Explain the biological structure hierarchy of the human body and the role of homeostasis in maintaining the body. Include the fo
Nuetrik [128]

Answer:

1. Biological structure of the human body

The human body is organized in different levels according to their complexity.

The levels are the folowing (increasing complexity).

1. Atom (N, O, C,..)

2. Molecule (Protein, lipids, water...)

3. Organelle (mitochondria, golgi apparatus,...)

4. Cell (blood cells, bone cell,..)

5. Tissue (connective tissue, epithelial tissue,..)

6. Organ (lungs, kidney,..)

7. Organ system (skeletal system, muscuar system,...)

8. Organism (the human body)

Each of the levels is formed by an agrupation of the previous level. For example, cells are formed by a number of organelles, and a group of cells form a tissue.

Cells are the basic units of structure of the body, and there are different types of them.

2. Homeostasis

Homeostasis is a process of the body by which the organism works to maintain a stable internal environment, while adjusting to changes in the external environment.

This process is possible because of the work of both the nervous system and the endocrine system. While the first controles the body's activities and detects the necesity of adjustments, the second regulates the activities by using hormones.

Why are the ventricles of the heart so much larger than the atria of the heart?
konstantin123 [22]
<span>The ventricles are the part of the heart that are responsible for the pumping action to move blood throughout the body. Therefore, the muscles in the ventricles are much larger and thicker to do their job properly. The atrium only has to pump blood through an open valve (the tricuspid valve) into the right ventricle. There is much less resistance to this flow of blood so much less muscle is needed. </span>
