GROUP 2

STRUCTURAL ORGANIZATION
OF THE BODY

1. CHEMICAL LEVEL
Atoms combine to form molecules.
E.g. The element oxygen (O) is made of O atoms,
carbon (C) is made of C atoms.

2. CELLULAR LEVEL
Known as the most fundamental level of organization
and the smallest unit capable of self-reproduction, it
plays a vital role in making our organs function properly.
E.g. A human cell, such as a smooth muscle cell.

3.TISSUE LEVEL
A group of similar cells that work together to
perform a specific function.
E.g. When many smooth muscle cells come together both
structurally and functionally, these cell collectively form a
layer of smooth muscle tissue.

4. ORGAN LEVEL
Organs are made up of different types of
tissues.
E.g. The human bladder, which is composed of smooth muscle
tissue and several types of connective tissue.

5. ORGAN SYSTEM LEVEL

Organ systems consist of different organs that
work together closely.
E.g. Both the kidneys and the bladder are organs of the
urinary system.

6. ORGANISM LEVEL
Many organ systems work harmoniously together
to perform the functions of an independent
organism.
