1. Tissues provide for a
division of labor among
body cells.
Cells carry out all the
chemical activities
needed to sustain life.

3. Cells vary greatly in SIZE
and STRUCTURE.
Cells have two main
parts - NUCLEUS &
CYTOPLASM
Enclosed in a CELL
MEMBRANE (also called
PLASMA MEMBRANE)

General Characteristics:
▲ Found throughout the body, covers all body surfaces
both inside and out.
▲ Main glandular tissue.
▲ Attached to underlying connective tissue by
noncellular nonliving basement membrane.
▲ Usually has no vascular tissue - blood supply
▲ Cells reproduce rapidly (rapid healing).
▲ Cells tightly packed together

General Characteristics:
▲ Most abundant tissue in your body, found throughout
▲ Binds structures together
▲ Provides support, protection, framework, fills space,
stores fat, produces blood cells, fights infection, and
helps repair tissue.
▲ Composed of more scattered cells with abundant
intercellular material ' matrix
▲ Made up of a ground substance (fluid, semi-solid) and
fibers
▲ Most has a good blood supply
▲ Cells can reproduce

10. CELLS
Cells are too small to be
seen without magnification.
There are two primary
types of cells.
Prokaryotic single-celled
organisms were the earliest
and most primitive
There are more bacterial
cells in the body than
human cells.
Cells contain genetic
material.
TISSUES
Muscle tissue is three times
more efficient at burning
calories than fat.
For every pound of fat gained,
you add seven miles of new
blood vessels.
There are more than 600
individual skeletal muscles and
206 bones in your body.
You are taller in the morning
than in the evening.
Your stomach manufactures a
new lining every three days to
avoid digesting itself.
