Cells are the
fundamental units
of
life
, each designed to perform
specialised functions
through a process called
DIFFERENTIATION.
These specialised cells combine to form
TISSUES
, which then group to create
ORGANS.
Multiple organs work together to form
ORGAN SYSTEMS
within larger
multicellular
organisms.
TISSUES:
group of similar
cells
with similar
structures
and
function
that
work together
to carry out
specific jobs.
TISSUE EXAMPLE:
Muscular tissue: Responsible for movement by
contracting
and
relaxing.
Glandular tissue:
Produces
and
releases
substances like
enzymes
and
hormones.
Epithelial tissue:
Covers
the
surfaces
of the body, such as the
inside
of the
gut.
ORGANS:
complex structures
composed of
different tissues
, each
contributing
to the organ's
overall function.
e.g: the HEART is an
organ
that
contains muscular tissue
for
PUMPING BLOOD
around
the
body
ORGAN SYSTEM
group of
ORGANS
working together to perform
complex functions
for the organism's
survival.
e.g: The
CIRCULATORY
SYSTEM is an example of an
organ system
