The science of the causes and effects of diseases:

Which organ carries blood throughout the body (circulatory system)?

The stomach and intestines digest food and remove waste (digestive system).

What is the role of the epithelial tissue?

The integumentary system provides protection; regulates temperature, & controls the sebaceous and sudoriferous glands

What is the role of the nerve tissue?

The colorless, gel-like substance containing water, salt and nutrients that cells are composed of is referred to as:

The study of normal organ function and body systems is called:

The tissue that contracts when stimulated to produce motion is known as:

The organ that controls the body function and synthesize information is the:

Cell structures found in pairs near the nucleus are defined as:

What are the protein builders of the cell?

The activity in which each cell absorbs food, grows in size and divides into two new cells is referred to as:

The process of cell growth and division is called:

What is the role of the connective tissue?

The release of energy within a cell necessary for specific body functions is caused by:

The study of body structures that can be seen with the naked eye:

The chemical process in which cells receive nutrients for cell growth and reproduction is known as:

Which system controls release of hormones that directly affect hair growth, skin conditions, and energy levels?

Which organ filters old/non-functional red blood cells from the body (lymphatic system)?

The control center of cell activities is called the:

Which organ forms waste and toxins into stool (excretory system)?

Which system allows for voluntary and involuntary movement for the body?

A separate body structure that is composed of tissues is a(n):

The primary function of the excretory system is to:

Which area of science involves the study of the organs and systems of the body?

What protects and helps maintain the shape of the cell?

Which organ helps regulate blood sugar (endocrine system)?

All of the following statements about mitochondria are correct EXCEPT:

Which is the correct order?

The study of how tissues are structured and how they work; it’s a look at structures too small to be seen:

What process builds up larger molecules from small ones?

Organelles in the cytoplasm that take in nutrients, break them down and create ATP for the cells:

Most of the activities of the cell take place in the:
