A muscle whose action is NOT controlled by an individual.* (For example, smooth muscles) |
|
Voluntary Muscles* |
A muscle whose action is normally controlled by an individual.* (For example, Skeletal muscles) |

Tissue** |
A group of similar cells working together to form this.** |
|
Organ** |
A collection of tissues that work together to carry out a specialized function in the body.** |
|
Muscle Tissue** |
This helps your stomach digest food by breaking up food.** |
|

This tissue send electrical signals through the body.** |
|
Muscular Tissue** |
This tissue produces movement.** |
|
How does your body know when your stomach is full?*
|
Your brain reacts to chemicals released from putting food/drink in your stomach. The levels rise giving the feeling of being full depending on how much food/drink.* |
|
What can happen to cells if homeostasis is disrupted?** |
Cells may die, cells may not get needed materials or cells may be damaged.** |
|
Cells |
Your body has many kinds of these to maintain homeostasis.** |
|
How does your body know when your stomach is full?** |
Nervous tissue sends out signals to your brain.** |
|
Collagen** |
The wall of the stomach contains blood and this other connective tissue.** |
|
Epithelial Tissue* |
The inside of the stomach is lined with this kind of tissue.* |
|
Organ Systems** |
Organs work together to make this system up. |
|
Cardiovascular System** |
The system that includes the heart and blood vessels.** |
|
Urinary System* |
The system that removes wastes from the blood.* |
|
Endocrine System* |
The system that sends out chemical messages.* |
|
Integumentary System* |
The system that includes the skin.* |
|
Circulatory System |
The system that includes the heart, blood vessels, and blood.* |
|
Skeletal System* |
The system that supports and protects body parts.* |
|
Lymphatic System* |
The system that helps defend against disease.* |

The system that produces eggs and protects the fetus.* |
|
Nervous System* |
The system that sends and receives throughout the body.* |
|
How do the organ systems (cardiovascular and circulatory) work together to maintain homeostasis?* |
The cardiovascular and the circulatory systems work together by the heart pumping blood which uses veins, arteries, and to deliver the blood throughout the body.* |
|
Compact Bone* |
The type of bone tissue that is rigid and dense; provides most of the strength for bones.* |
|
Spongy Bone* |
The type of bone tissue that has many open spaces; contains small blood vessels.* |

Skin* |
This keeps water in your body and foreign particles out of your body. |
|
Nerves |
This causes you to feel things that are around you. |
