How Do Living Things Heal?

TermDefinition
Healing The process that happens when your body is trying to put itself back together. That process may require assistance from medicine or technology.
Function job of the part in the body
Structure The characteristic (the shape or way it's made or arranged) that supports its function
Microscope an instrument that can be used to observe small objects
Circulatory System The blood, blood vessels, and heart which move things your body needs all around it.
Nervous System A network of nerves cells that transmits signals back and forth between the body and the brain.
Cells microscopic structures that make up different parts of our bodies.
Tissue Many cells working together to carry out a function in the body.
Healing (new definition) When the injured part of the body has new cells (such as skin, bone, or muscle) fill the gap that was there before.
Nucleus the control center of the cell and contains all of your genetic information.
Chromosomes tiny, threadlike structures inside most cells of every living thing. They carry information about the organism that is copied when new cells are made.
Organelle a membrane bound structure found within a cell
Cytoplasm the jelly-like substance inside a cell.
Cell Membrane the thin, flexible boundary that surrounds the cytoplasm of a cell. It allows certain substances into and out of the cell.
Cell wall A rigid outer boundary that provides structure for plant cells.
Cell Theory 1. All living things are composed of one or more cells. 2. Cells are the basic units of structure, function and organization in living things. 3. All cells are produced from other cells.
Mitochondria The cell's POWERHOUSE. Rod-shaped organelles that convert energy in food to energy the cell can use to carry out its functions. Cells that need more energy, like muscle cells, have a larger number of mitochondria.
Single Celled (unicellular) Organism A living thing that is made up of one cell. This organism can take in and use nutrients to move, live, grow, and reproduce.
Multiple Celled (multicellular) Organism A living thing that is made up of more than one cell which can have many different types and amounts of cells. The cells in this type of organism work together to allow the organism to take in and use nutrients to move, live, grow, and reproduce.
Chloroplast an organelle in the cells of plants that captures energy from sunlight and changes it to an energy form that cells can use in making food: photosynthesis. It is green in color.
Blood A fluid that brings all body parts what they need such as H2O, O2, and nutrients.
Red Blood Cells Have a round, flat, flexible shape. They carry oxygen from the lungs throughout the body.
White Blood Cells sphere-like shape. Aid in responding to diseases and infections.
Platelets Stretch out tentacle-like arms to help clot the blood when a blood vessel is broken or injured
Plasma Carries waste products away from parts of the body.
Bone Cell cells in the body that contribute to the growth, structure, maintenance, and function of the bone tissue.
Muscle Cell cells that are specialized to contract, pull, to stabilize or move parts of the body.
Skin Cell the basic building blocks of the skin; a large, complex organ forms a protective barrier between our insides and the external environment.
Organ a group of tissues in a living organism that has a specific form and function.
System a group of organs that work together to perform one or more functions.
Prokaryote organisms whose cells lack a nucleus and other organelles.
Eukaryote a cell or organism that possesses a clearly defined nucleus. (true nucleus)
DNA the genetic information inside the body's cells that helps make people who they are.
