  • What is anatomy?

    Anatomy is the study of the structure of the body and all its parts.

  • What is microscopic anatomy?

    Microscopic anatomy studies structures too small to see without a microscope.

  • Define cytology.

    Cytology is the study of cells.

  • Define histology.

    Histology is the study of tissues.

  • What is macroscopic (gross) anatomy?

    Macroscopic anatomy studies structures visible without a microscope, such as bones, muscles, and organs.

  • What is physiology?

    Physiology is the study of body parts and their functions.

  • Define metabolism.

    Metabolism includes all chemical reactions occurring in the body.

  • What is anabolism?

    Anabolism is building larger molecules from smaller ones, such as building proteins.

  • What is catabolism?

    Catabolism is breaking down larger molecules into smaller ones, like breaking down food for energy.

  • Define growth in biological terms.

    Growth is an increase in body size or number/size of cells.

  • What is development?

    Development refers to changes throughout life as the body becomes more complex or mature.

  • What is a cell?

    A cell is the smallest living unit of the body.

  • Define tissue.

    Tissue is a group of similar cells working together.

  • What is an organ?

    An organ is a structure made of two or more tissue types working together, like the heart.

  • Define an organ system.

    An organ system is a group of organs working together, such as the digestive system.

  • List the biological organization from tissue to organism.

    Tissue, organ, organ system, organism.

  • Are viruses considered living organisms?

    Viruses are generally not considered living because they cannot reproduce or carry out metabolism independently.
