The study structure of an organism.
What is cytoplasam.

What is Lysosomes?
oval or round bodies found throughout the cytoplasm.
What is Pathophysiology?
The study of how diseases occur and the responses of living organisms to disease processes.
What is a Centrosome
Located in the cytoplasm and near the nucleus. It helps seperate and divide the cells.
What is degenerative?
caused by a deterioration of the function or structure of body tissues and organs either by normal body aging or lifestyle choices such as diet and exercise.
What is genes?
The structures that carry inherited characteristics.
What is Meiosis?

The supporting fabric of organs and other body parts.
What is Epithelial tissue
covers the surface of the body and is the main tissue in the skin.
What is Homeostasis?
a constant state of natural balance within the body.
What is Nucleolus?
one or more small, round bodies located inside the nucleus, and important in cell reproduction.
What is Stem cells?
These stem cells can transform themselves into any of the body's specialized cells and perform many different functions.
