  • Principles of Organisation
    • Cells
      • Tissues
        • Organs
          • Organ Systems
            • Organ systems are groups of organs working together to perform a particular function
            • The digestive system is made of many organs
              • Glands
                • Eg. the pancreas and salivary glands which produce digestive juices
              • Stomach
                • Digest food
              • Liver
                • Produces bile
              • Small intestine
                • Digestsfood and absorbs soluble food molecules
              • Large intestine
                • Absorbs water from undigested food leaving faeces
          • Organs are a group of different tissues that work together to carry out a function
          • The stomach is made of three tissues
            • Glandular tissue
              • Makes digestive juices to digest food
            • Muscular tissue
              • Moves the stomach wall to churn up food
            • Epithelial tissue
              • Covers the outside and inside of the stomach.
        • A tissue is a group of similar cells that work together to carry out a function.
          • It can include more than one type of cell.
        • Muscular tissue
          • Contracts to move what it is attached to
        • Glandular tissue
          • Makes and secretes chemicals like enzymes and hormones
        • Epithelial tissue
          • Covers some parts of the body like the inside of the gut
      • Cells are the building blocks of living organisms
