The smallest unit that is able to perform the basic functions of life.

A group of similar cells that are organized to do a specific job. 4 Major types of tissues: 1. Muscle tissue. 2. Connective tissue. 3. Epithelial tissue. 4 nervous tissue

A structure in a plant or animal that is made up of different tissues working together to perform a particular function

A group of organs that together perform a function that helps the body meet its needs for energy and materials.

Enables the movement of the body through muscle contraction. Types of muscle tissue: Striated or skeletal, cardiac, and smooth.

Functions to hold parts of the body together, providing support, protection, strength

Lines the body surfaces. It protects other tissues from dehydration and physical damage.

Carries information throughout the body.

An individual living thing, made up of one or many cells, that is capable of growing and reproducing.

The framework of bones that supports the body, protects internal organs, and anchors all the body's movement.

A condition needed for health and functioning in which and organism or cell maintains a relatively stable internal envirionment. Example: Drinking water after you sweat helps mantain homeostasis because you are maintaining the right body temperature.

A fluid in your body that delivers oxygen and other materials to cells and removes carbon dioxide and other wastes.

The part of the skeleton that forms the axis. It provides support and and protection.

Locks bones together like puzzle pieces. The bones of your skull are connected by immovable joints. You can not move these bones.

Slightly Movable joints

The Joints are able to flex slightly. Your ribs are connected to your sternum by slightly movable joints.

Freely Movable Joints

The Joints allow your body to bend and to move. Tissues called ligaments hold the bones together at movable joints.

3 types of muscle ,1. Skeletal Muscle

Skeletal muscle- The muscles that are attached to your skeleton. Performs voluntary movement, which is movement you chose to make.

3 types of muscle, 2. Smooth Muscle

Found inside some organs, such as the intestines and the stomach. It performs automatic movement. You have no control over the movement it makes.

3 types of muscle, 3. Cardiac Muscle

Moves without conscious control. Your heart is made out of it.

A chemical that is made in one organ and travels through the blood to another organ.

A blood vessel that carries blood back to the heart.

A tough band of fibrous connective tissue that usually connects muscle to bone.

connects a bone to another bone.

The location at which two or more bones make contact.
