The document describes the hierarchical organization of cells, tissues, organs, systems and organisms. It begins with cells as the basic unit and building block, which can be animal or plant cells. Animal cells include red blood cells, nerve cells and sperm cells while plant cells include leaf and root hair cells. Cells combine to form tissues like muscle or root hair tissue. Tissues combine to form organs such as the heart or leaf. Organs combine to form systems such as the circulatory or leaf canopy system. Systems combine to form whole organisms such as the human or a plant.
