4 Plant Tissues
Epidermal
Vascular
Meristematic
Ground
Skin
Largest organ Insulates/ Releases heat Defends against disease Protects inner cells from damage Excretes bodily waste
Epidermis vs Dermis
Outer layer of epithelial tissue
Prevents bacteria and virus from entering body
Vitamin D with UV rays
vs
Inner layer of connect, nervous, muscular tissue
Integumentary System
Covers and protects body
Glands help control body tempature
Skeletal
Supports body
Allows movement
Protects the body
Muscular
Works with skeletal system to provide movement
Moves material within body
Digestive
Ingestion
Digestion
Absorption of nutrients
Elimination of solid wastes
Respiratory
Exchange of gases
Circulatory
Transportation of materials (such as oxygen, nutrients, hormones, waste) within body
Nervous
Controls body functions
Coordinates responses and activities
Endocrine
Controls growth and development
Controls metabolism
Excretory
Elimination of wastes
Reproductive
Reproduction
Lymphatic
Protects body from disease
Circulates fluid called lymph
Absorbs and transports fats
