Lecture outline
This section of Biology, called "Body Systems", examines the structure, layout, and function of human tissues, organs, and systems.
Levels of structure:
This section of Biology, called "Body Systems", examines the structure, layout, and function of human tissues, organs, and systems.
Levels of structure:
- Atoms bond together to form molecules
- Molecules assemble to form cells (you have trillions of cells in your body)
- Similar-functioning cells group together to form tissues (you have about 200 different tissues in your body)
- Tissues group together to form organs (heart, lungs, pancreas)
- Organs function together as organ systems (the heart, blood, and blood vessels make up the circulatory system)
- Organ systems make up the organism (humans, fruit flies, seaweed, dolphins

Digestive System lab
We test the "digestion" of various foods in hydrochloric acid (to simulate the stomach) and a variety of enzymes (to simulate the small intestine), observe and compare the results.
