2. The study of anatomy and physiology begins with chemistry
Overview
The study of anatomy and physiology begins with chemistry
Chemistry becomes biology
Macromolecules
At the cellular level of organization, chemistry, in a sense, becomes biology. A cell’s working parts—its organelles—are intricate assemblies of macromolecules. Because the macromolecules that build the cells that build tissues and organs are themselves composed of atoms, the study of anatomy and physiology begins with chemistry.
Build the cells that build tissues and organs

In our bodies
Matter is anything that has weight and takes up space. This includes all the solids, liquids, and gases in our surroundings, as well as inside our bodies.

4. Elements
Element: A basic substance from which other things are composed
All matter is composed of elements
Oxygen (O)
Carbon (C)
Hydrogen (H)
Nitrogen (N)
All matter is composed of fundamental substances called elements, 90 of which occur naturally. An element is a basic substance that other things are composed from. The four most abundant elements are oxygen (O), carbon (C), hydrogen (H), and nitrogen (N).

5. Living organisms require 20 elements
Atoms
The smallest complete unit of an element
Vary in size, weight, and interactions
Living organisms require about twenty elements. Of these, oxygen, carbon, hydrogen, and nitrogen make up more than 95% (by weight) of the human body. Each individual element is made up of tiny, invisible particles called atoms.
The atom is the smallest complete unit of an element. Atoms vary in size, weight, and the ways they interact with other atoms. Some atoms can combine with atoms like themselves or with other atoms by forming attractions called chemical bonds.
