    Study Notes

    Cellular Organization

    • In unicellular organisms, a single cell performs all functions like digestion, respiration, and reproduction.
    • In multicellular animals, different groups of cells perform specific functions in a well-organized manner.

    Cells and Tissues

    • The body of a simple organism like Hydra is composed of different types of cells, with thousands of cells in each type.
    • The human body is composed of billions of cells that perform various functions.
    • A group of similar cells, along with intercellular substances, performs a specific function, and this organization is called a tissue.

    Tissue Types and Organization

    • There are only four basic types of tissues in complex animals.
    • These tissues are organized in specific proportions and patterns to form organs like stomach, lung, heart, and kidney.

    Organs and Organ Systems

    • When two or more organs perform a common function through physical and/or chemical interaction, they form an organ system, such as the digestive system, respiratory system, etc.
    • Organs and organ systems exhibit division of labor and contribute to the survival of the body as a whole.
    • The association of organs forms organ systems, which is essential for more efficient and better-coordinated activities of millions of cells constituting an organism.
