cells
a colorless, jellylike substance, in which protein, fats, carbohydrates, mineral salts, and water are present
protoplasm
the dense, active protoplasm found in the center of cells; plays an important part in cell reproduction and metabolism
Nucleus
all the protoplasm of a cell except that which is in the nucleus,- the watery fluid that contains food materials necessary for growth, reproduction and self-repair of the cell
cytoplasm
small, round body in the cytoplasm controls the transportation of substances in and out of cells, and affects reproduction of cells
centrosome
the cell wall; a delicate proplasmic material that encloses a living plant or animal cell, and permits soluable substances to enter and leave the cell
cell membrane
cells dividing into 2 new cells; the usual process of cell repduction of human tissues
mitosis
What 5 things do cells need for reproductions?
Adequate supply of food, oxygen, & water. Elimination of wastes & proper temperature
chemical process taking place in living orgainsms whereby the cells are nourished and carry out their activities
metabolism
Constructive metabolism; the process of building up larger molecules from smaller ones; the body sotres water, food, and oxygen for when they are needed for growth and repair
anabolism
The phase of metabolism that involves breaking down of complex compounds within the cells into smaller ones, often resulting in the liberation of energy to perform functions such as muscular effort, secretions or digestion
catabolism
Simultaneous activity of anabolism and catabolism creates:
homeostasis
a collection of similar cells that perform a particular function.
Tissues
Tissues are composed of:
60% to 90% water
What are the 5 types of tissues?
Connective, epithelial, liquid, muscular & nerve
tissue that serves to support, protect, and bind together other tissues of the body
Connective Tissue

this tissue carrys food, waste products and hormones by means of the blood and lymph
liquid tissue
This tissue contracts and moves various parts of the body
muscular
This tissue carries messages to and from the brain, and controls and coordinates all body functions
