I. INTRODUCTION
The human body consists of different organs that work together to carry out human
activities and sustain life. An understanding of its anatomy and physiology is important to
have an understanding of how it carries out the important processes needed for survival
and reproduction.

II. GIVE THE 6 STRUCTURAL AND FUNCTIONAL ORGANIZATIONS THAT MAKEUP AN

ORGANISM. BRIEFLY DESCRIBE EACH.
• Chemical- refers to the smallest level.
• Cellular- cells: the basic unit of life made up of organelles like mitochondria.
• Tissues- are group of cells with similar structure and function such as epithelial
tissue.
• Organs- two or more tissues working to perform an action example of this is the
heart.
• Organ system- a group of organs with different structure and function working to
perform a function such as digestive system.
• Organism- All organs acting together.

III. ANATOMY OF THE HUMAN BODY
