3) The cell is the most basic unit of structure and function in all living organisms
Cell Membrane
Controls what goes in and out of cell
Nucleus
Brain of the cell
Cytoplasm
Hold other organelles in place
Mitochondria
Power house
Golgi Apparatus
Packages proteins
Endoplasmic Reticulum
Transports proteins
Ribosomes
Makes proteins
Lysosome
Disposes of waste
Connective Tissue
Binds the cells and organs of the body together and functions in the protection, support, and integration of all parts of the body
Fat and other soft tissues Bone Tendons
Muscle Tissue
Responds to stimulation and contracts to provide movement, and occurs as three major types:
Skeletal (voluntary) Smooth Cardiac (heart)
Nervous Tissue
Allows the propagation of electrochemical signals in the form of nerve impulses that communicate between different regions of the body
Brain
Spinal cord
Nerves
Tissue Membranes
Thin layer or sheet of cells that cover the outside of the body, organs, internal passageways, and lining of moveable joint cavities
Connective tissue Epithelial membranes
