Tissues, Organs, Organ System Flashcards
WHY ARE ORGAN SYSTEMS DEVELOPED?
Large multicellular organisms need to exchange materials with their environment and develop systems to do so
WHAT IS CELL DIFFERENTIATION ?
CELLS BECOME SPECIALISED
During the development of a multicellular organism, cells differentiate so that they can carry out different functions
WHAT IS A TISSUE?
A tissue is a group of specialised cells that have similar structures and functions
3 TYPES OF TISSUES AND THEIR FUNCTIONS?
Muscular Tissue
• contracts, bringing out movement
Glandular Tissue
• produces substances such as enzymes and hormones
Epithelial tissues
• covers some parts of the body
3 TISSUES AND THEIR FUNCTIONS IN THE STOMACH !!!
Muscular tissue —churns food
Glandular tissue — produces digestive juiced including acid and enzymes
Epithelial tissue - covers the inner and outer surfaces of the stomach
WHAT IS THE ORGAN SYSTEM
The organ system is a group of organs that work together to carry out a particular function
4 TYPES OF ORGAN SYSTEMS
- Nervous system
- respiratory system
- digestive system
- reproductive system
The function of:
PANCREAS AND THE SALIVARY GLANDS
Produces digestive juices and enzymes called amylase
Function of:
THE STOMACH
DIGESTS FOOD
Function of:
THE LIVER
Produces bile
Function of:
SMALL INTESTINES
Digests and absorbs soluble food
Function of:
LARGE INTESTINE
absorbs water from undigested food, producing faeces
PLANTS ARE MULTICELLULAR ORGANISMS
True or false?
TRUE
WHAT ARE THE 3 MAIN ORGANS OF A PLANT?
- STEM (supports, elevates leaves, transports fluids between roots and shoots - Xylem and phloem)
- ROOTS (To absorb and deliver water and nutrients, acts as an anchor
- LEAVES (helps plant produce food
3 PLANT TISSUES
• epidermal tissue
Cover the plant
• mesophyll
Carries out photosynthesis
• xylem and phloem
Transports substances around the plant
