Essential Understandings for the human body:
The human body is a single structure but it is made up of billions of smaller structures of four major kinds: cells, tissues, organs, and systems. The average human body is composed of over 35 trillion human cells.
An organ is an organization of several different kinds of tissues so arranged that together they can perform a special function.
A system is an organization of varying numbers and kinds of organs so arranged that together they can perform complex functions for the body.
Ten major systems include the skeletal (support and shape), muscular (movement), nervous (communication through electricity), endocrine (communication through chemical hormones), cardiovascular (transportation of oxygen, food and other materials), lymphatic (defense & maintains fluid levels), respiratory (intakes oxygen for the blood and removes carbon dioxide), digestive (breaks down food), urinary (removes waste from the blood), and the reproductive system.
Body functions are the physiological or psychological functions of body systems. Survival of the body depends on the body's maintaining or restoring homeostasis, a state of relative constancy, of its internal environment.
Human life process includes organization, metabolism, responsiveness, movements, reproduction, growth, differentiation, respiration, digestion, and excretion. All these processes work together, in fine-tuned balance, for the well-being of the individual and to maintain life.

GBS Anatomy & Physiology
GBS Anatomy & Physiology
GetBodySmart represents an attempt to create a fully animated and interactive eBook about human anatomy and physiology. The contents and design of this long-term project were made based on years of experience in teaching Anatomy & Physiology. We invite all interested teachers, students, healthcare professions, and others to use the free tutorials and quizzes in GetBodySmart to help explain the body’s complex physiological interactions and illustrate its important anatomical landmarks. GetBodySmart was started in 2000 by Scott Sheffield, who created those beautiful illustrations and animations together with simple and clear explanations.
