Respiration
Which property of living organism changes in activity based on stimulus?
Responsiveness
The basic functions performed by all living organisms includes?
Responsiveness Growth Reproduction Movement Metabolism; Anabolism, Catabolism Absorption Respiration Digestion Excretion
Physiology
Study of function and mechanisms
Anatomy
Study of structure. Derived from Greek to mean cut up or cut open. Examines relationship among body parts

Superficial
Dorsal
The back (posterior)
Posterior
The back;behind
Ventral
The belly side (anterior)
Anterior
The front; before

Tissue
Proximal
Toward an attached base (thigh is proximal to the foot)
Cranial
Toward the head

Water (66%) Proteins (20%) Lipids (10%) Carbohydrates (3%) Nucleic Acids
Homeostasis
maintaining a stable internal environment suitable for survival
Sagittal plane
separates right and left portions
Transverse plane
separates superior and inferior portions of the body
What is Anatomy?
the study of external and internal structures and the physical relationships between them
Medial
toward the midline (the longitudinal axis of the body)
Caudal
toward the tail ( hips are caudal to the waist)
What are the levels of organization from least to most complex?

Coronal Transverse Sagittal
Which property of living organism becomes specialized to perform a specific function?
Differentiation
Which property of living organism is the process of catabolism that makes nutrients small enough to be absorbed?
Digestion
Which property of living organism is for the removal of waste?
Excretion

The process of cellular specialization to perform certain functions is called?
differentiation
Coronal/Frontal plane
extends from side to side, dividing the body into anterior and posterior sections
