BODY FUNCTION
AND LIFE PROCESS
Body functions are the
physiological or
psychological functions of
body systems. The body's
functions are ultimately its
cells' functions. Survival is
the body's most important
business. Survival depends
on the body's maintaining or
restoring the body.
LIFE PROCESS
include nutrition,
metabolism,
transportation, respiration,
reproduction, excretion,
and responsiveness. These
processes are essential for
maintaining life, growth, and
development, and they
work together in a
coordinated manner.
