Physiology: the study of function (how the parts work) Levels of structural organization: There is a hierarchy of structural complexity‚ beginning with the simplest or chemical level and culminating with the highest level-the whole organism Chemical level – atoms (and their parts)‚ and combinations of atoms called molecures Cellular level – cells are the basic structural and functional units of life. Tissue level – tissue are groups of similar cells (and their intercellular

Cell Respiration Respiration is the process by which organisms burn food to produce energy. The starting material of cellular respiration is the sugar glucose‚ which has energy stored in its chemical bonds. You can think of glucose as a kind of cellular piece of coal: chock-full of energy‚ but useless when you want to power a stereo. Just as burning coal produces heat and energy in the form of electricity‚ the chemical processes of respiration convert the energy in glucose into usable form. Adenosine

Tables of Normal Values (As of January 2013) Note: Values and units of measurement listed in these tables are derived from several resources. Substantial variation exists in the ranges quoted as “normal” and may vary depending on the assay used by different laboratories. Therefore‚ these tables should be considered as directional only. Some values (e.g. hormones) vary by gender‚ age‚ time of day and condition (e.g. pregnancy) so a text on endocrinology should be consulted for complete data

Cells are considered the basic units of life in part because they come in discrete and easily recognizable packages. That’s because all cells are surrounded by a structure called the cell membrane. The cell is the very smallest unit of living matter. All living things including plants and animals are made up of cells. Cells are made of atoms‚ which are the smallest units of matter. There are many different kinds of cells. The two kinds you are most likely to be familiar with are animal and plant

CELL THEORY – STEM CELLS Stem cells are a large focus of study in today’s biomedical world. “They are cells that exist in an undifferentiated state‚ and transform into differing tissue types depending on what the cells surrounding them are‚“ (National Institute of Health‚ 2012). Stem cells have the remarkable potential to develop into many different cell types in the body during early life and growth. In addition‚ they also serve as an internal repair mechanism inside many tissues‚ dividing without
