Cells
The basic unit of structure and function in living organisms.
Cell
The powerhouse of the cell; produces ATP.
Mitochondria
The ability to maintain a stable internal environment.
Homeostasis
Responsible for movement (skeletal, cardiac, smooth).
Muscle Tissue
Name the levels of organization
Cell, Tissue, Organ, Organ System, Organism.
Specialized structures within a cell (e.g., nucleus, mitochondria, ribosomes).
Organelle
Organelle involved in protein synthesis.
Ribosome
A group of similar cells that perform a specific function.
Tissue
Conducts electrical impulses; makes up the brain, spinal cord, and nerves.
Nervous Tissue
The process by which cells become specialized. What is the name of this process?
Differentiation
A semipermeable barrier that surrounds the cell.
Cell membrane
A network of membranes involved in protein and lipid production (rough and smooth ER).
Endoplasmic Reticulum (ER)
The study of tissues
Histology
The non-living substance around cells in connective tissues.
Matrix (extracellular matrix)
Cell division that results in two identical daughter cells.
Mitosis
The jelly-like substance inside cells where organelles are suspended.
Cytoplasm
Packages and distributes proteins and lipids.
Golgi Apparatus
Epithelial Tissue
What type of tissue is this: a connective tissue found in many areas of the body. It is firm, flexible, and provides support and cushioning in joints and other parts of the body.
Cartilage Tissue
What is Regeneration?
The ability of tissues to repair or regrow.
Control center of the cell that contains DNA.
Nucleus
Contains digestive enzymes to break down waste.
Lysosome
Supports, binds, and protects organs (e.g., bone, cartilage, blood, fat).
Connective Tissue
a living, mineralized connective tissue that supports and protects the body, produces blood cells, and stores essential minerals.
Bone Tissue
a small, flexible, and nucleus-free cell rich in hemoglobin, designed to efficiently transport oxygen and carbon dioxide throughout the body.
