ELA/SCIENCE Vocab
1. Single Cell – an organism that consists of only one cell
2. multi-cellular – an organism that consists of more than one cell
3. Cardiovascular - Relating to the circulatory system, which comprises the heart and blood vessels
4. Circulatory System - carries nutrients and oxygen to the tissues of the body and removes carbon dioxide and
other wastes from them
5. Digestive System - begins with the mouth and extends through the esophagus, stomach, small intestine, and
large intestine, ending with the rectum and anus.
6. Muscular System - organ system consisting of skeletal, smooth and cardiac muscles. It permits movement of
the body, maintains posture, and circulates blood throughout the body.
7. Skeletal System - The framework of the body, consisting of bones and other connective tissues, which
protects and supports the body tissues and internal organs.
8. Nervous System - the network of nerve cells and fibers that transmits nerve impulses between parts of the
body.
9. Inherited Traits - controlled by genes and the complete set of genes within an organism's genome is called its
genotype.
10. permeable – able to pass through something (such as a membrane or cell wall)
11. hinge joint - joint that allows movement in a certain spot, like the opening and closing of a door; example:
elbow, knee, ankle
12. ligaments - tissues that connect bones, hold organs in place
13. cerebellum – large portion of the brain that control voluntary movements
14. spinal cord - cord of nerve tissue extending through the spinal column and protected by the vertebrae of the
spine/backbone
15. aerobic exercise – exercise that increases the need for oxygen
