Animal Tissues and
Organ Systems
Key Concepts
• Types of Animal tissues
– Four tissues types (organized into organs)
•
•
•
•
Epithelial
Connective
Muscle
Nervous
• Organ systems
– Embryonic tissues are source of all adult
organs
– Each organ system has specialized
function
Stem Cells – source of all
cell types and tissues
• Undifferentiated cells
with potential to develop
into many cell types
– Embryonic stem cells,
more versatile
– Adult stem cells, less
versatile
Body Organization
• Tissue
– Group of cells performing same task
• Organ
– Two or more tissues performing same task
or a set of tasks within the organ
• Organ system
– Two or more organs performing a major
function (or set of functions) within the
organism
Tissues
• Groups of cells and intercellular
substances that interact in one or more
tasks
• Example: nervous tissue in the retina
detect light
Organs
• Group of tissues organized to perform a
task or set of tasks
• Example: Heart is an organ that pumps
blood through body
• Heart consists of muscle tissue, nervous
tissue, connective tissue, and epithelial
tissue
Organ Systems
• Groups of organs that interact physically
and/or chemically to perform a common
task or major set of functions
• Example: Circulatory system includes
heart, arteries, and other vessels that
transport blood through the body as well
as many other functions
Homeostasis
• Stable range of operating conditions in
the internal environment of an organism
• Examples include: blood pH, body
temp., blood pressure, concentrations of
electrolytes in the fluids of organs
• Brought about by coordinated activities
of cells, tissues, organs, and organ
systems
4 Types of Animal Tissues
• Epithelial tissues
• Connective tissues
• Muscle tissues
• Nervous tissues
Type 1: Epithelial Tissues
• Sheet-like, line body surfaces, cavities, ducts, and tubes
• Lines, covers, and protects other tissues and organs.
• Characterized by:
– Cells tightly packed together
– The presence of a cell secretion called the basement membrane.
• Named by:
– Cell shape
– Other characteristics of the cells.
•
Squamous, Cuboidal, and Columnar are examples of Epithelial cell types
• One free surface faces a body fluid or the environment

Glands
Secretory organs derived from Epithelial Cells
• Exocrine glands have ducts or tubes
– Salivary and sweat glands
– Mainly secrete to the OUTSIDE of the
organism
• Endocrine glands are ductless
– Adrenals and pituitary
– Secrete to the INSIDE of the organism,
glandular products (mainly hormones) are
transported by the blood primarily
exo = out
endo = in
Stratified Squamous Epithelium
Type 2: Connective Tissues
• Most abundant tissues in the body
• Characterized by the cells widely separated from each
other in a matrix that is produced by the cells.
• Tissue protects and supports.
• Cell Matrix composed of two regions
– Ground
• Liquid (sol), Gel, Gum or solid
– Fibers
• Non-elastic (= white or Collagen)
• Elastic (= yellow fibers)
– Specialized
•

•
Cartilage
Bone
Adipose (fat)
Blood
Living Bone Tissue
Soft Connective Tissues
• Loose connective tissue
• Dense, irregular connective tissue
• Dense, regular connective tissue
Vascular Tissue (Blood)
• Liquid matrix = plasma
– 90% water
– 10%Plasma proteins, electrolytes, hormones, oxygen,
glucose etc.
• Cellular elements
– Erythrocytes -48 billion (female) to 54 billion (male)
cell / ml of blood in humans. Mammals are
unnucleated while rest of the vertebrates they have
nuclei
– Leukocytes -about 7.5 million / ml of blood
– Platelets -blood clotting

Type 3: Muscle Tissue
• Cells contract when stimulated
• Moves body and specific body
parts
• 2 types, 3 classes
– Striated
• Skeletal
• Cardiac
– Not striated
• Smooth
Skeletal Muscle
• Attaches to and moves
bones
• Long, cylindrical cells
• Striated cells
• Voluntary control
nucleus
Cardiac Muscle
• Present only in heart
• Cells are branching
– Ends joined by
communication
junctions
• Cells striated
• Not under voluntary
control
where cells meet
Smooth Muscle
• Located in soft
internal organs
(uterus, stomach
and intestines) and
blood vessels
• Cells taper at ends
• Cells not striated
• Not under
voluntary control
cell nucleus
Type 4: Nervous Tissue
• Detects stimuli, integrates information,
and relays commands for response
• Consists of excitable neurons and
supporting cells
Neurons
• “Excitable” cells
This means that:
• Stimulus sends electrical impulse along
plasma membrane because of specific
proteins
This allows the cells to:
• Transmit information to other neurons,
muscles or glands

• Protects body from injury,
dehydration, UV radiation, and
some pathogens
• Helps control temperature
• Receives external stimuli
• Involved in vitamin D production

• Tan protects inner layers against UV
damage
• UV exposure causes
– elastin fibers to clump

Human Endocrine System
• The endocrine system consists of glands
that produce hormones.

travel through the blood stream and affect
activities throughout the body.

Human Nervous System
• Controls and coordinates functions
throughout the body
• Neurons are specialized cells that
transmit impulses throughout the body.
Fight or Flight Response
• our body's automatic, inborn
response that prepares the
body to "fight" or "flee" from
perceived attack, harm or
threat
What happens?
• brain recognizes threat (nervous system)
• Chemicals are released into the bloodstream (circulatory
system, endocrine system)
• Breathing and heart rate increases (respiratory system,
circulatory system)
• Blood is directed away from our digestive tract and directed into
our muscles and limbs, which require extra energy and fuel for
running and fighting (digestive system and locomotion system)
• Our pupils dilate. Our awareness intensifies. Our sight
sharpens. Our impulses quicken. Our perception of pain
diminishes. (nervous system)
• Our immune system mobilizes with increased activation
(immune system)
Does it ever end?
•
By its very design, the fight or flight response leads us to fight or to
flee—both creating immense amounts of muscle movement and
physical exertion. This physical activity effectively metabolizes the
stress hormones released as a result of the activation of our fight or
flight response. Once the fighting is over, and the threat—which
triggered the response—has been eliminated, our body and mind return
to a state of calm.
Plant Organ Systems
• In plants there are 3 organ systems:
• Roots: everything below ground
– Seeks and gathers water/nutrients from the
soil
• Shoots: everything above ground
– Seeks like and adds height
• The Reproductive System: the flower
– Allows for sexual reproduction
• Together the roots and shoots
allow for transpiration: the
evaporation of water from the
leaves and stem of plants
