homeostatic Imbalances
 Disruption of homeostasis can lead to disease and death.
 Disorder is a general term for any change or abnormality
of function.
 Disease is a more specific term for an illness characterized
by a recognizable set of signs and symptoms.
 A local disease is one that affects one part or a limited
region of the body.
 A systemic disease affects either the entire body or
several parts.
Homeostatic Imbalances
 Disease is a more specific term for an illness characterized
by a recognizable set of signs and symptoms.
 Signs are objective changes that a clinician can observe
and measure; e.g., fever or rash.
 Symptoms are subjective changes in body functions
that are not apparent to an observer; e.g., headache or
nausea.
 Diagnosis is the art of distinguishing one disease from
another or determining the nature of a disease; a diagnosis
is generally arrived at after the taking of a medical history
and the administration of a physical examination.
Anatomical Position
 The anatomical position is a standardized
method of observing or imaging the body
that allows precise and consistent
anatomical references.
 When in the anatomical position, the subject
stands (Figure 1.5).
 standing upright
 facing the observer, head level
 eyes facing forward
 feet flat on the floor
 arms at the sides
 palms turned forward (ventral)

 If the body is lying face down, it is in the prone position.
 If the body is lying face up, it is in the supine position.
