Study Notes
Cell Differentiation
- Cells in the body have the same DNA, but their functions and forms vary
- Different functions lead to different forms
Tissues
- Groups of cells working together for a specific task are called tissues
- Animals have four main tissue types: epithelial, connective, muscle, and nervous
Epithelial Tissue
- Lines the body's outer surfaces and cavities
- Tightly packed cells create a protective barrier
Connective Tissue
- Supports and joins structures
- Includes tendons, ligaments, bones, cartilage, and fat
Muscle Tissue
- Enables movement
- Includes skeletal muscle, smooth muscle, and cardiac muscle
Nervous Tissue
- Responds to stimuli and transmits signals
- Conduits information throughout the body
Plant Tissues
- Plants have four tissue types: vascular, (epi)dermal, ground, and meristematic
