Cell Tissue Organ System Human body

Cell

 Basic units of all living things

 Different types of cell have different structures
 Example:

Tissue

 A group of similar cells that perform the same work

 Example:

Muscle tissue ciliated

epithelial tissue

Organ

 A group of tissues that perform a particular type of work

 Example:

Ear Eye

System

 Consist of a few organs performing a certain function

 Example
Digestive system Skeletal system
