Animal Cells/Tissue
This tissue acts as a barrier between inside and outside our body
What is epithelial tissue?
The tissue that is responsible for protection of the plant (sometimes referred to as plant "skin")
What is epidermal tissue?
Where digestion begins
What is the mouth?
The organ the pumps blood
What is the heart?
The reason humans inhale and exhale
What is to take in oxygen and get rid of carbon dioxide?
The 3 types of muscle tissue and their functions
What is...
1. Skeletal Muscle (voluntary)
2. Smooth Muscle (involuntary)
3. Cardiac Muscle (muscle in the heart that pumps blood)
The tissue that is responsible for the structure and strength of a plant
What is ground tissue?
The organ the produces bile
What is the Liver?
The 4 chambers of the heart
What is the right atrium, right ventricle, left atrium, left ventricle?
The organ responsible for stretching our vocal cords (sometimes known as the voice box)
What is the larynx?
This tissue stretches across the whole body and sends/receives signals that controls the body's actions
What is nervous tissue?
What is vascular tissue?
Where most of the nutrients are absorbed
The blood vessels that carry blood away from the heart
What are arteries?
The muscle that helps the lungs expand and contract
What is the diaphragm?
The 3 types of connective tissue (and their functions)
What is...
1. Bone tissue (strength and support)
2. Adipose/Fat Tissue (stores energy)
3. Blood Tissue (transports oxygen to the body)
This unspecialized tissue is responsible for plant growth and repair
Where BOTH mechanical and chemical digestion take place
What is the stomach? OR What is the mouth?
Blood vessels that carry blood toward the heart
What are veins?
The organ that is close to the capillaries and where gas exchange occurs
What are alveoli?
A cell can divide into many specialized cell types and ONE reason they are so important.
What are stem cells?
- more specialized medical treatment
- they can differentiate into different cell types (good for quick healing)
- they can be donated to help other people heal quickly
The two types of vascular tissue.
What are xylem and phloem?
The organ that is part of both the digestive system and the respiratory system
What is the pharynx?
The blood vessel where gas exchange happens
What are capillaries?
How the circulatory system and respiratory system work together.
The respiratory system brings oxygen into the lungs (gas exchange occurs between the alveoli and capillaries), and the circulatory system transports that oxygen to body cells while carrying carbon dioxide back to the lungs for removal.
