Anatomy Chapter 1

4. an organisms ability to produce new cells for growth, maintenance, and repair
5. study of structure or form
7. maintaining consistency internal environment, or "steady state," in response to the changing internal/external conditions
8. this level consists of groups of similar cells performing common functions
9. resulting action will always be in the opposite direction of the stimulus
11. this level consists of the smallest living structures
14. this level consists of two or more tissue types that work together to perform specific, complex functions
15. all organisms exhibit a complex structure and order
19. this level is the simplest level of organization, it involves atoms and molecules
20. body structure that detects changes in a variable
21. ability to sense and react to stimuli
22. this level consists of all body systems that function interdependently
23. sum of all chemical reactions that occur in the body

1. this level consists of related organs that work together to achieve a common function
2. during life, organisms often exhibit increased ______ and increased specialization as related to form and function _______.
3. membrane that lines the internal body wall surface
4. ability to adjust or direct internal bodily function in face of environmental changes
6. interprets input and initiates changes to the effector
10. a change in the variable
11. large molecules broken down into smaller molecules
12. brings about the change to alter the stimulus
13. stimulus is reinforced to continue in the same direction until a climactic event
16. small molecules join to form larger molecules
17. membrane that covers the external surface of the organs
18. study of function of the body parts
