1. Cell Diversity Cells are not identical – they diversify their structure to suit their function

2. Types of Cells Nerve Cells Red Blood Cells Muscle Cells

3. Tissues A Tissue is a group of similar cells that are adapted to carry out the same function

4. Plant tissues Dermal tissue - A single layer of cells that surrounds the different parts of a plant - Epidermis protects the plant Vascular Tissue - Transports materials around the plant - Xylem transports water and minerals around the plant Phloem transports food from the leaves to the other parts of the plant

5. Animal Tissues Muscle Tissue can contract Nervous Tissue composed of nerve cells called neurons

6. Tissue Culture Tissue culture is the growth of tissues in or on an artificial medium outside an organism The tissue sample is removed from a plant or animal and grown in glassware ( in vitro) or in a bioreactor under carefully controlled conditions Growth is by mitosis and produces a cluster of identical offspring - a clone

7. In vitro: Outside the body

8. In vivo: inside the body http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PEc7QXAjsL4

9. Conditions necessary for Tissue growth 1. Oxygen - Respiration 2. Nutrients - Glucose 3. Growth factors and hormones – Enhance growth. 4. Correct pH 5. Optimum temperature 6. Sterile conditions - Micro organisms will contaminate the sample and often kill the desired cells. 7. Freedom from competition

10. Stages in Tissue Culture Example of tissue culture is Organ transplants Skin cells obtained Enzymes added Individual Cells isolated Controlled culture medium Sheets of cells grown

11. Applications of tissue cultures 1. Micro propagation of plants: Is the growth of large numbers of plants from plant tissues or cells. Benefits: Produces exact copies Quickly produces mature plants Doesn’t need pollinators or seeds Producing plants that are disease resistant and virus free Inexpensive

13. Applications of tissue cultures 2. Growing human tissue for organ transplants Skin cells Liver cell Pancreas cells

14. STEM CELLS:

15. Stem cells:

18. Stem cells are cells that can form any type of tissue or organ. Ethics? Benefits?

19. Popsci Growing Organs

20. Breathing Lung

21. 3D organ printing

22. First successful trachea transplant stockhom 2011

24. 3. Producing biotechnology products Drug testing kits Cancer testing kits –  Antibodies are special proteins that react with one particular chemical called an antigen. Cancer cells produce a special antigen. With tissue culture, special antibodies can be produced. These are called MONOCLONAL antibodies. These antibodies can change colour when they react with a cancer antigen allowing the detection of cancer cells.

25. Learning Check What is Tissue Culture? What kind of conditions do cells in tissue culture need? What are the stages of tissue culture? Can you name two uses for tissue culture?

26. Organs An organ is a structure composed of a number of tissues that work together to carry out one or more functions Examples  Root- Heart  Stem- Stomach  Leaf- Intestine  Flower- Liver  Seeds- Lungs  Fruit- Skin

27. For example: THE HEART The walls of the heart are made with ____? Therefore __________ tissue. The heart is controlled by the _______? Therefore __________ tissue. Blood and numerous vessels are present therefore connective tissue is present.

28. Systems A system consists of a number of organs working together to carry out one or more functions Animal Systems Digestive Circulatory Nervous Urinary Endocrine Skeletal Muscular Reproductive

29. Learning Check Can you name 3 types of cell? What is a tissue? Can you recall 2 types of animal tissue? Can you recall 2 types of plant tissue?

30. Learning Check What is an organ? Can you name 2 plant organs? Can you name 2 animal organs? What is an organ system? Can you recall 2 animal organ systems?
