Key Course Themes • 1. Form and Function Examples? • 2. Maintenance of Homeostasis Example?

What is A and P • Anatomy: the study of the structure and shape of the body and body parts • Physiology: the study of how the body and it parts function

Levels of Organization • Atoms molecules cells • Cells tissues organs • Organs organ systems organism • Organism population ecosystem

Assignment • Group Work: For Each Function: See Figure 1. 4 1. For each life function give a specific example of how that function contributes to the ongoing maintenance of homeostasis of one specific set point (variable). Example:
