1. PRONUNCIATION EXERCISES
Most cells can be seen only with a microscope. They are
microscopic in size. A few are relatively large and can be seen
without a microscope. Cells differ in shape as well as in size, they
are all similar in composition and structure.
All cells are made up of protoplasm, and most of them have a
nucleus. The nucleus controls the life activities in the cell. The
protoplasm outside the nucleus is the cytoplasm. In plants and
some animals, cytoplasm often contains vacuoles. A vacuole is a
cavity that is filled with watery liquid. Vacuoles hold food until it
is digested and help eliminate excess water from the cell.
1. PRONUNCIATION EXERCISES
The outer layer of skin is composed of epithelial tissue, also
called epithelium. Epithelium also forms glands and lines organs
inside the body, such as the stomach.
Connective tissue serves the important function of connecting
other tissues to each other and to the bones of the skeleton which
support and protect the body. The skeleton itself is built of a special
kind of connective tissue. Another type of connective tissue
produces blood cells.
Muscles make possible all of the movements necessary for life
activities. Muscular tissue is composed of long, thin cells, fibers,
which can contract and relax. Connective tissue connects these
muscle cells to bones.
