From Cells To Tissues To Organs Flashcards
What are tissues
Specialized cells that are similar in structure and functions are grouped together
What are organs
They are made of tissues that work together to perform a specific task
What are the main types of animal tissue and what do the do
Connective tissue: supports and connects parts of the body
Nervous tissues: transmits and receives nerve impulses
epithelial tissue: covers the surface of your body it also lines inside of organs
Muscle tissue: contracts to cause motion. Cardiac muscle is the muscle that allows you to move.
Main types of plant tissue
Protective tissues : form a covering on most plants that helps prevent water loss and protects the plant
Transport tissues: contain Hollow tube like- cells cells that move food and water through the plant
Photosynthetic tissues: transform the suns energy into sugar
What two other systems do plant organs make
The root system, and the shoot system
Where can the protective tissues, transport tissues and the photosynthetic tissues be found
All of the tissues can be found in the stem leaf or the root organ systems
