Anatomy refers to

investigating human structure via dissection and other methods

nature of human function

the removal of waste products in the body is achieved by a process known as

excretion

metabolism is the

sum total of all physical and chemical reactions occurring in the body

skeletal

support and movement are functions of which systems

skeletal and muscular systems

organelle

collections of molecules to perform a function

cells

the smallest "living" unit of structure and function

tissue

many similar cells that act together to perform a common function

organ

a group of several different kinds of tissues

systems

the most complex units that make up the body
