This can be approached either systematically or regionally: system = a group of structures (organs?) that have one or more common functions (e. g cardiovascular system) In systemic anatomy, the body is studied system by system. The study of anatomy investigates the body structures and the relationship between the structure of a body part and its function. In gross anatomy, structures that can be examined without a microscope are studied. Both of them together cover up the study of the human body. 1. 2 structural and functional organization of the human body. The function of a molecule is related to its structure: cell level = cells => the basic structural and functional units of plants and animals.
