    Tissues are groups of cells that work together to perform a particular function. Organs are made of multiple tissues working together. Examples of tissues include muscle, lung and intestinal linings, and plant phloem and root hairs. The skin is the largest organ, with tissues like surface cells, nerves, hairs, and blood vessels that protect the body and allow it to sense its environment. Stem cells are unspecialized cells that can differentiate into many cell types under chemical signals from growth factors in their surroundings, turning genes on and off to form specialized tissues and organs.

    11 Tissues and Biology for Cambridge


    Secondary 1 Grade 7
    Organs

    Cells Working Together
    Tissues

    ❖ A living tissue is made from a group of cells


    with a similar structure and function, which
    all work together to do a particular job.

    Organs

    ❖ An organ is made from a group of different


    tissues, which all work together to do a
    particular job.

    Tissues

    Here are some examples of tissues:


    ❖ Muscle
    ❖ The lining of the intestine
    ❖ The lining of the lungs
    ❖ Phloem (tubes that carry dissolved
    sugar around a plant)
    ❖ Root hair tissue (for plants to take
    up water and minerals from the
    soil)

    Organs An organ is made from a group of different
    tissues, which all work together to do a
    particular job. Here are some examples of
    organs:

    ❖ Heart
    ❖ Lung
    ❖ Stomach
    ❖ Brain
    ❖ Leaf
    ❖ Root

    Organs ❖ Your skin is your biggest organ
    ❖ Its different tissues help it to protect the rest of
    your body:
    o Tough surface cells keep micro-
    organisms out
    o Nerves let you sense things
    o Hairs and fat keep you warm
    o Sweat-producing tissues cool you down
    o Connective tissues hold the rest together
    o Blood tissues bring nutrients and oxygen
    to keep all the other cells alive

    The Tissues in Your Heart

    ❖ As an organ like the heart develops, each


    type of cell moves into the right position
    and start doing its job

    Tissues, organs and organ systems
    ❖ Every cell is formed from existing cells that
    Stem Cells divide
    ❖ When your body started to grow, your cells
    were all the same → STEM CELLS

    • Unspecialized cells that divide quickly and do not


    have a particular function yet.
    •Only stem cells can differentiate into many cell
    types.
    Specialized Cells

    ❖ Their development was controlled


    by clues from their surroundings →
    growth factor (chemical signals)
    Stem Cells

    ❖ As your body developed, stem cells


    DIFFERENTIATED → stem cells turned
    into the right specialised cells for each
    tissues
    ❖ Their development was controlled by clues
    from their surroundings → growth factor
    (chemical signals)

    14
    How did these growth factors make the
    cells change?

    ❖ Every cell in your body has a copy of the


    same set of genes.
    ❖ A muscle cell is different from a nerve cell
    because they have different genes turned
    on by the growth factors.
    ❖ Instructions from different genes make
    cells change their contents and their
    behaviour

    15
    Replacing Your Cells

    ❖ Your red blood cells only last a few months.


    ❖ They can’t divide to make new ones

    ❖ New red blood cells are made by stem cells in your


    bone marrow

    ❖ Scientist are confident that they will learn to control


    stem cells and be able to use them to replace any
    damage tissues
