Section 3 The Organization of Living Things

Cells Working Together

• A tissue is a group of cells that work together to perform a specific function.

• Animals have four basic types of tissues: nerve tissues, muscle tissue, connective tissue, and protective tissue.

• Plants have three types of tissues: transport tissue, protective tissue, and ground tissue.

Section 3 The Organization of Living Things

Tissues Working Together

• A structure made up of two or more tissues working together to perform a specific function is called an organ.

• The heart, stomach, intestines, brain, and lungs are examples of organs in humans.

• Leaves, stems, and roots are examples of plant organs.

Organs Working Together • A group of organs working together to perform a

particular function is called an organ system. Each organ system has a specific job in the body.

• Examples of organ systems are the digestive system, the respiratory system, and the cardiovascular system.

• Examples of plant organ systems are leaf systems, root systems, and stem systems.

Section 3 The Organization of Living Things

Organisms

• Anything that can perform life processes by itself is an organism.

• An organism made of a single cell is a unicellular organism. A unicellular organism must carry out all life processes in order for that cell to survive.

• In contrast, multicellular organisms have specialized cells that depend on each other for the organism to survive.

Section 3 The Organization of Living Things

Structure and Function

• In organisms, structure and function are related.

• Structure is the arrangement of parts in an organism. Structure refers to the shape and material of a part.

• Function is the job that the part does.

• The structures of alveoli and blood vessels enable them to perform a function. Together, they bring oxygen into the body and get rid of its carbon dioxide.

1. Cardiac muscle tissue is only found in the heart. Cardiac muscle tissue contracts to help the heart pump blood throughout the body. The heart is an organ in the cardiovascular system. Describe how this system helps perform maintenance for organisms, such as humans.

The cardiovascular system helps maintain the body by providing cells with oxygen and nutrients, and by removing wastes such as carbon dioxide. The cardiovascular system also helps maintain the body by fighting pathogens.
