    Epithelial
  • What is a cell whose structure suits its function?
    A specialized cell
  • What is an embryo?
    A human fetus in its earliest stage of development
  • What is the purpose of the xylem in the vascular system of a plant?

  • Which tissue supports and connects other tissues?
    Connective
  • What is the function of the axon terminals in a neuron?
    They send out the message to the next neuron
  • Where are adult stem cells found?

  • Cells make up tissues, tissues make up _______.
    Organs
  • What is the dermal tissue in plants?
    Outer protective layer of the the roots, stems, leaves, flowers, fruits, and seeds; one cell layer thick, and its cells lack chloroplasts
  • What is the function of the axon in a neuron?
