Describe the anatomy and physiology of the respiratory system. S.1.3 Describe the anatomy and physiology of the cardiovascular system. S.1.4 Describe the anatomy and physiology of the gastrointestinal system. S.1.5 Describe the anatomy and physiology of the neuromuscular system. S.1.6 Describe the anatomy and physiology of the reproductive system. S.1.7 Describe the anatomy and physiology of the integumentary system. S.1.8 Describe the anatomy and physiology of the endocrine system. S.1.9 Describe the anatomy and physiology of the genitourinary system. S.1.10 Describe the anatomy and physiology of the immune system. S.1.11 Describe the anatomy and physiology of the skeletal system.

The human body features a hierarchy (system of levels) of structures and functions that go from the smallest part of a cell to organ systems that nourish or protect the entire body. On the Science portion of the TEAS exam, you must be able to describe each of these structures and functions. You must also use correct terminology about anatomical structures and their precise location. Know the basic tenets of cell theory. • All living organisms are composed of cells. • The cell is the basic unit of structure and organization in organisms. • All cells come from preexisting cells. Describe how cells carry out the basic processes of life. • Take in food and metabolize it for energy • Respond to the environment • Grow • Reproduce • Dispose of waste Distinguish between the two main types of cells: prokaryotes and eukaryotes. (For the purposes of this book, archaea and bacteria are grouped together as prokaryotes.) [Show More]
