MULTICELLULAR

ORGANISMS

Cell Specialisation
Multicellular organisms organisms consist
of more than one cell.
Cells grow, change shape & adapt
themselves to carry out specific functions.
Cells differentiate & become specialized in
order to perform specific tasks more
efficiently.
The different levels of cell organisation.

TISSUES

Epithalial Tissues

 Epithalial tissues at the outermost layer of the skin.

1. Protects the underlying tissues & organs.
2. Prevent dehydration of the skin.
3. Regulate body temperature.
4. Secretes sweat & sebum.
Epithelial tissue at the lining of intestine.
1. Absorbs nutrients
2. Modified goblet cell secretes mucus
3. Secrete digestive enzyme.
Epithelial tissue at the lining of trachea.
1. Modified structures called cilia sweep away pollutants from
lungs.
2. Goblet cell secretes mucus to trap air particles.

Muscle Tissue

Nerve Tissues
There are 3 types of nerve tissues:
1. Afferent neurone
2. Efferent neuron
3. Interneurone
Functions: transmit nerve impuls in order to coordinate
body activities.

Connective Tissue
Made up of various cells & fibres embedded in a large amount
matrix.
Matrix may be in the form of:
1) Liquid (blood plasma)
2) Hard (solid such as matrix of the bone)
3) Soft (solid such as chondrin of the cartilage)
Types of connective tissues:
1. Loose connective tissue
2. Fibrous connective tissue
3. Adipose tissue
4. Bones
5. Blood
6. Cartilage

ORGANS
Organ means a group of different tissues work
together to perform a specific function.
Example, the heart consists of:
1. Cardiac tissues which contract to pump blood.
2. Epithalial tissues which lines the surface of the heart.
3. Nerve tissue which transmit impulses to regulate
heartbeat.
4. Connective tissue which strengthens valves and walls
of the heart.

 Biggest organ of the body.

SYSTEM
A system consist of a group of organs working
together to carry out a major living process such as
respiration, digestion, excretion, reproduction &
circulation.
There are 11 major systems in a human body.
-

Circulatory system
Respiratory system
Digestive system
Excretory system
Integumentary system
Skeletal system

Muscular system
Lymphatic system
Nervous system
Endocrine system
- Reproductive system
