The study of the structures of the human body, and the substances these structures are made of. It is the science of the interconnected detail of organisms, or of their parts.

Most cells include protoplasm, a nucleus, organelles (small organs), and the cell membrane

Organelles floating freely throughout the cell that take in nutrients, break them down, and create energy for the cell

A collection of similar cells that perform a particular function. Each tissue has a specific function and can be recognized by its characteristic appearance. There are four types.

Largest organ of the body, first line of defense against infection and water loss; regulates temperature, perceives sensation, produces vitamin D; has absorption capabilities.

The study of the functions and activities performed by the body structures, including physical and chemical processes.

re the basic unit of all living things, including bacteria, plants, animals, and humans. Responsible for carrying on all life processes.

Chemical energy used within cells for metabolism is called

Connective Tissue: Supports, protects, and binds together other tissues of the body.

Skeletal System
Function: Forms physical foundation of body; consists of bones and moveable and immoveable joints.

Also known as microscopic anatomy, the study of the structure and composition of tissue.

A colorless, watery, gel-like fluid containing the nutrient material necessary for cell growth, reproduction, and self-repair.

Encloses the protoplasm and permits soluble substances to enter and leave

Protective lining on cavities of the body and surfaces of organs.

Covers, shapes, and supports skeletal tissue; contracts and moves parts of the body; consists of muscles.

The study of

The dense, active protoplasm found in the center of the cell. Plays an important part in cell reproduction and metabolism. Contains

Normal process of cell reproduction in human tissues that occurs when the cell divides into two identical cells called daughter cells.

Contracts and moves parts of the body.

Carries messages through central nervous system, controlling and coordinating all bodily functions.

the fluid within the nucleus that contains proteins and deoxyribonucleic acid. DNA determines our genetic makeup.

The complex chemical process taking place in living organisms; converts nutrients to energy and eliminates waste.

Carries messages through the central nervous system to control and coordinate all bodily functions.

Controls the steady delivery of the blood through the body; works with the lymphatic channels.
