Homeostasis is Maintained by Negative Feedback; 1.5. Anatomical Terms Describe Body Directions, Regions, and Planes; A Closer Look: Medical Imaging: Illuminating the Body; 1.6. Many Internal Organs Lie in Membrane-Lined Body Cavities. 2. Chemistry Comes AlivePart 1: Basic Chemistry; 2.1. Matter is the Stuff of the Universe and Energy Moves Matter; 2.2. The Properties of an Element Depend on the Structure of its Atoms; 2.3. Atoms Bound Together Form Molecules Different Molecules can Make Mixtures; 2.4. The Three Types of Chemical Bonds are Ionic, Covalent, and Hydrogen; 2.5. Chemical Reactions Occur when Electrons are Shared, Gained, or Lost; Part 2: Biochemistry; 2.6. Inorganic Compounds Include Water, Salts, and Many Acids and Bases; 2.7. Organic Compounds are Made by Dehydration Synthesis and Broken Down by Hydrolysis. 2.8. Carbohydrates Provide an Easily Used Energy Source for the Body2.9. Lipids Insulate Body Organs, Build Cell Membranes, and Provide Stored Energy; 2.10. Proteins are the Body's Basic Structural Material and have Many Vital Functions; 2.11. DNA and RNA Store, Transmit, and Help Express Genetic Information; 2.12.
