CELLS, TISSUES AND ORGANS

THE CELL
 The body can be studied from its simplest to its most

complex level, beginning with the cell, the basic unit of
living organisms.
 Cells carry out metabolism in the body.
THE CELL
 Providing the energy for metabolic reactions is the

chemical ATP (adenosine triphosphate), commonly
described as the energy compound of the cell.
THE CELL
 The main categories of organic compounds in the body are:

• Proteins, which include the enzymes, some hormones, and
structural materials.
• Carbohydrates, which include sugars and starches.
• Lipids, which include fats.
THE CELL
 Within the cytoplasm that fills the cell are subunits

called organelles, each with a specific function.
THE CELL STRUCTURES
THE CELL
 All body functions derive from the activities of

billions of specialized cells.
 The nucleus is the control region of the cell. It
contains the chromosomes, which carry genetic
information
THE CELL
THE CELL
 Each human cell, except for the sex cells, contains

46 chromosomes.
 The chromosomes are composed of a complex
organic substance, DNA (deoxyribonucleic acid),
which is organized into separate units called
genes.
THE CELL
 To help manufacture enzymes, the cells use a

compound called RNA (ribonucleic acid), which is
chemically related to DNA.
THE CELL
 When a body cell divides, by the process of

mitosis, the chromosomes are doubled and then
equally distributed to the two daughter cells.
 Sex cells (egg and sperm) divide by another
process (meiosis) that halves the chromosomes in
preparation for fertilization.
THE CELL
THE CELL
 STAGES OF MITOSIS:
• Interphase
• No cell division occurs
• The cell carries out normal metabolic activity and
growth
THE CELL
• Prophase
• First part of cell division
• Centromeres migrate to the poles
THE CELL
• Metaphase
• Spindlefrom centromeres are attached to
chromosomes that are aligned in the center of the
cell
THE CELL
• Anaphase
• Daughter chromosomes are pulled toward the poles
• The cell begins to elongate
THE CELL
• Telophase
• Daughter nuclei begin forming
• A cleavage furrow (for cell division) begins to form
THE CELL
THE CELL
THE TISSUE
 Cells are organized into four basic types of tissues that
perform specific functions.
• Epithelial
• Connective
• Muscle
• Nervous
THE TISSUE
THE TISSUE
 Epithelial (ep-i-THE-le-al) tissue covers and protects body

structures and lines organs, vessels, and cavities.
 Connective tissue supports and binds body structures. It
contains fibers and other nonliving material between the
cells. Included are adipose (fat) tissue, cartilage, bone and
blood.
THE TISSUE
THE TISSUE
 Muscle tissue (root my/o) contracts to produce
movement.
• There are three types of muscle tissue:
✓ Skeletal or voluntary muscle moves the skeleton.
✓ Cardiac muscle forms the heart. It functions without
conscious control and is described as involuntary.
✓ Smooth, or visceral, muscle forms the walls of the
abdominal organs; it is also involuntary.
THE TISSUE
 Nervous tissue (root neur/o) makes up the brain,

spinal cord, and nerves. It coordinates and controls
body responses by the transmission of electrical
impulses.
THE TISSUE
THE TISSUE
 The simplest tissues are membranes.

 Mucous membranes secrete mucus, a thick fluid that
lubricates surfaces and protects underlying tissue.
 Serous membranes, which secrete a thin, watery fluid,
line body cavities and cover organs.
THE ORGANS & ORGAN SYSTEMS
 Tissues are arranged into organs, which serve specific
functions.
 The organs, in turn, are grouped into systems.
 Bear in mind, however, that the body functions as a
whole—no system is independent of the others.
 They work together to maintain the body’s state of internal
stability, termed homeostasis.
