13 Questions
What is the definition of tissue?
A group of integrated cells with a common structure & function
Why are cells organized into tissues in multicellular organisms?
To carry out their specialized functions
What are the main types of tissue described in the text?
Epithelial, connective, muscle, and nervous tissue
What are tissues arranged into?
Organs
What is the basic unit of life in multicellular organisms?
The cell
What is the importance of tissue level organization to an organism?
Tissue level organization is important to an organism because it allows cells to work together to perform specialized functions, which are essential for the survival and proper functioning of the organism as a whole.
Explain the relationships between structure and function of tissues.
The structure of tissues is closely related to their specific functions. For example, epithelial tissues are composed of tightly packed cells to provide protection, while muscle tissues contain contractile proteins for movement.
What is the definition of tissue?
Tissue is a group of integrated cells with a common structure and function, working together to carry out specialized tasks within an organism.
Describe the structure and function of nervous tissue.
Nervous tissue is composed of neurons and support cells, and it functions to transmit and process electrical signals in the body, allowing for communication and coordination of bodily activities.
What are organs composed of, and how are they related to tissues?
Organs are composed of two or more different tissues that work together to perform specific functions. Tissues, in turn, are integrated cells with a common structure and function, which are organized into organs.
What are the functions of the boundaries formed between different environments?
Protection, secretion, absorption, filtration, movement of oocytes and mucus
What is the primary function of the boundaries between different environments?
Protection
Which process is NOT a function of the boundaries between different environments?
Cell division
