Cells (Division of Labour) Chapter 24
2
In this chapter, you will learn… that cells of similar structures are organised into tissues that several tissues may make up an organ that organs are organised into systems to explain the significance of division of labour
3
Unicellular Organisms Paramecium Amoeba
4
Unicellular Organisms Paramecium –Microscopic organism –Found on surface of water (eg: pond, river) –Has hair surrounding the body for movement –Has a mouth
5
Unicellular Organisms Amoeba –Often found at bottom of ponds or under rocks –Does not move fast –No arms, legs, eyes, mouth –Eats by surrounding its prey with its body –Lives only for 2 days –Reproduce by spliting itself into 2 new amoebas
6
Multicellular Organisms Have many different cells Different cells perform different functions Examples –Plants –Humans
7
Cells in a Human Examples –Red blood cell (transport oxygen) –Nerve cell (have nerve fibres to transmit signals to and from the central nervous system)
8
Cells in a Plant Examples –Root hair cell –Leaf guard cell
9
From cells to tissues Tissue –Group of similar cells that are specialised to perform a particular function
10
Tissues in a Human Epithelial tissue –Covering or lining tissue to protect structure beneath it Connective tissue –Joins, stores or supports all parts of an organism
11
Tissues in a Human Muscle tissue –Cause movement Nerve tissue –Carry messages from one part of body to another by conducting electrical signals
12
Tissues in a Plant Epidermal tissue –Protects plant against injury and losing too much water Vascular tissue –Transports materials within a plant
13
Tissues in a Plant Photosynthesis tissue –Carries out photosynthesis in a plant
14
From Tissues to Organs Organ –Group of specialised tissues that are gathered in a certain part of the body to perform a particular function together
15
Organs in a Human Examples –Skin –Lungs –Heart
16
Organs in a Plant Examples –Leaves –Stem –Roots –Flowers
17
From Organs to Systems System –Different organs working together to perform a major function in an organism
18
Main Organ Systems in a Human Respiratory system Digestive system Blood circulatory system Skeletal system Muscular system
19
Respiratory System Nasal Passage Pharynx Trachea Bronchus Larynx Bronchioles Alveoli
20
Respiratory System Respiration –Process in which cells release energy from the food we eat –Oxygen is required –Carbon dioxide is removed
21
Respiratory System Mechanics of breathing Exhalation Inhalation
22
Digestive System Villi Mouth Liver Pharynx Stomach Large Intestine Small Intestine Oesophagus
23
Digestive System Digestion –Process in which large, insoluble food substances are broken down into smaller, soluble food substances for absorption into blood
24
Blood Circulatory System
25
Transports nutrients, gases, water and hormones to different parts of the body Include red blood cells, white blood cells, heart, blood vessels Red blood cells White blood cells
26
Skeletal System
27
Supports our body Gives us shape Protects our organs Enables movement
28
Muscular System Deltoid Pectoralis major Biceps brachi Gluteus maximus Rectus femoris Gastrocnemius
29
Muscular System Enables movement by contraction and relaxation of muscles 3 muscle types: –Skeletal muscles –Smooth muscles –Cardiac muscles
30
Other systems in Human Reproductive System - Produces sex cells (sperm, ovum) -For reproduction Nervous System - Consists of the brain, spinal cord and nerves found throughout our body - Controls and coordinates functions throughout our body - Enables us to respond to changes around us
31
Male Reproductive System Urinary bladder Vas deferens Prostate gland Urethra Penis Seminal vesicle Epididymus Testis
32
Female Reproductive System Sagittal View Anterior View Fallopian tube Ovary Uterus Vagina Uterus Vagina Fallopian tube Urinary bladder
33
Nervous System Cerebrum Corpus callosum Cerebellum Thalamus Hypothalamus Midbrain Pons Medulla oblongata Spinal cord
34
Plant Transport System
35
From Systems to Organisms Organism –Made up of different systems working effectively in a coordinated manner
36
The Human Body - An organism CELLS TISSUES ORGANS SYSTEMS ORGANISM
37
Division of Labour Each cell in a multicellular organism does not perform all the bodily functions. Each type of cell specialises in performing one particular function. Different functions in a multicellular organism can be performed at the same time by division of labour.
38
Division of Labour Division of labour –Sharing different functions in an organism among its cells, tissues, organs and systems –Ensures smooth running and effective working of the different parts in an organisms as well as the organism as a whole
