Study Notes
Tissues
Definition
A group of similar cells that perform a specific function together.
Types of Tissues
-
Epithelial Tissue: forms the lining of organs, glands, and body surfaces
- Functions: protection, absorption, secretion, and sensation
-
Connective Tissue: provides support, structure, and connectivity to the body
- Functions: connecting, supporting, and protecting organs and tissues
-
Muscle Tissue: responsible for movement and contraction
- Functions: movement, contraction, and relaxation
-
Nervous Tissue: responsible for transmission and processing of information
- Functions: transmission, processing, and integration of information
Characteristics of Tissues
- Specialization: each type of tissue has unique characteristics and functions
- Organization: tissues are organized into organs and systems
- Coordination: tissues work together to maintain homeostasis
Flower
Definition
The reproductive structure of plants, responsible for producing seeds and fruits.
Parts of a Flower
- Sepals: green, leaf-like structures that protect the flower bud
- Petals: colorful, attractive structures that attract pollinators
- Stamen: male reproductive organs, consisting of filaments and anthers
- Pistil: female reproductive organ, consisting of stigma, style, and ovary
- Receptacle: the base of the flower that supports the other parts
Functions of a Flower
- Reproduction: produces seeds and fruits through fertilization
- Attracting Pollinators: attracts pollinators, such as bees and butterflies, to facilitate reproduction
- Protection: protects the reproductive organs from damage and disease
