Cells
Identical cells known as daughter cells.
Mitosis (mito-SIS)
Supports, Protects, and binds together other tissues of the body.
Connective Tissue
Tube like structures that include the arteries, arteroiles, capillaries, venules, and veins.
Blood Vessels
Produced in the red bone marrow. they contain hemoglobin.
Red blood cells
What is the largest and most complex mass of nerve tissues in the body
The brain
What is responsible for all living things?
Cells
Gives smoothness and contour to the body
Adipose Tissue
(POSE)
Thick-Walled, muscular, flexible tubes that carry oxygenated blood away from the heart to the arterioles.
Arteries
Complex iron protein that gives the blood its bright red color
Hemoglobin
______ makes up the bulk of the brain. it is located in the front, upper part of the cranium.
Cerebrum
Dense, active protoplasm found in the center of the sell.
Nucleus
Protective covering on the body surfaces. Skin is an example of this tissue
Epithelial Tissue
Small vessels that connect the capillaries to the veins.
Venules
Perform the function of destroying disease causing germs.
White blood cells
Little brain, it lies at the base of the cerebrum and is attached to the brain stem
Cerebellum
This watery fluid contains the food materials necessary for cell growth, reproduction, and self repair.
Cytoplasm
Contracts and moves the various parts of the body
Muscle Tissue
Tiny, thin walled blood vessels that connect the smaller arteries to venules. They bring nutrients to the cells and carry away waste materials.
Capillaries
also known as thrombocytes, contribute to the blood clotting process, which stops bleeding.
Platelets
located in the uppermost part of the midbrain and has two main parts called the thalamus and the hypothalamus.
Diencephalon
Through metabolism, cells are nourished and carry out their activities.
_______ is constructive metabolism, the process of building up larger molecules from smaller ones
_______ is the phase in which complex compounds within the cells are broken down into smaller ones.
Anabolism
Catabolism
Carries messages to and from the brain and controls and coordinates all bodily functions
Nerve Tissue
Thin walled blood vessels that are less elastic than arteries. they contain cup like valves that keep blood flowing in one direction to the heart and prevent the blood from flowing backward.
Fluid part of the blood in which the red and white blood cells and platelets flow.
Plasma
______ connects the spinal cord to the brain.
______ originates in the brain, extends down to the lower extremity of the trunk and is protected by the spinal cord.
Brain Stem
Spinal Cord
