cells - answer--The smallest living units capable of carrying out their own basic
life functions.
four broad categories of cells - answer--neurons, muscle, epithelial, and
connective tissue.
basement membrane - answer--A noncellular material associated with
epithelial cells.
epithelial cells - answer--Cells found in the linings of hollow organs that
separate fluids in the interior cavity from surrounding body fluids.
lumen - answer--The interior cavity of a hollow organ or vessel.
muscle tissue - answer--The tissue type that generates mechanical force and
movement, controlled both voluntarily and involuntarily.
glands - answer--Derived from epithelial tissue.
,muscle - answer--A type of tissue that is responsible for the movement of the
body.
connective - answer--A category of tissue that supports, binds together, and
protects tissues and organs of the body.
epithelial - answer--A type of tissue that covers body surfaces and lines
cavities.
nerve - answer--A type of tissue that transmits impulses throughout the body.
reticular - answer--A type of connective tissue that forms a supportive
framework for organs.
blood - answer--A fluid connective tissue that transports nutrients, gases, and
waste products.
bone - answer--A rigid connective tissue that forms the skeleton and supports
the body.
fat - answer--A type of connective tissue that stores energy and provides
insulation.
lymph - answer--A fluid connective tissue involved in immune responses.
,neurons - answer--Cells that transmit nerve impulses.
muscle cells - answer--Cells that make up muscle tissue.
epithelial cells - answer--Cells that make up epithelial tissue.

endocrine cells - answer--Cells that secrete hormones into the bloodstream.
extracellular matrix - answer--The noncellular material that holds the widely
scattered cells of connective tissue together.
collagen - answer--A protein found in connective tissue that provides tensile
strength to resist stretching.
elastin - answer--A protein in connective tissue that allows tissues to resume
their shape after stretching.
basement membrane - answer--A thin layer of fibrous material that anchors
epithelial tissue to underlying connective tissue.
tendons - answer--Structures that attach muscle to bone.
, ligaments - answer--Structures that connect bone to bone.
aponeuroses - answer--Broad, flat tendons that connect muscles to the parts
they move.
organs - answer--Structures composed of two or more tissues that work
together to perform specific functions.
cells - answer--The basic structural and functional units of living organisms.
tissues - answer--Groups of similar cells that perform a specific function.

complex functions.
absorption - answer--The uptake of nutrients across the epithelial cells of the
gastrointestinal tract and into the bloodstream.
endocrine - answer--The organ system that includes glands that secrete
hormones.
gastrointestinal system - answer--A system involved in the digestion and
absorption of food.
