6 conclusion
The steps of data collection
1 observation
2 measurement

4 organization
Deductive reasoning
Method whereby conclusions follow from general principles. Leads to a specific
conclusion.
Inductive reasoning
Method of arriving at general principles from specific facts. Conclusion is formed by
information that is most likely true
Atoms
The smallest part of an element that still retains all the original properties of the
element. They combine to form molecules
Molecules
a chemical bonding of atoms. They combine to form cells!!!
Organs
Two or more tissue types that work together to perform a specific function
What are the four types of tissue?
epithelial, connective, muscular, and nervous
,Epithelial tissue
Provides covering or produce secretions. Commonly exists in layers and does not have
its own blood supply. Because of this, it depends on nearby capillaries for food and
oxygen, via diffusion.
What are the two TYPES of epithelial tissue?
1. Simple epithelium = One layer of cells. Found in body structures where absorption,
secretion, and filtration occur.
2. Stratified epithelium = Multiple layers of cells. Serves as protection
What are the three SHAPES of epithelial tissue?
Squamous, cuboidal, and columnar
What body parts are made of connective tissue?
tendons, ligaments, bones, blood, and adipose (fat). Some connective tissues, such as
ligaments, do not have their own blood supply.
tendon
strong connective tissue that attaches muscle to bone
Ligament
strong connective tissue that attaches bone to bone
What are the three types of muscle tissue?
1. Skeletal = Supports voluntary movements connected to bones in the skeletal system
2. Cardiac = Found in heart. Under Involuntary control
3. Smooth = Found in walls of hollow organs such as intestines, blood vessels, bladder,
and uterus. Also under involuntary control
Nervous tissue makes up the...
Brain, spinal cord, and nerves
The circulatory system is made up of what? What is its function?
The heart, blood vessels, and blood. Circulates and distributes various substances
throughout the body such as oxygen, hormones, and nutrients from food
The digestive system consists of...
, All the organs from mouth to the anus. This includes the esophagus, stomach, small
and large intestines, rectum, liver, pancreas, and anus.
What is the function of the digestive system?
Indigestion and breakdown of food. MANUFACTURES ENZYMES that break down food
so nutrients can be passed into the blood and then into the body
what parts is the small intestine made of, and what is its function?
The small intestine is made up of the duodenum, jejunum and ileum. It is the site for
nutrition absorption.
ABSORBS NUTRIENTS
What is the function of the colon?
the colon removes WATER from the waste that remains after absorption by the small
intestine.
REMOVES WATER
What is the function of the liver?
The liver produces bile that helps break down fats.
PRODUCES BILE
What is the function of the pancreas?
The pancreas delivers enzymes to the small intestine that aid in digestion
DELIVERS ENZYMES
What is the function of the endocrine system?
The endocrine system controls body functions such as growth and metabolism. It is
made up of glands that secrete hormones to the blood, then to organs, then to the rest
of the body.
what are the glands of the endocrine system?
the pineal, pituitary, thalamus, hypothalamus, thyroid, thymus, and adrenal glands.
