Understanding Tissues in Living Organisms
Explore the significance of tissues in multicellular organisms, which serve as macroscopic equivalents of individual cells. Epithelial tissues form protective barriers, nervous tissues transmit electrical signals, muscle tissues convert chemical signals, and connective tissues provide strength and cushioning. Learn about the organization and functions of different tissue types.

Presentation Transcript
Cell Biology BME140 Lecture 12 Tissues
TISSUES Tissues in living organisms form macroscopic equivalents of individual cells Tissues are the next highest level of organization in multicellular organisms; Tissues are composed of cells
TISSUES Epithelial tissues form protective, semi- permeable barriers between compartments Nervous tissues store and transmit information as electrical charge
TISSUES Muscle tissues convert chemical signals into mechanical force Connective tissues provide strength and cushioning to the animal body
