Biology Unit 2.2 - Tissues, organs and organ systems
  1. Animal Organs
    1. Large multicellular organisms develop systems for exchanging materials
      1. During the development, Cells differentiate so they can perform different functions
      2. Tissues - A group of cells with similar structure and function
        1. Muscular Tissue - Can contract to bring about movement
          1. Glandular Tissue - Can produce substances such as enzymes and hormones
            1. Epithelial Tissue - Covers some parts of the body
            2. Organs are made of tissues. One organ may contain several tissues. The stomach is an organ that contains...
              1. Muscular Tissues - to churn the contents
                1. Glandular Tissue - to produce digestive juices
                  1. Epithelial Tissue - to cover the outside and inside of the stomach
                  2. Organ Systems - groups of organs that perform a particular function. E.g. the Digestive System which includes...
                    1. Glands such as the pancreas and salivary glands
                      1. These produce digestive juices
                      2. The stomach and small intestine
                        1. Digestion occurs here
                        2. The Liver
                          1. Bile is produced here
                          2. The small intestine
                            1. The absorption of soluble food occurs here
                            2. The large intestine
                              1. Where water is absorbed from the undigested food, which produces faeces
                          3. Plant Organs
                            1. Included stems, roots and leaves
                              1. Example of plant tissues include
                                1. Epidermal tissues
                                  1. These cover the plant
                                  2. Mesophyll
                                    1. This carries out photosynthesis
                                    2. Xylem and Phloem
                                      1. Transports substances around the plant
