Cellular Organisation and Types of Tissue

?
Cells
Building blocks of all living organisms. They are the smallest unit of an organism. Plant example- root hair cell. Animal example- red blood cell.
1 of 8
Tissues
A group of cells with similar structure and function working together. Plant example- Xylem tissue (carries water). Muscular tissue (brings about movement).
2 of 8
Organs
Collections of tissues performing specific functions. Plant example- roots. Animal example- pancreas.
3 of 8
Organ Systems
Organs which work together to form organisms. Plant example- Transport system (roots, stem and leaves). Animal example- Digestive system.
4 of 8
Organism
Organ systems which work together. Plant example- tree. Animal example- human.
5 of 8
Glandular Tissue
Contains secretory cells which produce and release enzymes and hormones. It's found near capillaries because your hormones can easily slip into your bloodstream. The digestive system needs it because it releases digestive juices that break down food.
6 of 8
Muscular Tissue
It contracts to bring about movement. They can also conduct electrical impulses.
7 of 8
Epithelial Tissue
Covers the outside of the body and your internal organs to protect them.
