The Tissue Level of Organization
The term tissue is used to describe a group of cells found together in the body.
Practice this chapterThe term tissue is used to describe a group of cells found together in the body. Microscopic observation reveals that the cells in a tissue share morphological features and are arranged in an orderly pattern that achieves the tissue’s functions.
Relate the structure of each tissue type to their function The cells within a tissue share a common embryonic origin.
tissue — group of cells that are similar in form and perform related functions. tissue share morphological features and — arranged in an orderly pattern that achieves the tissue’s functions. term tissue — used to describe a group of cells found together in the body. mesothelium — simple squamous epithelial tissue which covers the major body cavities and is the epithelial portion of serous membranes.
Be able to identify the four main tissue types; discuss the functions of each tissue type; discuss the embryonic origin of tissue.
Worked example
What does “tissue” mean in The Tissue Level of Organization?
- 1Use the wording this chapter gives for tissue.
- 2The book says: group of cells that are similar in form and perform related functions.
- 3Do not use the meaning of tissue share morphological features and. That term means arranged in an orderly pattern that achieves the tissue’s functions.
Result: group of cells that are similar in form and perform related functions
Why. That is the meaning this chapter gives for tissue.
Do not swap tissue and tissue share morphological features and. tissue means group of cells that are similar in form and perform related functions. tissue share morphological features and means arranged in an orderly pattern that achieves the tissue’s functions.
