System quanta are specific operators in the dynamic activity of the organism's functional systems discovered by P. K. Anokhin. By the term 'system quantum' of life activities we propose to understand discrete system processes proceeding from any arising need up to its satisfactions. Every system quantum of behavior presents a self-regulating organization including the initial need, motivation, system architectonics as described above, intermediate and final results and continuous evaluation of the achieved results by dynamic reconstruction of acceptor of action's result. System quanta may be organized at different levels of life activity. These levels extend in their hierarchy from genes and functional systems of metabolic and autonomic level to zoo-social populations of animals and human communities. Every system quantum is also characterized by information properties. Information properties of every system quantum are closely related to the initial need and its satisfaction
