CHAPTER
1
Organization of the Body
he study of anatomy and physiology involves the structure and function of an organism and the relationship of its
Tparts. It starts with a basic organization of the body into different structural levels. Beginning with the smallest level
(the cell) and progressing to the largest, most complex level (the system), this chapter familiarizes you with the terminology
and the levels of organization needed to facilitate the study of the body in parts or as a whole.
It is also important to be able to identify and describe specifc body areas or regions as we progress in this feld. The
anatomical position is used as a reference when dissecting the body into planes, regions, or cavities. The terminology in
this chapter allows you to describe the areas effciently and accurately. It is important to have a basic understanding of
the structural levels of organization—the planes, regions, and cavities of the body—and to be familiar with the terminol-
ogy used to describe these areas before progressing on to the concept of homeostasis.
