The organisation of cells

  • In multicellular organisms, eukaryotic cells become specialised to carry out specific functions, e.g.:

    • epithelial cells in the small intestine absorb nutrients

    • red blood cells transport oxygen

  • Specialised cells of the same type form a tissue; a group of similar cells working together, e.g.:

    • epithelial tissue absorbs food in the small intestine

    • muscle tissue contracts to produce movement

  • Tissues combine to form an organ

    • E.g. the heart contains muscle, connective and vascular tissues

  • Organs work together as part of an organ system

    • E.g. the heart is part of the circulatory system
