-
Consist of cells arranged in continuous sheets, in either single of multiple layers. Forms covering and lining throughout the body
Epithelial tissue/ Epithelium
-
Protects and supports the body and its organs. Bind organs together, store energy reserves as fat, and help provide the body with immunity to disease causing organism
Connective tissue
-
The sum of all chemical processes that occur in the body;all the biochemical reactions that occur within an organism, including the synthetic (anabolic) reactions and decomposition (catabolic) reactions
Metabolism
-
Throwing down; the breakdown of complex chemical substances into simpler components
Catabolism
-
The building up of complex chemical substances from smaller, simpler components; Synthetic energy requiring reactions whereby small molecules are built into larger ones. For example, digest process catabolize (split)
Anabolism
-
Are groups of cells and the materials surrounding them that work together to perform a particular function, similar to the way words are put together to form sentences
Tissue
-
Are structures that are composed of two or more different types of tissues; they have specific functions and usually have recognizable shapes.
Organ
-
Is a cycle of events in which the status of the body condition is monitored, evaluated, changed, remonitored, reevaluated, and so on. (components: receptor, control center, effector)
Feedback system
-
Is a body structure that monitors changes in a controlled condition and sends inout to control center.
Receptor
-
reverses a change in a controlled condition (ex: Blood temperature, body pressure)
negative feedback system
-
tends to strength or reinforce a change in one of the body's controlled condition. (blood formation, childbirth,
positive feedback systems
