Hierarchy of Structures Within the

Human Body

• Subatomic Particles • Protons

• Neutrons

• Electrons

• Atoms

• Molecules• Carbohydrates

• Lipids

• Proteins

• Nucleic Acids

Hierarchy of Structures Within the

Human Body

• Subcellular Organelles• Small structures within the cell with specific functions

• Cells• Basic unit of structure and function

• Some function alone

• Others form tissues

Hierarchy of Structures Within the

Human Body

• Tissues• Cells alike in structure and function (specialized)

• Organs• Tissues that work together for a specific function

• Organ Systems• Organs that work together for a specific function

• Organism

Cell Parts:

Plasma Membrane

• Plasma membrane• Determines what enters and leaves the cell

• Composed mainly of a bilayer of phospholipids with proteins embedded

Cell Parts: Nucleus

• Nucleus• Nuclear membrane (envelope) separates the genetic material from the

cytoplasm

• Nucleolus makes ribosomal subunits

• DNA (chromatin)

Cell Parts: Cytoplasm

• Cytoplasm• Gel like

• Cytosol = liquid part• Holds and surrounds organelles

• Solutes

• Organelles• Structures within the cell with a particular function

Cell Parts: Organelles

• Centrosome

• Centrioles• cilia

• flagella

• Cytoskeleton• Microfilaments

• Intermediate filaments

• microtubules

Cell Parts: Organelles

• Ribosomes• Synthesize protein

• Endoplasmic Reticulum• Rough ER

• Smooth ET

• Transport Vesicles

• Golgi Complex (Apparatus, Body)

Cell Parts: Organelles

• Lysosomes• Recycle

• Peroxisomes

• Mitochondria• Cellular Respiration

• Break down glucose to form ATP

*Cell function depends on cell structure--- some cells have more of one type of organelle

Organ Systems

• Integumentary

• Skeletal

• Muscular

• Nervous

• Endocrine

• Cardiovascular

• Lymphatic

• Respiratory

• Digestive

• Urinary

• Reproductive

Skeletal System : Structures

• Bones• Hard calcified material

• Cartilage• Tough elastic connective tissue

• Tendons• Holds muscle to bone

• Ligaments• Holds bone to bone

Skeletal System: Functions

• Supports soft tissue and provides attachment for skeletal muscles

• Protects internal organs

• Assists in movement along with skeletal muscles

• Stores and releases minerals

• Contains red bone marrow, which produces blood cells

• Contains yellow marrow, which stores triglycerides

Bone Tissue

Bone cells

Classification of Bones

Bone Structure

Joints

• Fibrous Joints• No synovial cavity, bones are held together by dense irregular connective

tissue rich in collagen fibers

• Cartilaginous Joints• No synovial cavity, bones are held together by cartilage

• Synovial Joints• Synovial cavity is present, united by dense irregular connective tissue of an

articular capsule and assessor ligaments

• Articular cartilage

• Synovial fluid
