Where it all started
This is the basic units of all living things.
What are cells?
Stores genetic information (DNA) and controls cellular activities
What is the nucleus?
The process of cell division.
What is mitosis?
A collection of similar cells that perform a particular function.
What are tissues?
Bone, cartilage, ligaments, tendons, blood, lymph, and fat.
What is connective tissue?
This is the smallest cell in the body.
What is the red blood cell?
Contain digestive enzymes that break down waste products and worn-out cell components
What are lysosomes?
Cells divide and form two new cells called this.
What are daughter cells?
This fibrous tissue binds together, protects, and supports various parts of the body.
What are connective tissues?
Lining of the heart, digestive and respiratory organs, and the glands.
What is epithelial tissue?
This is dense, active protoplasm found in the center of the cell.
What is the nucleus?
A network of protein fibers that provides structural support and helps with movement within the cell
What is the cytoskeleton?
DAILY DOUBLE
What is an adequate supply of food oxygen and water; suitable temperatures; and the ability to eliminate waste products?
An example of connective tissue that gives smoothness and contour to the body.
What is adipose or fat tissue?
Found in your deltoids, and abs.
What is muscle tissue?
The cell wall that encloses the protoplasm and permits soluble substances to enter and leave the cell.
What is the cell membrane?
Site of protein synthesis, where amino acids are assembled into proteins
What is Ribosomes?
These two structures near the nucleus move to each side during mitosis.
What are centrioles?
Protective covering on the body surfaces, such as skin and mucous membranes.
What is epithelial tissue?
Found in the brain to carry messages to various body parts.
What is nerve tissue?
The watery fluid that surrounds the nucleus.
What is cytoplasm?
A cell structure that forms a maze of passageways in which proteins and other materials are carried from one part of the cell to another.
What is the Rough ER?
This process includes the splitting of the cytoskeleton into two different cells
What is cytokenesis?
Contracts and moves various parts of the body.
What is muscle tissue?
The heart is composed of these two tissues.
What is epithelial and muscle tissue?
