Our Cells are the Building Blocks ~ That Heal Themselves

• They are the building blocks of our bodies
• We have trillions of cells
• They provide structure for our bodies
• Our cells are fed nutrients from our food
• Cells convert these nutrients into energy
• Our cells carry out specialized instructions

The 9 different parts of our cells:

• Cytoplasm ~ jelly-like fluid surrounding the nucleus of the cell
• Cytoskeleton ~ network of strong fibers making up the cell's structural network
• ER (Endo-Plasmic Reticulum) ~ helps process molecules created by the cell
• Golgi Apparatus ~ packages molecules processed by (ER) to be transported out of the cell
• Lysosomes & and Perixsomes ~ recycling center of the cell ~ rid the cell of toxic substances and recycle worn-out cell components

• Mitochondria ~ converts energy from food into a form the cell can use

• Nucleus ~ Our cell's command center sends directions to our cells to grow, mature, divide, or die
• Plasma Membrane ~ the outer lining of our cells ~ separates our cells from our environment ~ and allows materials to enter and leave
• Ribosomes ~ process the cell's genetic instructions to create proteins
