Tissues |
A group of similar cells working together to perform a function |
|
|
Muscular Tissue (Animals) |
Can contract and relax to produce movement of body parts |
|
|
Epidermal Tissue (Animals and Plants) |
Human skin and the waxy covering of plants are examples of epidermal tissue |
|
|
Epithelial tissue (animals & plants) |
Comes in contact with the outside world |
|
|
Mesophyll (plants) |
Capable of photosynthesis |
|
|
Organs |
Group of tissues that work together to perform a specific function |
|
|
Glandular tissue (glands) |
Produces digestive juices to break down the stomach contents |
|
|
Organ systems |
Groups of organs working together to perform a particular role |
|
|
Digestive system |
- small intestine - large intestine - stomach - liver - glands |
|
|
Small intestine |
Digests food and absorbs soluble food molecules |
|
|
Large intestine |
Absorbs water molecules from remaining undigested food —> allows to produce feces |
|
|
Glands (pancreas & salivary glands) |
Produce digestive juices |
|
|
Liver |
Produces bile |
|
|
Stomach |
Digests food |
|
|
Specialised animal cells (4) |
- Ciliated Epithelia - Egg Cell - Sperm Cell - Red Blood Cell |
|
|
Specialised Plant Cells |
- Root Hair Cell - Xylem Cell - Palisade Mesophyll |
|
|
Ciliated Epithelia (functions and specialty) |
- line the airways to waft the mucus - hair like structure called cilia - lots of mitochondria as cilia needs energy to move
|
|
|
Egg cells (functions and specialty) |
- fertilized by a sperm to become a zygote —> embryo and specialized to support as it grows - cell membrane adapted to change structure - haploid nucleus —> contains half the genetic info - contains lots of cytoplasms (packed avec nutrients) |
|
|
Sperm cell (functions and specialty) |
- specialized to fertilize the eggs by traveling long distances and break through the egg - Acrosome —> tip of the head contains enzyme needed to penetrate an egg cell - Head —> contains cell’s nucleus which carries half of the genetic material - Middle section —> filled avec mitochondria to provide energy to travel - Tail —> for cells motion |
|
|
Red blood cells functions and adaptations |
- no nucleus —> more space for hemoglobin (maximizes amount of O2) - hemoglobin —> carried O2 to be released in body pour respiration - small size to pass through capillaries - biconcave shape creates larger surface area for rapid diffusion of O2 |
|
|
Root hair cells, plants (functions and specialty) |
- No chloroplasts located underground so don’t have light for P/S - Long projections larger increase surface area to absorb H2O et minister |
|
|
Xylem Cell, Plants (functions and specialty) |
- open ends of the dead called to allow H2O to move through - Lignin a protein to strengthen the cell walls |
|
|
Palisade Mesophyll Cells, plants (functions and specialty) |
- Tightly packed to absorb as much sunlight as possible - Many Chloroplasts for higher rate of P/S |
