Levels of Organization

The document outlines different levels of biological organization from atoms to biosphere. It begins with atoms, the basic unit of matter, that combine to form molecules. Organelles are structures within cells that have specialized functions. Cells are the fundamental unit of structure and function of living things. Tissues are groups of similar cells that work together to perform a specific function. Organs are made of tissues working together to perform major functions, and organ systems integrate organs to work as a whole in organisms. Populations of organisms interact within communities which make up ecosystems, all interacting to form the biosphere.

ATOM
THE BASIC UNIT OR
THE SMALLEST
UNIT OF MATTER.
MOLECULES
THE COMBINATION OF TWO
OR MORE ATOMS CHEMICALLY
COMBINED IN DEFINITE RATIO.

THEY ARE MADE UP OF ATOM.


ORGANELLES
A DISCRETE STRUCTURE WITHIN A
CELL(CHLOROPLAST, CENTRIOLE,
ETC.) WITH SPECIALIZED
FUNCTIONS, DISTINCTIVE
COMPOSITION, AND MOLECULAR
STRUCTURE.
CELLS
The fundamental unit of structure and function of
all living organisms.

it is the smallest unit o0f life that can live on its


own(except virus).

Your body contains about


10 trillion cells.
TISSUES
Made up of similar cells from the origin that carry out
a specific function.
HISTOLOGY- THE STUDY INVOLVING TISSUES.

HISPATHOLOGY- STUDY INVOLVING DISEASES.

A TISSUE IS A GROUP OF MANY CELLS WITH


SIMILAR AND COORDINATED FUNCTIONS.
ANIMAL TISSUES
1. CONNECTIVE TISSUES- fibrous
tissues composed of cells separated by
nonliving material called extracellular
matrix. They give shape and hold
organs in place.

Examples: BLOOD AND BONE TISSUES


2. EPITHELIAL TISSUES- formed by cells used to cover
and protect the organ surfaces.
Examples: surface of the skin and inner lining of the
digestive and reproductive tract.

3. Muscle tissues- formed from muscle cells, its


function is to produce force and motion.
Examples: Visceral- found in inner linings of organs.
skeletal- attached to the bones that
provides for gross movement.
Cardiac- (found in the heart), allows the
heart to contract pumping the blood to all parts of
the body.
4.Nervous tissues- Transport messages
in the form of impulses.
Neural tissues-comprise the peripheral
(forms the cranial and spinal nerves.
Central nervous system- forms the
brain and spinal cord.
