5Th Grade Muscles, Tissues And Organs

Front 1

Groups of similar cells that work together to perform a particular function in an organism are called ____________.

Back 1

tissues

Front 2

Tissue that relays messages between the brain and the rest of the body are____________ tissues.

Back 2

nerve

Front 3

Tissue that covers the bodies of some animals is __________ tissue.

Back 3

epithelial

Front 4

The outermost tissue layer on leaves and stems are ___________ tissue.

Back 4

dermal

Front 5

Tissues that hold muscles together and keep the body parts in place are _________ tissue.

Back 5

connective

Front 6

Can muscle tissues be found in the heart?

Back 6

yes

Front 7

Does dermal tissue, or protective or service tissue, form the outermost layer on leaves and stems?

Back 7

yes

Front 8

Do many plant cells, such as those that store sugar and nutrients make up ground tissue?

Back 8

yes

Front 9

Are vascular tissue made up of tightly packed cells that cover an animal's body and make up the internal linings of some animals?

Back 9

no, epithelial tissue does.

Front 10

What are epithelial tissues?

Back 10

Epithelial tissues are made up of tightly packed cells that line the inside of animals' stomachs and the skins of animals. Epithelial tissues protect the body from invading harmful substances and it absorbs nutrients in the intestines.

Front 11

What are connective tissues?

Back 11

The connective tissue makes up the ligaments, hold muscles together, keep parts of the body in place, provide support and protection, transports food and oxygen around the body, and transport cells' wastes. Some examples are fat,cartilage,connective tissue, bones and blood.

Front 12

What are muscle tissues?

Back 12

Muscle tissues can contract and relax. This allows an animal and it's body parts to move. Muscle tissues can move an animals bones, heart, blood vessels, stomach, and intestines.

Front 13

What are nerve tissues?

Back 13

Nerve tissue relay messages between the body and the brain. They tell the body how and when to move, eat, hunt, etc.

Front 14

What are vascular tissues?

Back 14

Vascular tissues are found in plants. They are xylem and phloem, and bring nutrients throughout the plant.

Front 15

What are dermal tissues?

Back 15

Dermal tissues are found in plants. They are also called protective, or surface tissue. It is the outermost tissue layer on leaves, roots and stems. On leaves it is a waxy layer and it prevents water loss. On stems it can be bark, and in both types it performs photosynthesis and protects the plant.

Front 16

What are ground tissues?

Back 16

Ground tissues are found in plants. It is also called fundamental tissue and provides support and performs photosynthesis.

Front 17

Definition of an organ.

Back 17

A structure made up of several different types of tissues that all work together to do a particular job.

Front 18

Describe the lungs.

Back 18

The lungs are breathing organs of animals. The lungs exchange gases and normally there are two. It has all four types of tissue in it, and there are the trachea, lung, and diaphragm

Front 19

Describe the heart.

Back 19

The heart pumps blood throughout the bod and brings oxygen and food to the cells. The heart is made up of all four types of tissues also.

Front 20

Describe the intestine.

Back 20

The intestine is a long tube through which food gets digested. This is also made up of all four tissues.

Front 21

Describe the roots.

Back 21

Plants have organs too. The roots keep the plant anchored, stores food and waste, and absorbs nutrients. Roots consist of all three plant tissues.

Front 22

Describe the stems.

Back 22

Stems support leaves, move food to the leaves and roots, and move water. Stems consist of all three plant tissues.

Front 23

Describe the leaves.

Back 23

Leaves perform photosynthesis, absorb sunlight, and exchange oxygen and carbon dioxide. Leaves consist of dermal and vascular plant tissues.

Front 24

A group of organs that work together to perform a specific job is a/n ___________________________.

Back 24

organ system

Front 25

The system that controls the activities of nearly all the other systems in the body of an animal is a/n ___________________.

Back 25

nervous system

Front 26

The system that moves oxygen and nutrients through and animal's body and carries away cells' waste products is a/n ______________________.

Back 26

circulatory system

Front 27

The system that provides shape and support in the bodies of some animals is the _____________________.

Back 27

skeletal system

Front 28

What is the definition of an organ system?

Back 28

An organ system is a group of organs that work together to perform a particular job.

Front 29

Describe the circulatory system.

Back 29

The circulatory system moves nutrients and oxygen through the body, removes waste, and pumps blood. The organs are the heart and the network of vessels. The blood is pumped around the body, to the heart, gets oxygen, and removes the waste. There are the open and closed systems, and in the open system, the blood moves freely.

Front 30

Describe the skeletal system.

Back 30

The skeletal system provides shape and support for the body, protects the organs, and is made up of bone, with an exception to certain types of animals such as sharks. They have cartilage.

Front 31

Describe the nervous system.

Back 31

The nervous system controls the activities of the organs, and is made up of the spinal cord, brain, and nerve tissue.
