Homeostasis - maintaining a stable internal environment within the body



Two sub disciplines of anatomy - Cell biology and histology



Two sub disciplines of physiology - exercise physiology and immunology



List the six levels of structural organization - 1) Chemical Level (atoms & molecules)

ex. DNA (deoxyribonucleic acid)

2) Cellular Level

ex. muscle cells

3) Tissue Level

ex. connective tissue

4) Organ Level

ex. heart

5) System Level

ex. Digestive System

List three components of a feedback loop - 1) receptor - monitors changes

Negative feedback loops - reverses a change in a controlled condition or negates original stimulus

Describe standard anatomical position. - -facing observer

-standing upright

-legs slightly apart
