Science
Groups of similar cells working together to perform specific jobs
Tissue
Largest part of the brain that controls thinking and voluntary movements of the skeletal muscles
Cerebrum
the clear covering that protects the eye. It helps focus light
Cornea
A skin pigment
Melanin
The skin’s thin outer layer, consisting of five layers of cells
Epidermis
The part of the eye that carries impulses to the brain, which interprets them as images
Optic nerve
The tiny “master gland” that regulates the body’s growth and is located in the brain
Pituitary gland
A network of organs that work together to defend the body against disease and infection
Immune system
Tiny tubes in the skin where hairs grow out of your body
Follicle
The tiny “master gland” that regulates the body’s growth and is located in the brain
Pituitary gland
The skin’s thin outer layer, consisting of five layers of cells
Epidermis
The part of the eye that carries impulses to the brain, which interprets them as images
Optic nerve
the clear covering that protects the eye. It helps focus light
Cornea
Nerve cell that is the basic unit of the nervous system
Neuron
Largest part of the brain that controls thinking and voluntary movements of the skeletal muscles
Cerebrum

Tissue
How are skeletal, smooth and cardiac muscle tissue similar and different?
All are made up of cells; all have different functions.
Where is loose connective tissue found in the body?
Loose connective tissue is found under the skin with fat
Which type of tissue heals the quickest? Why?
Epithelial tissue heals the quickest because it is repaired almost continuously. This means the tissue easily recovers when injured.
What type of muscle tissue is found in your arms?
Skeletal muscle tissue is found in the arms since this type of muscle supports movement and is attached to the body’s skeleton
