all about the CELL
What are the basic units of all living things - from plans to animals, including human beings?
Cells
This is a collection of similar cells that perform a particular function:
Tissue
What are the primary functions of the skeletal system?
1. Give shape and support to the body.
2. Protect various internal structures and organs.
3. Serve as attachments for muscles and act as levers to produce body movement.
4. Help produce both white and red blood cells.
5. Store most of the body's calcium supply, as well as phosphorus, magnesium and sodium
The body system that covers, shapes, and holds the skeletal system in place.
Well-organized body system composed of the brain, spinal cord, and nerves that is responsible for controlling and coordinating all other systems of the body.
The Nervous System
The cells of all living things are composed of a substance called:
Protoplasm
The fibrous tissue that binds together, protects and supports the various parts of the body:
Connective Tissue
The skull is made up of two parts, what are they?
1. Cranium
2. Facial Skeleton
There are 3 parts to a muscle, what are they?
Orgin, Belly, Insertion
Also known as the cardiovascular system, controls the steady circulation of the blood through the body by means of the heart and blood vessels.
The Circulatory System
What is the dense, active protoplasm found in the center of the cell? It plays an important part in cell reproduction and metabolism.
Nucleus
This is a protective covering on the body surfaces such as skin, mucous membrane, the tissue inside of the mouth, the lining of the heart, digestive and respiratory organs, and the glands:
Epithelial Tissue
Hindmost bone of the skull, below the parietal bones; forms the back of the skull above the nape
Occipital Bone
What is the difference between Voluntary Muscles and Involuntary Muscles?
This is made up of lymph, lymph nodes, the thymus gland, the spleen, and lymph vessels.
The Lymphatic System
What is a watery fluid that surrounds the nucleus of the cell and is needed for growth, reproduction and self-repair?
Cytoplasm
Contracts and moves various parts of the body:
Muscle Tissue
Also known as the chest or pulmonary trunk.
Thorax
Muscles that draw a body part, such as a finger, arm, or toe away from the midline of the body or of an extremity.
Abductors
Consists of skin and its accessory organs, such as the oil and sweat glands, sensory receptors, hair, and nails.
Integumentary System
Cell Membrane
Carries messages to and from the brain and controls and coordinates all bodily functions.
Nerve Tissue
Inner and larger bone of the forearm (lower arm), attached to the wrist and located on the side of the little finger (the pinky)
Ulna
Muscles that draw a body part, such as finger, arm or toes inward toward the median axis of the body or of an extremity.
Adductors
Group of specialized glands that affect the growth, development, sexual functions, and health of the entire body.
Endocrine System
