Based on your knowledge of structure– function relationships, explain the functional advantage of this structural feature. 2 Levels of Organization in the Body We now turn to how the body is structurally organized into a total functional unit, from the chemical level to the whole body (❯ Figure 1-2). These levels of organization make possible life as we know it. The chemical level: Various atoms and molecules make up the body. Like all matter, both living and nonliving, the human body is a combination of specific atoms, which are the smallest building blocks of matter.
Chapters 5, 6, and 7 are devoted to the nervous system. Specific hormones are introduced in appropriate chapters, such as hormonal control of the heart and blood vessels in maintaining blood pressure in Chapters 9 and 10 and hormonal control of the kidneys in maintaining fluid balance in Chapters 14 and 15. The body’s processing of absorbed energy-rich nutrient molecules is largely under endocrine control, providing a link from digestion (Chapter 16) and energy balance (Chapter 17) to the endocrine system (Chapters 18 and 19).
