  1. The eukaryotic DNA is organized in one or more linear molecules, called chromosomes, which are associated with histone proteins. All chromosomal DNA is stored in the cell nucleus, separated from the cytoplasm by a membrane. Some eukaryotic organelles such as mitochondria also contain some DNA.

  2. White fibrous tissue is connective tissue in which there is a greater proportion of white inelastic fibres than of elastic fibres. The dominance of the collagen fibres contributes to the considerable mechanical strength of white fibrous tissue.

  3. White fibrous tissue is an important part of many structures within the body. Its functions can therefore be identified according to the type of structure formed by a particular area of white fibrous tissue.for example ligaments, white fibrous tissue in this case often with a higher proportion of elastin fibres to increase the elasticityextensibility of the tissue with minimal compromise to the mechanical strength of the structure attaches bones to other bones.
    Tendons, white fibrous tissue attaches muscles to bones and/or other structures.
    Membranes, white fibrous tissue protects structures within the body, including for example, organs such as the kidneys in the case of the kidneys, through the membrane forming the capsule of the kidney

  4. Muscle tissue consists of fibers (cells) that are highly specialized for the active generation of force for contraction. Because of this characteristic, muscle tissue provides motion, maintenance of posture, and heat production. Based on certain structural and functional characteristics, muscle tissue is classified into three types: cardiac, smooth and skeletal.

    Explain the role of homeostasis and it's mechanisms as these relate to the body as a whole and predict the consequences of the failure to maintain homeostasis.

    Homeostasis is the ability or tendency of an organism or cell to maintain internal equilibrium by adjusting it's physiological processes. If homeostasis is successful life will continue, if not there will be disasters or death ensues. The control of body temperature in humans is a good example of homeostasis in a biological system. The mechanisms of homeostasis are so ubiquitous, their patterns so subtly. The kidneys perform a vital role in homeostatic regulation in mammals, as it ages, every organism will lose efficiency in its control systems. In most homeostatic mechanisms the control center is the brain. If a warm-blooded animal's homeostasis didn't work then they would more than likely die. Homeostasis controls bodily temperate in ways such as sweating. The maintenance of homeostasis during excercise is principally the job of the circulatory system and respiratory systems. Is homeostasis needed?? Of course!!

  7. White fibrous tissue is an important part of many structures within the body. Its functions can therefore be identified according to the type of structure formed by a particular area of white fibrous tissue.

    Ligaments, white fibrous tissue (in this case often with a higher proportion of elastin fibres to increase the elasticity/extensibility of the tissue with minimal compromise to the mechanical strength of the structure) attaches bones to other bones.

    Tendons, white fibrous tissue attaches muscles to bones and/or other structures.

    Membranes, white fibrous tissue protects structures within the body, including for example, organs such as the kidneys (in the case of the kidneys, through the membrane forming the capsule of the kidney).
    Note that some texts classify these tissues as "dense irregular connective tissues" because the tissue forming some membrane capsules is not arranged with as clearly repeating structure aas that found in e.g. tendons. However, although the arrangement of the tissue structures may differ, their composition (of collagen fibres and fibrocytes) is still very similar

    There are two types of cells: eukaryotic and prokaryotic. Multiple tissue types comprise organs and body structures considered to contain the four tissue types, the manifestation of these tissues can ... For example, the origin of the cells comprising a particular tissue type may differ, Connective tissues are fibrous tissues. They are made up of cells separated.

    A body function Tissues are organized into organs, and organs function together within systems. In roots, epidermal cells have a specialized structure that facilitates water. These cells are responsible for the production and storage of nutrients. ... Xylem tissue contains two types of cells: tracheids and vessel elements.

  10. The cells of a multicellular organism are organized into tissue. Tissues are then combined to form organs such as the stomach, liver, or heart. Organs may be combined to perform a particular task. For example, the organs that function to digest our food include the mouth, tongue, stomach, intestine, and these organs together are known as an organ system. The human body has several organ systems such as the circulatory system, digestive system, nervous system, musculoskeletal system, endocrine system, respiratory system, just to name a few. All these system contain a series of organs that work together to keep the organism alive.

    The epithelial tissues are formed by layers of cells that cover organ surfaces such as the surface of the skin, the airways, the reproductive tract, and the inner lining of the digestive tract. The cells comprising an epithelial layer are linked via semi-permeable, tight junctions; hence, this tissue provides a barrier between the external environment and the organ it covers. In addition to this protective function, epithelial tissue may also be specialized to function in secretion and absorption. Epithelial tissue helps to protect organisms from microorganisms, injury, and fluid loss.

  11. A large central vacuole, a water-filled volume enclosed by a membrane known as the tonoplast[1][2] maintains the cell's turgor, controls movement of molecules between the cytosol and sap, stores useful material and digests waste proteins and organelles.
    A cell wall composed of cellulose and hemicellulose, pectin and in many cases lignin, and secreted by the protoplast on the outside of the cell membrane. This contrasts with the cell walls of fungi (which are made of chitin), and of bacteria, which are made of peptidoglycan.
    Specialised cell-cell communication pathways known as plasmodesmata[3], pores in the primary cell wall through which the plasmalemma and endoplasmic reticulum[4] of adjacent cells are continuous.

  12. is not as well known that the right and left lung are not identical to each other. The lungs are large cone shaped organs which sit on either side of your heart. The apex of the lungs reach as high as your first rib, which is located approximately behind your collarbone (clavicle). The base of the lung reaches as low as the lowest rib you are able to feel under your chest. The bodily function would be breathing. Stratified squamous, non-keratinized Pseudostratified columnar, ciliated Simple cuboidal are all parts of the respitory system.

  14. URINATION Your body takes nutrients from food and uses them to maintain all bodily functions including energy and self-repair. After your body has taken what it needs from the food, waste products are left behind in the blood and in the bowel.The urinary system works with the lungs, skin, and intestines—all of which also excrete wastes—to keep the chemicals and water in your body balanced.

  20. Adipose tissue forms a thick layer under the skin, around the kidneys and in the buttocks.
    More generally, it is found at the same locations throughout the body as areolar connective tissue. this relates to the structure because the thick layers of skin is needed in the buttocks because we are always sitting.

  22. The functions of connective tissues are varied. They are largely responsible for the cohesion of the body as an organism, of organs as functioning units, and of tissues as structural systems. The connective tissues are essential for the protection of the body both in the elaborate defense mechanisms against infection and in repair from chemical or physical injuries. Nutrition of nearly all cells of the body and the removal of their waste products are both mediated through the connective tissues. Connective tissues are important in the development and growth of many structures. Constituting the major environment of most cells, they are probably the major contributor to the homeostatic mechanisms of the body so far as salts and water are concerned. They act as the great storehouse for the body of salts and minerals, as well as of fat. The connective tissues determine in most cases the pigmentation of the body. Finally, the skeletal system (cartilage and bones) plus other kinds of connective tissue (tendons, ligaments, fasciae, and others) makes motion possible.The connective tissues consist of cells and extracellular or intercellular substance (see illustration). The cells include many varieties, of which the following are the most important: fibroblasts, macrophages histiocytes mast cells, plasma cells, melanocytes, and fat cells. Most of the cells of the connective tissue are developmentally related even in the adult; for example, fibroblasts may be developed from histiocytes or from undifferentiated mesenchymal cells.

    Nervous tissue:Humans have about 100 billion neurons in their brain alone! While variable in size and shape, all neurons have three parts. Dendrites receive information from another cell and transmit the message to the cell body. The cell body contains the nucleus, mitochondria and other organelles typical of eukaryotic cells. The axon conducts messages away from the cell body.permission.

  26. The orgin of cells are orginated by many types of tissues(ex) which builds an particular structure

    The endocrine system plays an major role in our daily functions. it regulates growth, movement and development as well as reproduction

    Organs of the endocrine system are pituitary gland, adrenal gland, thyroid gland, gonads: Majority of the organs are responsible for production of horomones and body regulation

  27. Animals are multicellular heterotrophs whose cells lack cell walls. At some point during their lives, all animals are capable of movement, although not all animals have muscles they use for this. In the most commonly encountered animals, the mobile stage is the adult, although some animals (such as corals and sponges) have sessile (or nonmobile) adult phases and mobile juvenile forms. Both animal and plant evolutionary history show the development of multicellularity and the move from water to land (as well as a secondary adaptation back to water, for example dolphins, whales, duckweed, and elodea).

  29. Cells are the basic structural and functional units of the human body & there are many different types of cells (e.g., muscle, nerve, blood, and so on)


    Tissue is a group of cells that perform a specific function and the basic types of tissues in the human body include epithelial, muscle, nervous, and connective tissues

    Functions are similar between cells and tissues because cells with the same function make up tisses.

    The digestive system is composed of the digestive or alimentary tube and accessory digestive organs. The basic terminology used to describe parts of the digestive system is shown below and more detailed description of each is presented in later sections.

  30. the structure and functions of the cells and tissues are specifically related because a group of cells functioning together produce tissue and in return a whole bunch of tissues functioning together produce organs and the organs functioning together make up the organ system and the organ system in return makes up the organisms.a type of connective tissues that helps to bind the body's structures together and provides support is fibrous tissue.It is present in almost every organ, forming a large part of skin, tendons, and muscles. but connective tissues and the types of cells it has varies on where it is located in the body.

  31. cell is the functional basic unit of life.It is the functional unit of all known living organisms.It is the smallest unit of life that is classified as a living thing, and is often called the building block of life.Connective Tissue - There are many types of connective tissue in the body. Generally speaking, connective tissue adds support and structure to the body. Most types of connective tissue contain fibrous strands of the protein collagen that add strength to connective tissue. Some examples of connective tissue include the inner layers of skin, tendons, ligaments, cartilage, bone and fat tissue. In addition to these more recognizable forms of connective tissue, blood is also considered a form of connective tissue.
