The human body, like any other
metazoan, It is made of cells. The cell is the structural unit essentials of
living organisms. In the human body more than 250 cell types are known which
represent a very small part of the millions of cell types that make up all
living beings planet. These structural elements are not isolated but closely to
build inter-agency alive. Between the cells and the whole organism no
intermediate levels of organization: tissues, organs and systems and devices. Tissues
are sets of cells which develop a particular function. There are four basic
types tissue: epithelial, connective, muscular and nervous; Y of them there are
specialized forms. Thus, within the tissue connective can be distinguished
adipose, cartilage, bone and blood. One feature of connective tissue cells is
well consists in largely by another structural element called extracellular
matrix. The extracellular matrix consists fibers and ground substance or
amorphous matrix. The fibers are composed of different proteins; stand including
several varieties of collagen (fibers collagen and reticulin fibers),
fibrillins (microfibrils) and elastin (elastic fibers). The amorphous matrix
contains liquid tissue (water, salts and small molecules) and, primarily,
glycosaminoglycans, proteoglycans and various glycoproteins. Bodies are formed
by different types of tissue. Are well defined anatomical units
exercising at least a function.
Thus, esophagus leads food into the stomach, kidney shaped urine but also it
produces substances that regulate the pressure blood and liver is an organ with
multiple functions metabolic. The organs are associated with appliances and
systems perform complex functions. An apparatus or system It can be defined as
a combination of parts to service a complex function, for example, digestion. There
is a tendency in the current anatomical terminology to exclude the term device.
However, in this work both terms are maintained. In the apparatus, organs They
are anatomically well defined, with limits accurate. In systems, the concept of
organ is more diffuse and macroscopic structures are hardly separable, for the
cellular and molecular elements that are no defined barriers or they overlap
throughout the body. Thus, it is easy delimit the urinary organs, but in the immune
system can not be separate bodies immune lymphoid cells isolated, and the
system nervous is, ultimately, a very complex cellular network that invades the
whole organism so diffuse. Equipment and systems that make up the human body They
are: 1) The skin and its annexes (integumentary system), 2) musculoskeletal
system, consisting of bones and cartilage (system Skeleton), joints (articular
system) muscles (muscular system), 3) the digestive system, 4) respiratory, 5)
urinary tract, 6) the device player or genital, 7) the endocrine system, 8) the
immune system, 9) the circulatory system, which encompasses the cardiovascular
system and the lymphatic system, 10) the nervous system. The organs do not
constitute a system or standalone device. They are receivers that capture and transform
information from the outside world form part of a continuum with the nervous
system. All systems work in a coordinated and structurally They can only be
separated as a method study to understand the overall unit is being alive. Underlying
these levels of organization of the body They are human molecules. The cells
are formed molecules, producing molecules and interact by molecules. Proteins
are the main molecules of which it depends on the structural organization and functional
living things. Themselves have their own and specific spatial organization
(anatomy). And the structure protein is specified by genes, which they are
fragments of the DNA molecule, whose organization space is essential for its
function again. The genes thus contain in coded form, the information the
structure of the organism, its cell types, their functions, their number and
spatial position of organization in tissues and organs, as well as signals for
development grow and die.
