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
