• a basic tissue type in the body that supports, protects, and connects other tissues and organs. • gives structure to other tissues • It’s made up of cells, fibers, and a gel-like substance. Some examples of connective are: * Bone * Cartilage * Adipose tissue ( fat ) * blood

• known as epithelium tissue forms the lining, covering, and glandular tissue of the body. • one type forms the outer layer of the skin and another type lines the air sacs of the lungs. • the cells in the epithelium tissues are packed tightly together which form continuous sheets which contain no blood vessels. • they are classified according to shape and arrangement.

composed of specialized cells called neurons which receive and send electrical signals in the body and are responsible for coordinating and controlling many body activities. Nervous tissue responds to stimuli and transmits impulses, supporting cells that make up the brain, spinal cord, and nerves.

specialized tissue that has the special ability to shorten or contract to produce the movements of body parts. There are 3 main types of muscle tissue. * Skeletal muscle: long and cylindrical, multi-nucleated, and striated voluntarily * Cardiac muscle: shorter and branched, uninucleated, strained involuntarily, intercalated disk * Smooth muscle: spindle-shaped, uninucleated, non-striated, involuntary

1) cornea 2) iris 3) pupil 4) lens 5) retina

the technology that measures and analyzes individual physical or behavioral characteristics for identification purposes.

measures the pattern of blood vessels in an individual’s eye

captures and measures an individuals step pattern

analyzes specific and unique features of an indvidual’s face

records an individual’s voice using specific phrases or vocal patterns

scans and analyzes vein patterns of a palm

records unique genetic material for identification (gel electrophoresis)

measures and analyzes muscles in the pupil

measures unique ridges of the finger

(deoxyribonucleic acid) * the molecule that carries genetic information in living organisms, determining traits and functions.

1) Long 2) Short 3) Flat 4) Irregular

are longer than they are wide * humerus, femur, ulna, metacarpals, metatarsals, phalanges, tibia, fibula

are nearly equal in length and width; somewhat cube-shaped * carpals & tarsals

are thin and relatively broad; have a large surface area for muscle attachment * Scapula, carnival bones, sternum, ribs

have complex shapes that dont fit easily into any other category * Facial bones and vertebrae

• the long central shaft of a bone • contains yellow bone marrow • made of compact bone
