This document provides an outline for a 2-hour English for Medical Purposes lesson on cells and tissues. It includes pronunciation exercises of related terminology, two listening practices involving videos on biological concepts, a picture for students to describe, and speaking activities where students ask and answer questions about cells and human anatomy. The goal is for students to learn essential information about biological structures and their organization in the body through listening, speaking, and discussion exercises.

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. 2. LISTENING PRACTICE
