Study Notes

  • Stem cells are undifferentiated cells able to specialize into various cell types.

Animal Tissues

  • Epithelial tissue covers body surfaces and lines organs, such as skin and the digestive tract lining.
  • Connective tissue supports, binds, and protects organs, examples being blood, bone, cartilage, and fat.

Blood Components

  • Red blood cells carry oxygen.
  • White blood cells fight infection.
  • Platelets facilitate clotting.
  • Muscle tissue enables movement.
  • Skeletal muscle is voluntary.
  • Cardiac muscle is found in the heart.
  • Smooth muscle is present in organs.
  • Nervous tissue sends and processes electrical signals.
  • This tissue comprised of neurons and supporting cells.

Plant Tissues

  • Epidermal tissue is the outer protective layer of plants with stomata (pores) for gas exchange.
  • Ground tissue performs photosynthesis and stores nutrients.
  • Photosynthesis reactants are carbon dioxide, water, and sunlight.
  • Photosynthesis products are glucose (C₆H₁₂O₆) and oxygen.
  • Vascular tissue transports substances.
  • Xylem carries water and minerals from roots to leaves.
  • Phloem carries sugars from leaves to the rest of the plant.
  • Meristematic tissue is responsible for plant growth via actively dividing cells.
