Oval or round bodies found throughout the cytoplasm containing digestive enzymes that digest and destroy old cells.

This type of tissue includes, adipose, ligaments and tendons, cartilage and bone, and blood and lymph.

Main kinds of muscle tissue

Fine network of tubular structures located in the cytoplasm allowing transport of material in and out of nucleus.

Located in the cytoplasm, near the nucleus, contains two centrioles that separate during mitosis.

Study of the processes of living organisms.

The main groups of tissues

Organs/structures of the nervous system

Composed of ordinary elements such as carbon, oxygen, hydrogen, sulfur, nitrogen and phosphorus.

Pocketlike folds in the cell membrane which allow large molecules such as proteins and fats to enter the cell.

Semifluid inside the cell that is the site for all chemical reactions that take place in the cell.

Muscle cells only reproduce every few years, but muscle tissue can be enlarged with exercise.

Mass in the cytoplasm that controls cell activities and is important in the process of mitosis.

Protects the body from injury, infection, and dehydration.

Division of sex cells that reduces the number of chromosomes to 23.

Filters blood to maintain fluid and electrolyte balance in the body; produces and eliminates urine

Carries some tissue fluid and wastes to blood, assists with fighting infection

Organs/structures of the respiratory system

This type of tissue forms the lining of the intestinal, respiratory, circulatory and urinary tracts.

One or more small bodies located inside the nucleus where ribosomes are produced.

One to more than, 1000, rod-shaped organelles located throughout the cytoplasm that produce ATP.

Pouchlike structures found throughout the cytoplasm that are filled with a watery substance, stored food, or waste.

When cells of the same type join together for a common purpose, they form an organ.

Stem cells can be obtained from a 4-5 day old embryo, new born umbilical cord/placenta, or adult bone marrow/liver.

Total mass of genetic instruction humans inherit from their parents.

Organs and other body parts joined together to perform a particular function are called

Tissue made up of neurons.

Stack of membrane layers located in the cytoplasm that produce, store and package secretions for discharge from the cell

Study of how disease occurs and the responses of living organisms to disease processes.

When there is an insufficient amount of tissue fluid

Cells that have the ability to transform themselves into any of the body's specialized cells.

Semipermeable, outer protective covering of the cell, which allows certain substances to enter and leave the cell.

Nerve cells in the brain and spinal cord reproduce after birth.

Functions of a cell

Two or more tissues joined together to perform a specific function are called

Produces and secretes hormones to regulate body processes.

Made of deoxyribonucleic acid and protein, condenses to form chromosomes during cell reproduction.

The basic unit of structure and function in all living things.

The study of the form and structure of an organism.
