    Study Notes

    Eukaryotic Cells and Tissues

    • Eukaryotic cells develop into tissues and organisms. This is the introduction to the next unit of study.

    Learning Outcomes

    • Know the definition of a tissue.
    • Understand the two different tissue types in plants.
    • Give examples of different types of plant tissues and their functions.
    • Understand the four different tissue types in animals.
    • Give examples of different types of animal tissues and their functions.
    • Describe the components of blood.
    • Describe the individual blood components in relation to their biological function.

    What is a Tissue?

    • Tissue types vary in relation to the differences and diversity of living organisms and the activities/vital function of the tissues.
    • A tissue is a group of similar cells working together, having an extracellular secretion specialized for performing one or more specific functions.
    • Tissues may contain one or several different cell types.

    Simple Plant Tissues

    • Cells in simple tissues are symmetrical.
    • Structure and shape are key identifiers of plant tissue types.
    • In plants, parenchyma, collenchyma, and sclerenchyma are three tissue types.

    Parenchyma Tissue

    • Parenchyma cells are oval or round-shaped.
    • Cell walls are loosely packed and soft.
    • Parenchyma cells contain chlorophyll or contain areas for air.
    • Parenchyma performs photosynthesis, stores nutrients (e.g., starch), and is responsible for aeration.

    Collenchyma Tissue

    • Collenchyma tissue is soft and living.
    • It's composed of rectangular, elongated cells with fewer intercellular spaces.
    • Cell walls are irregularly thickened with lignin.
    • This tissue provides elasticity in plants.

    Sclerenchyma Tissue

    • Sclerenchyma is solid non-living tissue.
    • These tissues have long, narrow, tough, thick-walled cells.
    • They're thickened with lignin in addition to cellulose.
    • Sclerenchyma gives plants elasticity and hardness, commonly found in fruit and nut shells.

    Complex Tissues in Plants

    • Two types of vascular conductive tissues: xylem and phloem.
    • Xylem and phloem transport substances.

    Xylem

    • Made up of vessels, tracheids, and parenchyma cells.
    • Xylem vessels are vertical rows of cells with dissolved lignin.
    • Tracheids are composed of a single cell with no end walls.
    • Xylem transports water and salts.

    Phloem

    • Consists of sieve tubes, companion cells, phloem parenchyma, and phloem fibers.
    • Sieve tubes have no nuclei and perforated dividing walls.
    • Companion cells support sieve tubes' energy needs.
    • Phloem transports food (sugars).

    Animal Tissues

    • There are four main tissue types in animals that correspond to their functions.
    • Epithelial, connective, muscle, and nerve tissue.

    Epithelial Tissue

    • This covers and lines internal and external surfaces.
    • Four main subtypes: membranous, glandular, stratified, and simple.
    • Simple epithelial tissues have one layer of cells and stratified epithelial tissues have multiple.

    Connective Tissue

    • Connects and surrounds other tissues.
    • Includes many types: loose, dense, skeletal (cartilage and bone), and vascular (blood).
    • Specialized cells in an extracellular matrix.

    Muscle Tissue

    • Contractile tissues
    • Three types include skeletal, smooth, and cardiac.
    • Skeletal muscle is voluntary, smooth is involuntary, and cardiac is involuntary with rhythmic contraction.

    Nerve Tissue

    • Contains neurons; transmit electrical impulses.
    • Controls and coordinates body functions using sensory neurons, relay neurons, and motor neurons

    Blood Components

    • Blood consists of erythrocytes, a buffy coat, and plasma.
    • Erythrocytes (red blood cells) comprise 45% of blood volume.
    • Buffy coat contains platelets and leukocytes (<1%).
    • Plasma makes up 55% of blood volume.

    Blood Component Functions

    • Erythrocytes are responsible for carrying oxygen and carbon dioxide.
    • Plasma maintains osmotic pressure and acts as a carrier protein.
    • Plasma also contains various proteins, electrolytes, and dissolved gases involved in various functions.

    Immune System

    • Innate and adaptive immune systems.
    • Innate system is non-cellular and extremely fast.
    • Physical barriers, inflammation, and complement cascade.
    • Adaptive system is highly specific and takes weeks to develop.
    • Clonal expansion and deletion are key parts of the adaptive response.
    • Different immune cells (e.g., phagocytes, granulocytes, B cells, T cells) are categorized.
