Ross and Wilson Anatomy and Physiology in Health and Illness

The cells, tissues and organisation of the body. Hierarchical Structure. The human body is organized in a hierarchical manner, starting with cells, the basic units of life. Similar cells group together to form tissues, such as epithelial, connective, muscle, and nervous tissue. Different tissues combine to form organs, like the heart or brain, each with specific functions. Finally, organs work together in organ systems, such as the digestive or respiratory system, to perform complex bodily functions. Maintaining Homeostasis. The body strives to maintain a stable internal environment, a state c
