1. Levels of Organization Tutoring

2. Plants and Animals

3. Plant Tissues The primary plant is made up of 4 tissue types:
Functional roles
meristematic
division of new cells for new growth or repair
ground tissue
bulk tissue; storage, processing, physical support
dermal tissue
protection and sometimes nutrient absorption
vascular tissue
movement of fluids/food and physical support

4. Animal Tissues Epithelial Tissue
Epithelial tissue covers external surfaces and internal cavities and organs. Glands are also composed of epithelial tissue.
Epithelia forms boundaries. Most substances that move into or out of the body must pass through epithelial tissue.
Picture of kidney tubules. Lining the tubules is epithelial cells.

5. Connective Tissue
The cells of connective tissue are separated by non-living material.
Connective tissue binds and supports body parts, protects, fills spaces, stores fat (for energy), and transports materials.

6. Muscle Tissue Muscle tissue contracts in response to stimulation
Muscle Tissue Muscle tissue contracts in response to stimulation. It cannot stretch by itself but is strenched by the contraction of other muscles. Muscle tissue is used for locomotion, food movement in gut, and heat production.
Skeletal Muscle
Smooth Muscle
Cardiac Muscle
