Chapter 14.1
An introduction to Physiology
A. Introduction
Your body has levels of
organization.
Cells smallest unit
Tissues
Organs
Organ systems largest unit
B. Cells
Cells (def) the basic unit of
structure and function in all
living things.
Animal
cell
B. Cells
Cell membrane (def) the outer
boundary on an animal cell
Cell
membrane
B. Cells
Nucleus (def) the control center of
the cell that directs the cells activities
Contains information that determines
the cells form and function in the
form of DNA
Cell membrane
Nucleu
s
B. Cells
Cytoplasm (def) the clear, jellylike
substance that supports cells organelles
Cell membrane
Nucleus
Cytoplas
m
B. Cells
Function to carry out the
processes that keep organisms alive
Grow
Reproduce
Remove waste
Release energy
C. Tissues
Epithelial
tissue
Nervous
tissue
Connective
tissue
C. Tissues
Muscle tissue
Function carries out movement
Examples triceps, biceps, and heart
C. Tissues
Nervous tissue
Function carries electrical messages
between the brain and other parts of
body
Examples brain cells, nerve cells
C. Tissues
Connective tissue
Function provides support for
your body and connects all its parts
Examples bone tissue, fat tissue
C. Tissues
Epithelial tissue
Function inside and outside coverings
that protect the structures beneath
Examples skin, lining of digestive system

1. How many levels of organization does
the body have and what are they?
2. What is the function of the nucleus?
3. What is the job of muscle tissue?
4. How many different Tissues are there
and what are they?
5. What is the role of the cell and what
are the basic examples?
Endocrine system
function controls
many body process
by means of
chemicals
Muscular system
function enables
movement of body
and internal organs
E. Homeostasis
E. Homeostasis
Maintaining homeostasis
example
Your body wants to stay
close to 98.6F or 37 C.
If you get too hot you will
sweat to cool your body.
If you get too cold you
shiver.
