How are
cells organized in the body
The body has levels of organization that build on each
other. Cells make up tissues, tissues make up organs, and
organs make up systems. The function of an system
depends on the integrated activity of its organs.
A multicellular organisms grow, cells divide to
produce new cells. The first cells made can become
any type of cell, such as a muscle cell, a nerve cell,
or a blood cell, through the process of cell
Tissues
Cells group together to form
tissues.
Tissues are groups of similar
types of cells that work together
to carry out specific tasks.
Humans, like most other
animals, have four main types of
tissue-muscle, connective,
nervous, and epithelial.
Muscle tissue

Causes movement Connective tissue provides structure and


support and often connects other types of tissue together.
Nervous system
Nervous tissue carries messages to and from the brain.
Epithelial tissue
Epithelial tissue forms the protective outer layer of the skin and the
internal lining of the body
Organs
Organs are groups of different tissues working together to perform
a particular job. For example, your stomach is an organ specialized
for breaking down food. It is made of all four types of tissue:
muscle, epithelial, nervous, and connective. Each type of tissue
performs a specific function necessary for the stomach to work
properly. Layers of muscle tissue contract and break up pieces of
food, epithelial tissue lines the stomach, nervous tissue sends
signals to indicate the stomach is full, and connective tissue
supports the stomach wall.
Plants also have organs.
Leaves are organs specialized for photosynthesis. Each leaf is
made of dermal, ground, and vascular tissues.
Dermal tissue covers the outer surface of a leaf.
ground tissue that produces food for the rest of the plant.
Ground tissue is where photosynthesis takes place.
The ground tissue is tightly packed on the top half of a leaf.
The vascular tissue moves both the food produced by
photosynthesis and water throughout the leaf and the rest of the
plant.
