The branch of science that deals with the structure (morphology) of body parts- their forms and organization.

• zoology
• genetics
• physiology
• anatomy

atom→ molecules→ macromolecules→ organelles-->cells→ tissues→ organs→ organ system→ organism

The above sequence of the levels of organization of living things is correct.

• True
• False

Movement, responsiveness, growth, reproduction, respiration, digestion, absorption, circulation, assimilation, and excretion 
The above is a thorough list of characteristics of living things

• True
• False

Requirements of living things for function include:

• Water, food
• Oxygen, heat
• Pressure
• All choices are correct

Conditions within organism's (internal environment) must remain stable for survival. This concept relates to:

• homeopathic
• homeostasis
• positive feedback
• longevity

NEGATIVE feedback mechanisms include: 

• Body temperature
• control of blood sugar by insulin
•  thermostats
• All choices are correct

Childbirth (oxytocin speeding up contractions), blood clotting are examples of:

• Positive feedback mechanisms
• Negative feedback mechanisms

The axial portion of the human body includes: 

• skin, muscle, bone
• head neck, trunk
• esophagus, trachea, thymus 
• arms and legs

The appendicular portion of the human body includes: 

• trunk and limbs
• heart, lungs, intestines
• head, neck, vertebrae
• upper and lower limbs

The abdominopelvic cavity includes:
