  • Levels of Biological Organization

    Order from smallest to largest: Chemical, Cellular, Tissue, Organ, Organ System, Organism.

  • Integumentary System - Major Organs & Functions

    Includes skin, hair, nails. Protects from friction and pathogens.

  • Skeletal System - Major Organs & Functions

    Includes bones and cartilage. Provides structure, support, and protects internal organs.

  • Muscular System - Major Organs & Functions

    Includes skeletal muscles. Responsible for movement and posture.

  • Nervous System - Major Organs & Functions

    Includes brain, spinal cord, nerves. Enables communication via electrical signals.

  • Endocrine System - Major Organs & Functions

    Includes thyroid, pituitary, adrenal glands. Provides slow communication using hormones.

  • Circulatory System - Major Organs & Functions

    Includes heart, blood vessels, blood. Transports oxygen, nutrients, waste, and hormones.

  • Homeostasis

    Process by which the body maintains stable internal conditions.

  • Catabolism

    Breaks down complex molecules into simpler ones, releasing energy.

  • Anabolism

    Builds complex molecules from simpler ones, requiring energy.

  • Hypotonic Solution Effect on Cell

    Lower solute concentration outside cell → water moves in → cell swells.

  • Hypertonic Solution Effect on Cell

    Higher solute concentration outside cell → water moves out → cell shrinks.

  • Isotonic Solution Effect on Cell

    Same solute concentration inside and outside → no net water movement.

  • Diffusion

    Movement of molecules from higher to lower concentration.

  • Osmosis

    Diffusion of water across a selectively permeable membrane.

  • Phagocytosis

    "Cell eating" — engulfs large particles or solids.

  • Rough Endoplasmic Reticulum (RER)

    Has ribosomes on surface; synthesizes proteins.

  • Smooth Endoplasmic Reticulum (SER)

    Lacks ribosomes; involved in lipid synthesis, detoxification, and calcium storage.

  • Golgi Apparatus

    Stack of flattened sacs; modifies and packages proteins and lipids.

  • Mitochondria

    Generates ATP through cellular respiration; known as the "powerhouse" of the cell.

  • Nucleus

    Control center of the cell; contains genetic material.

  • Microvilli

    Tiny finger-like projections that increase surface area for absorption.

  • Cilia

    Short hair-like projections that move in coordinated waves to move substances.

  • Directional Term: Superior

    Toward the head or above.

  • Directional Term: Inferior

    Toward the feet or below.

  • Sagittal Plane

    Divides the body into left and right parts.

  • Coronal (Frontal) Plane

    Divides the body into front and back parts.

  • Transverse (Horizontal) Plane

    Divides the body into upper and lower parts.
