The Body Flashcards
A group of cells working together to perform a specific function?
Tissues
Every. Couple. Needs. More. Love.
Five types of tissues:
Epithelial, Connective, Nervous, Muscle, Liquid.
A tissue that covers and lines the body surfaces and internal organs?
Epithelial Tissues (skin, lining of intestine)
A tissue that supports and holds body parts together?
Connective Tissue (skin, bone, cartilage)
A tissue that controls body activities and allows for sensations and reaction?
Nervous Tissue (brain, spinal cord, nerves)
A tissue that contracts and expands when stimulated to produce movement?
Muscle Tissue (skeletal muscles)
A tissue that transports nutrients, waste products, and hormones?
Liquid Tissue (blood and lymph)
Groups of tissues working together to perform specific functions?
Organs
Groups of organs working together to perform specific functions?
Body Systems
The fundamental structural and functional unit of which all living organisms are composed?
The Cell
The study of the structure and function of cells?
Cytology
Organization of the body?
Cells > Tissues > Organs > Body Systems > Human Body

6 Essential Life Functions of a Cell Respiration Response to Stimuli Reproduction Ingestion and Digestion Movement Metabolism - Catabolism - Anabolism
The use of oxygen by the cell resulting in a release of energy?
Respiration
Cells adapting to limited changes in their external and internal environment?
Response to Stimuli
Production of new cells?
Reproduction
The sum of all chemical processes within the cell; turns nutrients into energy for the body to use or store for later use?
Metabolism
Building up larger molecules from smaller ones; body stores food, water, and oxygen?
Anabolism
Breaking down larger molecules or substances into smaller ones; release of energy within cell to preform muscular movements or digestion?
Catabolism
