  1. Levels Of Organization 7.3.1 Summarize the levels of organization within the human body (including cells, tissues, organs, and systems).

  2. The levels of organization from simplest to most complex are: • Cells • Tissues • Organs • System • Organism

  3. Cells • The basic unit of structure and function in the human body • Though all cells perform the processes that keep humans alive, they also have specialized functions as well. • Examples may be nerve cells (neurons), blood cells, and bone cells.

  4. Cells

  5. Tissues • A group of specialized cells that work together to perform the same function. • There are four basic types of tissue in the human body:

  6. Tissues • Nerve tissue – carries impulses back and forth to the brain from the body

  7. Three types of muscle tissue • Muscle tissue – (cardiac, smooth, skeletal) contract and shorten, making body parts move • Skeletal • Cardiac • Smooth

  8. 3. Epithelial tissue – covers the surfaces of the body, inside (as lining and /or covering of internal organs) and outside (as layer of skin)

  9. 4. Connective tissue – connects all parts of the body and provides support (for example tendons, ligaments, cartilage).

  10. Organs • A group of two or more different types of tissue that work together to perform a specific function. • The task is generally more complex than that of the tissue. • For example, the heart is made of muscle and connective tissues which functions to pump blood throughout the body.

  11. Organs

  12. Systems • A group of two or more organs that work together to perform a specific function. • Each organ system has its own function but the systems work together and depend on one another. • There are eleven different organ systems in the human body: circulatory, digestive, endocrine, excretory (urinary), immune, integumentary, muscular, nervous, reproductive, respiratory, and skeletal.

  13. Organism • Any living thing that is capable of growing and becoming more complex. They are also capable of metabolizing nutrients and reproducing. They can be either single or multicellular

  14. Organisms
