We have to start with the atom which is the minimal unit that conform a substance,
the atoms gather in crowds and form a molecule, these molecules conform a cell.
All the organisms consist of basic units called cells; they are able to live independently,
unicellular or to form part of an organization, multicellular, if they are in a organization
they form tissues, organs, and systems.
Structural:
Individuality: All the cells have a plasmatic membrane, which separates them and
communicates them with the exterior, controls the cellular movements and supports
the electrical potential.
They contain a way hidrosalino, the cytoplasm that occupies most of the cellular
volume and contains the cellular organelles.
Self-governing: They have Open DNS with all the hereditary material of the genes.
Enzymes and other proteins that help to the functioning of the cellular machinery.
Nutrition: The cells obtain materials of the way, transform and absorb nutrients and
eliminate waste in a process of metabolism.
Growth: A cell grows and all that divides, forming an equal cell to the original one, in a
process called cellular division.
Differentiation: This process treats itself about the formation of new functions and
structures, when a cell differs functions and structures begin to appear and others
start to disappear.
The epithelial tissue, it re-dresses the surface of the body, drapes cavities and forms
glands.
Connective tissue, It sustains to other three tissues. The principal characteristic is its
intercellular substance, which is abundant and gives it the particular characteristics to
the connective tissue. This one is produced by the cells that, in this tissue, are very
separated between them.
Muscular tissue, It is defined by the functional capacity that it possesses, that is the
contractile function.
The Neurons receive and process the information of the external and internal way and
can associate with specific organs to realize this work.
Circulatory system serves to take the nutrients and the oxygen to the cells and to
gather the metabolic waste that have to be eliminate later.
The digestive system is the one that takes charge digesting the food that we take,
making them suitable in order that they could be absorbed and then assimilated.
The excretory system eliminates the toxic residues that produce the cells.
The reproductive system the set of organs of our body that serve to reproduce that is
the aptitude of all the alive beings to form descendants from the same species.
The muscular system It is the set of more than 650 muscles of the body, which
function is to generate movement.
The osseous system is formed for a set of solid structures called bones, the skeleton of
an adult human being has, approximately, 206 bones.
The nervous system determines the functioning of our organism modulates and adapts
conducts and supports us in a balance with the environment that surrounds us.
The endocrine system is a set of organs and tissues that liberate substances called
hormones.
