    Study Notes

    Cellular Structure and Function

    • Cells with similar structures and functions group together to form tissues.
    • Tissues further group together to form organs, which then form organ systems.

    Cellular Differentiation

    • Genes control the differentiation process, where cells develop specific structures and functions.
    • Examples of cellular differentiation include:
      • Skin epidermis cells synthesizing creatine.
      • Muscle cells synthesizing actin and myosin.
      • Immune cells synthesizing antibodies.

    Embryonic Layers

    • There are three embryonic layers: Ectoderm, Mesoderm, and Endoderm.
    • Each layer gives rise to specific tissues and organs:
      • Ectoderm: gives rise to skin, nervous system, and related organs.
      • Mesoderm: gives rise to circulatory system, lymphatic system, muscles, and connective tissue.
      • Endoderm: gives rise to digestive system, glands, respiratory system, and urinary system.

    Embryonic Layers (Alternative Names)

    • Ectoderm: also known as outer germ layer, gives rise to skin and nervous system.
    • Mesoderm: also known as middle germ layer, gives rise to circulatory system, lymphatic system, muscles, and connective tissue.
    • Endoderm: also known as inner germ layer, gives rise to digestive system, glands, respiratory system, and urinary system.
