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.
The 6 structural and functional organizations are the following: (a) chemical, (b) cellular,
(c) tissues, (d) organs, (e) organ-system, (f) organism. The chemical level pertains to the
smallest level of structural and functional organization composing of atoms, chemical
bonds, and molecules. The cellular level is the next one after the chemical level wherein it
comprises the cells (i.e. the basic unit of life) holding the different cellular organelles like
the nucleus, mitochondria, cytoplasm, etc. Then the next one is the tissues which refers to
the group of cells with similar structure and function also, extracellular substances they
release which have four broad types: epithelial, connective, muscular, and nervous. The
fourth structural and functional organizational level is the organ[s], meaning there are two
or more tissue types acting together to perform function such as the liver, heart, kidney,
and bladder. Then, the organ-system wherein it is already composing of a group of organs
contributing to some function for instance, the digestive system (i.e. in charge of digesting
food and converting molecules that are readily absorbable by the body) and urinary system
(i.e. functions to excrete wastes and reabsorb substances that are still useful for the body
like electrolytes & glucose). Finally, the last level is the organism (e.g. human being) where
all organ systems are working altogether which also includes associated microorganisms
such as intestinal bacteria.
