Study Notes
Cells, Tissues, and Organs
- A cell is the basic structural and functional unit of most living organisms.
- A tissue is a collection of similar cells with a common origin working together for a specific function.
- An organ is composed of different tissues working together for a specific function. Examples include the eye, lung, and leaf.
Types of Animal Tissues
- Animal tissues develop from three embryonic tissues: ectoderm, mesoderm, and endoderm.
- These three embryonic tissues differentiate into four main adult tissues.
Adult Tissues
- Epithelial tissue
- Connective tissue
- Muscle tissue
- Nervous tissue
Epithelial Tissue
- Epithelial tissue lines the cavities and surfaces of body structures.
- Many glands are also formed from epithelial tissue.
