10. tissue group of cells that act together to perform a specific function
11. 4 fundamental tissues 1: epithelial
2: connective
3: muscle
4: nervous
12. function of epithelial tissue cover, line, & protect the body & its internal organs
13. function of connective tissue it is the framework of the body; provides support and struc-
ture for the organs

(belly & back)
19. sagittal plane divides into right and left halves
20. cell basic unit of life & the building block of tissues & organs
21. what has a specific function organelles
within the cell?
22. what does the nucleus contain deoxyribonucleic acid
within the cell? (DNA)
23. what is especially important in the nucleus (contains DNA) & ribosomes
the synthesis of proteins?
24. what do proteins include? the enzymes that regulate all chemical reactions inside the
body
25. Mitosis necessary for growth and repair
26. What happens during mitosis? DNA is duplicated & distributed evenly to 2 daughter cells
27. Meiosis the special cell division that takes place in the gonads
(ovaries & testes)
28. what happens during meiosis? the chromosome # is reduced from 46 to 23 so that when
the egg & sperm unite in fertilization, the zygote will have the
correct # of chromosomes
