False · Most individual body cells are too small to see clearly with your eyes alone. A microscope makes them look larger.
A cell · A cell is the body's smallest living unit. Tissues and organs contain many cells.
Cell, tissue, organ, organ system · Cells form tissues. Different tissues form organs. Organs work together in organ systems.
An organ, such as the heart · Different tissues work together to form an organ. The heart is one example.
A tissue · A tissue is a group of similar cells working together. An organ contains different tissues.
It makes a small cell look larger. · A microscope makes tiny cells look larger. It does not turn a cell into a tissue or an organ.
An organ system: organs work together. · The heart and blood vessels work together in the circulatory system. Their team is an organ system.
What each body part is made of. · The building order describes how cells, tissues and organs fit together. What a part is made of helps identify its level. Its length does not.
