    Study Notes

    The Hierarchy of Structure in Animals

    • Multicellular organisms, like animals, are composed of many specialized cells.
    • Each cell has a specific function, for example, stinging cells in jellyfish capture prey, light-emitting cells in fireflies attract mates.
    • Single-celled organisms such as bacteria and blue-green algae are independent; they don't rely on other cells for survival.
    • Specialized animal cells (e.g., bone cells, hair cells, stomach cells) cannot survive independently; they rely on neighboring cells for function.
    • Animal bodies are complex collections of cells working together to perform essential functions like survival and reproduction.
    • Complexity varies; sponges have simple structures, while vertebrates (such as birds) have complex bodies.

    Animal Body - Levels of Organization

    • Animal bodies have different levels of organization, arranged from least complex to most complex, allowing them to function.
    • Animals are made of cells organized in a way that allows them to perform life-sustaining functions.
    • Levels of organization include cells, tissues, organs, and organ systems.
    • Individual cells work together to form tissues, which are grouped by similar cell types that perform common functions.
    • Tissues combine to form organs, structures composed of multiple tissues.
    • Organs and other body parts, functioning together, form organ systems.
    • Organ systems perform complex life functions.

    Organ Systems

    • All animals perform the same fundamental functions (obtaining oxygen and nutrients, eliminating wastes, sensing the environment, growing, and reproducing).
    • Organ systems are groups of organs and structures that work together to perform one or more important functions for an animal.
    • Examples of organ systems include the musculoskeletal system (movement and support), reproductive system, respiratory system (oxygen and carbon dioxide exchange), circulatory system, urinary system, nervous system, and digestive system.

    Tissues

    • Animals have four main types of tissues: epithelial tissue (protection and lining), connective tissue (support and structure), muscle tissue (movement), and nerve tissue (communication and control).
    • Each tissue type is composed of specialized cells.
    • These tissues work together in organs to accomplish varied functions.
