organisation of cells

Cards (5)

    • 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
