Introduction
My aim for this report is that I explain what the cell components; tissues and the human body
systems do. In full detail, I’m going to be explaining the functions of the main cell components as
well as the structure of the main tissues of the body.
Cell components, tissues and the human body system
Cell membrane
A cell membrane is a very thin membrane which surrounds the cytoplasm of the cell. All cells contain
a cell membrane. The cell membranes function is to control the movement of substances in and out
of the cell. A cell membrane is found both in animals and plants.
Nucleus
The nucleus controls what happens inside the cell. It has a genetic material which allows it to control
the activities that are occurring inside the cell. Majority of the times the nucleus is in the centre of
the cell also the nucleus will always be in the middle of the cytoplasm. The nucleus also contains
DNA (Deoxyribonucleic acid) which are made up of long DNA molecules.
