  • Stem cells

    Cells which have the potential to become any type of cell

  • Differentiation

    Name of process where stem cells develop into specific cells

  • Multicellular

    Generic name for an organism which has more that one cell

  • Tissue

    Name for a group of cells which have the same structure and function, working together

  • Organ

    Name for several tissues working together to perform a specific function

  • Neuron

    Nerve cell

  • Cardiac

    Name of muscle found in the heart which contracts rhythmically

  • Levels of organisation

    1. Chemical level. 2. Cellular level. 3. Tissue level. 4. Organ level. 5. System level. 6. Organism level.

  • Skeletal muscle

    Attached to the skeleton. Capable of contracting and relaxing. Voluntary control

  • Smooth muscle

    Located in walls of hollow visceral organs, except the heart, appear spindle-shaped and are also under involuntary control

  • Cardiac muscle

    Walls of the heart, appear striated and are under involuntary control

  • Skeletal (striated)

    Under voluntary control. Striated appearance is due to protein fribrils contained within the fused muscle cells

  • Smooth

    Contracts involuntarily and forms the walls of many hollow organs

  • Cardiac

    Only found in the heart

  • Epithelial tissue

    Sit on basement membrane made of collagen and protein

  • Squamous epithelium shape

    Flattened cells on a basement membrane

  • Squamous epithelium location

    Form walls of aveoli in the lungs and line the bowman's capsule of the kidney nephron

  • Cuboidal epithelium shape

    Cubed shape on basement membrane

  • Cuboidal epithelium location

    Found in kidney nephron

  • Columnar epithelium shape

    Column shape on basement membrane. Cells have cilia if lining a tube which substances such as eggs will move through. They are then known as ciliated columnar epithelial cells

  • Columnar epithelium location

    Found lining trachea and the ovaries

  • Connective tissue function

    Binds and supports tissues

  • Connective tissue structure

    Consists of cells, elastic and collagen fibres

  • Organ system

    A group of organs working together with a particular role
