normal physiology makes such disorders easier to understand.
Inorganic chemicals - answers are usually simple molecules made of one or two
elements other than carbon with a few exceptions. Examples: water, oxygen, carbon
dioxide, calcium, and iron.
Organic chemicals - answers always contain the elements carbon and hydrogen. Four
examples: Carbohydrates, proteins, lipids, and nucleic acids.
A tissue - answers is formed when a group of cells with similar structure and function
work together.
Epithelial tissues - answers cover or line body surfaces. Example: Lining of the
stomach and epidermis of the skin.
Connective tissues - answers supports, transports or store materials in parts of the
body. Examples: Blood, bone, cartilage, and adipose tissue.

, Nerve tissues - answers transmits impulses that regulate body functions. Examples:
The brain and spinal cord.
Cells are - answers The smallest living units of structure and function.
Proton - answers has a positive electrical charge and is found in the nucleus (or center)

marrow, provides a framework to be moved by muscles. Body organs are: bones,
ligaments

endocrine system - answers Regulates body functions such as growth and
reproduction by means of hormones. Regulates day-to-day metabolism by means of
hormones. Body organs are: thyroid gland, pituitary gland, ovaries or testes, pancreas
circulatory system - answers Transports oxygen and nutrients to tissues and removes
waste products. Body organs are: heart, blood, arteries, veins
Lymphatic system - answers Returns tissue fluid to the blood and destroys pathogens
that enter the body and provides immunity. Body organs are: spleen, lymph nodes,
thymus gland
Respiratory system - answers Exchanges oxygen and carbon dioxide between the air
and blood. Body organs are: lungs, trachea, larynx, diaphragm
