Structures and Functions of Animal Tissues and Cell Modification Flashcards
New properties arise with each step upward the hierarchy of life.
Emergent Properties
Include all atoms and molecules
Chemical Level
The basic structural and functional units of an organization
Cellular Level
Are group of cells that usually arise from common cells and work together to perform a particular function
Tissue Level
Different kind of tissues combined
Organ Level
A system consists of several related organs that have a common function
System Level
The largest level. All parts of body functioning with one another comprise the total organism
Organismic Level
This type of tissue is commonly seen outside the body as coverings or as linings of organs and cavities. Characterized by closely-joined cells with tight junctions.
Epithelial Tissue
Epithelial Tissue for secretion
Cuboidal
Epithelial Tissue that are brick-shaped cells; for secretion and active absorption
Simple Columnar
Epithelial Tissue that are plate-like cells; for exchange of material through diffusion
Simple Squamous
Epithelial Tissue that is multilayered and regenerates quickly; for protection
Stratified Squamous
Epithelial Tissue that are single layer of cells; may just look stacked because of varying height; for lining of respiratory tract; usually lined with cilia
Pseudo-Stratified Columnar
Tissue that’s composed of Blood, Connective Tissue Proper (CTP), Cartilage, and Bone
Connective Tissue
Made up of plasma; contains water, salts, and dissolved proteins
Blood
