A. HIERARCHY OF HUMAN BODY ORGANIZATION
1. Complete the table below by sorting the given organizational levels of
the human body from smallest to largest and then providing a one –
sentence definition of each level in your own words based on your
understanding.
SMALLEST DEFINITION
Chemical At this level, atoms bond together in order to form
molecules. These molecules create the framework for
cellular structures
and chemical components that flow throughout our
body.
Cellular Molecules combine to form cells, which are the basic
unit of life. These contain structures such as the
nucleus and organelles that work together in order
to support bodily life
functions.
Tissue Tissues are a unified group of the same cell type.
Different
tissues such as epithelial, connective, muscle and
nervous can be found in groups all over the body.
Organ Organs are made up of a combination of tissue
types that
form a distinct structure that has a specific function.
Organ System An organ system is a group of organs that have
overlapping
or similar functions and they work together in

order to accomplish basic life functions that keep us
alive.

Organism An organism is the highest level of complexity of an
individual life form as it is now considered an
independent unit whose parts/organs and other
bodily components work together to
maintain life.

2. Make a summarization of the major similarity for what defines a tissue,
organs, and organ systems in one phrase.
In summary, all organ systems are made up of individual organs
with differing structures that work together in order to carry out
necessary life functions in order to keep the body alive, and these
organs are made up of a combination of tissues in order to form a
structure that can carry out a specific task as a part of its contribution
to the organ system entirely. Tissues, organs, and organ systems are
closely linked together in terms of function and structure, as we all
know that the structure and type of tissues the organ will contain is
what will define its function.
