Resource summary
tissues, organs + organ systems
organs in animals
tissues
during the development of a multicellular organism, cells differentiate so they can carry out different functions
differentiation is when a cell becomes a specialised type of cell
a tissue is a group of specialised cells that have a similar structure + function
the diagram above shows some examples of tissues + their functions
organs
organs are made of tissues
a particular organ may contain several different tissues
e.g. the stomach contains: muscular tissue, glandular tissue and epithelial tissue
the digestive system
organ systems are groups of organs that carry out a particular function
the human body has several organ systems, including: nervous system, respiratory system, reproductive system, digestive system
the digestive system is an example of an organ system in which humans use and other mammals exchange substances with the environment
the digestive systems main tissues and organs:
pancreas and salivary glands
stomach
liver
small intestine
large intestine
organs in plants
plants are multicellular organisms, like animals
they usually contain differentiated cells, tissues and organs
organs
examples of plant organs include:
roots
stems
leaves
leaves are adapted to absorb sunlight for photosynthesis
