Stores genetic instructions needed to make all proteins in the body
DNA
A group of cells performing a similar function
Tissue
This system consists of bones and joints
skeletal
Bones that are longer than they are wide
long bones
This organelle generates and stores energy for the cell (hint: power house)
The stage of the cell cycle when a cell is not splitting into two cells
interphase
Helps provide a framework for the body and supports organs
Connective tissue
This system is made up of the brain, spinal cord, and nerves
nervous system
The rounded, broader end of a long bone
Epiphysis
A network of tubes and filaments throughout the cell
Cytoskeleton
Each section of DNA that has information foR a particular protein
Gene
This tissue lines body cavities and covers surfaces
Epithelial tissue
This system is made up of the heart and blood vessels

Medial
The liquid found inside the cell
Cytosol
The part of the cell cycle directly involved in dividing one cell into 2 daughter cells
