Connective tissue includes the bones and tendons.
Epithelial tissue covers the body and lines some internal organs.
Bone tissue, despite its strength, is amazingly light; bones make up
only about one fifth of our weight.
There are two main types of muscle tissue: skeletal muscle tissue,
which is connected to the skeleton, and smooth muscle tissue, which
is found in the internal organs. Around 40% of a mans weight and
20% of a womans weight is made up of skeletal muscle tissue.

trillion cells.
Every part of the body is made up of one kind of cell or another,

Richmond Students Dictionary Bone Tissue

Muscle Tissue
Tissue
Flashcards Tissue is made up of a group of cells that have the same function. For
example, bone tissue is made up of three types of bone cellone to
make bones, one to repair bones and one to remove dead bone cells.
Humans have four types of tissue.
Muscle tissue is made up of cells that contract and relax to produce
movement.
Nervous tissue is found in the brain and spinal cord, as well as the
Posters sense organs.

Connective tissue includes the bones and tendons.
Epithelial tissue covers the body and lines some internal organs.
Bone tissue, despite its strength, is amazingly light; bones make up
only about one fifth of our weight.
There are two main types of muscle tissue: skeletal muscle tissue,
which is connected to the skeleton, and smooth muscle tissue, which
is found in the internal organs. Around 40% of a mans weight and
20% of a womans weight is made up of skeletal muscle tissue.
Bone Muscle
Organs
An organ is a set of tissues that have the same function. Each organ is made
up of several types of tissue. For example, there are three types of bone tissue
in bones: a hard outer tissue, a sponge-like tissue inside bones, and a smooth
tissue at the ends of bones. In the skin, which is also an organ, there is
epithelial tissue, muscle tissue, nervous tissue and connective tissue.
Systems
A system is a set of organs that work together to perform a common
function. There are ten major systems in humans, including the
respiratory, nervous, circulatory, digestive, excretory, skeletal, muscular
and reproductory systems.

Fungi are living things. They are born, grow, reproduce
and die, but they are not plants or animals.
They are not plants because they cannot make their
own food. They absorb nutrients from the remains of
other living things. They are not animals because they
stem do not have sense organs and they cannot move.
Some fungi, such as yeast, are too tiny to see.

Understanding the permanence of matter
1. The three states of matter 39
when there is a change of state
The states of matter are solid, liquid and gaseous.
Each state has different properties.
Hands on
Solids have a fixed volume and shape. For example,
if we put a ball in a bag, the shape of the ball stays the same.
Liquids have a fixed volume, but not a fixed shape.
Liquids take the shape of their container. For example,
if we pour water into a glass, the water takes the shape of the glass.
Gases do not have a fixed volume or a fixed shape.

For example, if a balloon bursts, the air escapes and expands
into the room. It acquires the volume and shape of the room.
