Chapter 7 Body management Our body is made up of the smallest living unit cell. These cells are in infinite numbers in human body, which can only be seen by refined microscopes. These cells have the capacity to reproduce and grow. It is a unique phenomenon that the human body is created by the unique combination of two cells only i.e. ova and sperm but until there is any expression or effect of that divinity, any creation cannot proceed. Structure of a cell- Every ceU is made up of a jelly like substance called cytoplasm. _____ Brain In the center of the cytoplasm is a nucleus. Around the cell, there is a thin covering called the cell membrane. The nucleus is an important part of a ceU which controls its structure, reproduction power and other activities. In this nucleus are the genes which r~H-~--+-- Stomach are made up of DNA. These Spleen Pancreas genes are the carrier of hereditary traits from one generation to the other. Sma. Intestine Through these genes only, Urinary one cell reproduces into other Bladder cells. These cells during the stages of growth, get de- stroyed and instead new cells are continuously formed. Similar kinds of multiple cells join to form a tissue. Structure of a tissue- In the human body, there are different kind of cells for different kinds of activities. A group of similar kind of cells is called a tissue. Similar kinds of tissues unite of form specific organs of the body for example, in the formation of brain, nerve cells are utilized. These cells first make a tissue which later on form the brain and nervous system. Similarly the muscular tissue form the muscles of the body. According to their structures, tissues are of different types for example the connective tissue which joins the different parts of the body, the bone tissue which forms the bone, epithelial tissue forms the upper layers of the skin and different parts. Many tissues combine to form the organs and body systems from which the whole physical body is created.
