make up a system, which provide organisms with an advantage for survival. Systems are the most complex organizations in your body; the progression is from individual cells to tissues to organs and finally systems. (Andrew Rader, 2012) Systems work alone and with other systems to allow your body to maintain homeostasis. Homeostasis is what regulates internal conditions so that they remain stable and constant.
What are Tissues?
Tissues are comprised of individual cells and are one of the main building blocks of an organism. All the cells in a tissue do the same job. There are four basic human tissues, connective tissue, muscle tissue, epithelial tissue and nervous tissue. In each of the types there are different kinds of tissue but they all do a similar job. Connective tissue is simply what

This system is vital to ensure the survival of a species through the production of reproductive cells. Mammals reproduce sexually, with the female being fertilized by the male. The female reproductive system consists of to main parts, the uterus and the ovaries. (Figure 12) The uterus is where the development of the foetus takes place, where vaginal and uterine discharges are produced and where the sperm passes through to the fallopian tubes leading into the ovaries. The ovaries are where the female sex cells are produced. The male reproductive system is made up of 3 main external structure; the penis, scrotum and testicles. The penis is the male organ for sexual intercourse (Cleveland Clinic, 2011). The semen, which contains sperm, is expelled (ejaculated) through the penis. The scrotum is a sac of skin that hangs behind the penis. It contains the testicles as well as nerves and blood vessels. The scrotum acts as a temperature control for the testicles as they need to be at a slightly cooler
1.) 3 structures that constitute the female external genitalia are: a. Mons veneris b. Labia majora c. Labia minora The mons veneris are also known as the mons pubis.
This method of survival is the system that helps keep
Unit 5 Anatomy and Physiology for Health and Social Care P4 Explain the physiology of two named body systems in relation to energy metabolism in the body The two body systems selected in relation to energy metabolism in the body are the digestive system and cardiovascular system. The digestive system breaks down foods and the cardiovascular system enables absorption and usage of the food. The term energy metabolism in the body relates to chemical reactions that that maintain cells and organisms. It is divided into two categories: catabolism is the breakdown of molecules to obtain energy and anabolism the synthesis of all compounds needed by the cells.

My second question was “What kind of functions does ground tissue do?”. There are three different kinds of ground tissue – Parenchyma, Collenchyma, and Sclerenchyma. Each of these has different functions. Parenchyma fills the parts of the plants that are soft. Collenchyma cells are what provides more support to the plant.
Homeostasis is the body's method of keeping internal stability no matter what external influence disturbs its normal functioning (Anna, 2011). And the respiratory system is one of the systems in the body that helps to maintain homeostasis by maintaining pH and regulating gas exchange. The main function of this system is take in oxygen and get rid of carbon dioxide. This system has external respiration and internal respiration. External respiration is a mechanical process that exchange of gases in and out of the body, while internal respiration is the chemical process that breaking down nutrients with oxygen to produce energy.
Bones are made up of 25% water and 75% solids which consists of cells and mineral salts (calcium and phosphorous) Bone Tissue Bone tissue is a hard dense connective tissue. It has a honeycomb type matrix internally which helps to give the bone rigidity. There are two types of bone tissue, cortical bone and cancellous bone. Bone cells develop new bone tissue and continual bone remodelling, maintaining the bones and regulation of minerals in the body.
As human beings our ultimate goal is to reproduce. There are only two species on this Earth: male and female. A male’s responsibility is to fertilize a female’s egg; women need men sperm to reproduce. I agree with the author that men would be treated differently than how women are treated right now. If men could menstruate, I feel that they would gain a much bigger ideal of ego issues parse manhood.
DNA has a massive job of keeping you alive. In essence, a microscopic strand of genes support your entire body and life. There are many smaller jobs protein has to accomplish that combine to accomplish the main job of supporting life. To start, DNA codes for proteins and every protein provide an essential biological function. Also, cells make up tissues, organs, and body systems.

These are oval organs about the measure of substantial olives that lie in the scrotum, secured at either end by a structure called the spermatic rope. Most men have two testicles. The testicles are in charge of making testosterone, the essential male sex hormone. * Prostate gland a gland surrounding the neck of the bladder in male mammals and releasing a fluid component of semen.
Almost half of a human 's body weight is composed of muscle. There are three distinct types of muscle tissue: cardiac muscle, skeletal muscle, and smooth muscle. Each of the muscle tissues have different structures, properties, characteristics, and roles in our body. Properties of muscle tissues include excitability, contractility, extensibility, and elasticity. Contractility is the ability to shorten, which causes movement of the structures to which the muscles are attached.
The ovaries are found only in women. They make the hormones estrogen and progesterone which help develop breasts at puberty, regulate the menstrual cycle, and support a pregnancy. The last gland in the endocrine system are the testes. The testes play a large role in making testosterone and also in making
Each of the organ systems in your body have a certain function, or job. Working together, all of these organ systems make up an organism. In other words, cells make up tissues, tissues make up organs, organs make up organ systems, and organ systems make an organism. To begin with, cells are the basic unit of life.
Reproductive system cancers. By Aaron Brophy There are many different types of cancers and each cancer has different origins, for example nervous system cancers originate in the nervous system. The different forms of cancers also have different treatments which are effective for that specific type but may make other cancers progress more for example proton therapy only works on cancers that have tumors with defined borders.however Reproductive cancers are cancers that affect the reproductive system. There are many different forms of reproductive cancers for both males and females,in both males and females there are ways to diagnose the cancer through different test or exams. For example prostate cancer which affects over 3 million men and the
