original properties of the element. They combine to form molecules
, 2
Molecules - correct-answer - a chemical bonding of atoms. They combine to form
cells!!!
Organs - correct-answer - Two or more tissue types that work together to perform
a specific function
What are the four types of tissue? - correct-answer - epithelial, connective,
muscular, and nervous
Epithelial tissue - correct-answer - Provides covering or produce secretions.
Commonly exists in layers and does not have its own blood supply. Because of
this, it depends on nearby capillaries for food and oxygen, via diffusion.
What are the two TYPES of epithelial tissue? - correct-answer - 1. Simple
epithelium = One layer of cells. Found in body structures where absorption,
secretion, and filtration occur.
2. Stratified epithelium = Multiple layers of cells. Serves as protection
What are the three SHAPES of epithelial tissue? - correct-answer - Squamous,
cuboidal, and columnar
, 3
What body parts are made of connective tissue? - correct-answer - tendons,
ligaments, bones, blood, and adipose (fat). Some connective tissues, such as
ligaments, do not have their own blood supply.
tendon - correct-answer - strong connective tissue that attaches muscle to bone
Ligament - correct-answer - strong connective tissue that attaches bone to bone
What are the three types of muscle tissue? - correct-answer - 1. Skeletal =
Supports voluntary movements connected to bones in the skeletal system
2. Cardiac = Found in heart. Under Involuntary control
3. Smooth = Found in walls of hollow organs such as intestines, blood vessels,
bladder, and uterus. Also under involuntary control
Nervous tissue makes up the... - correct-answer - Brain, spinal cord, and nerves
The circulatory system is made up of what? What is its function? - correct-answer
- The heart, blood vessels, and blood. Circulates and distributes various
substances throughout the body such as oxygen, hormones, and nutrients from
food
, 4
The digestive system consists of... - correct-answer - All the organs from mouth to
the anus. This includes the esophagus, stomach, small and large intestines,
rectum, liver, pancreas, and anus.
What is the function of the digestive system? - correct-answer - Indigestion and
breakdown of food. MANUFACTURES ENZYMES that break down food so nutrients
can be passed into the blood and then into the body
what parts is the small intestine made of, and what is its function? - correct-
answer - The small intestine is made up of the duodenum, jejunum and ileum. It is
the site for nutrition absorption.
ABSORBS NUTRIENTS
What is the function of the colon? - correct-answer - the colon removes WATER
from the waste that remains after absorption by the small intestine.
REMOVES WATER
What is the function of the liver? - correct-answer - The liver produces bile that
helps break down fats.
PRODUCES BILE
What is the function of the pancreas? - correct-answer - The pancreas delivers
enzymes to the small intestine that aid in digestion
