This document discusses cells, tissues, and organs. It begins by defining the goals of describing plant and animal cell structures and functions, differences between plant and animal cells, and specialized cell structures. Diagrams of liver and leaf cells show key structures. Plant cells have cell walls and chloroplasts while animal cells do not. Descriptions of red blood, muscle, ciliated, xylem, and root hair cell structures and functions are provided. Tissues are groups of similar cells performing shared functions, while organs are groups of tissues working together. Organ systems are groups of organs coordinating related functions.

Anatomy and physiology are two of the most basic terms and areas of study in the life sciences. Anatomy refers to the internal and external structures of the body and their physical relationships, whereas physiology refers to the study of the functions of those structures.

Red blood cells transport oxygen
cell surface membrane cytoplasm contains
no nucleus
cytoplasm contains
haemoglobin
bi-concave disc shape
allows more room for
haemoglobin
increases surface area
over which absorption of
oxygen can occur
haemoglobin is a
protein which carries
the oxygen molecules

Muscle cells contract and enable movement
of the body
nucleus
cell surface membrane
protein strands
The strands of protein
slide over each other
making the muscle cell
(fibre) shorter and causing
the muscle to contract
Muscle cells have

Cilia are small extensions of
the cell. They beat rhythmically
to sweep mucus, which has

Now you should be able to:
• Identify and describe the structure of plant cells and
animal cells, and describe the functions of their parts.
• Describe the difference between animal cells and plant
cells.
• Explain the structure and function of specialised cells:
red blood cell, muscle cells, ciliated cells, xylem vessels
and root hair cells.
• Define the terms tissue, organ and organ systems, with
examples.
Now you should be able to
Explain why many animals have a heart and circulation (a mass transport system)
And
Explain the importance of water as a solvent in transport, including its dipole nature.
