ORGANISMS ARE ORGANIZED!

There are five levels of organization in advanced organisms. From the outside in, they are:

•5. Organism

•4. Organ Systems

•3. Organs

•2. Tissues

•1. Cells

biggest

smallest

LEVEL 5: ORGANISMDefinition: Any living thing. (It has all the characteristics of life.)

LEVEL 5: ORGANISMOrganisms sometimes exist as unicellular (single cell), but most are multicellular (many cells) such as plants and animals.

LEVEL 4: ORGAN SYSTEM•Organ + Organ = Organ System

•Definition: a group of organs that work together and perform a specific task.

•You have 11 organ systems in your body.

•Ex: digestive system, skeletal system, etc.

LEVEL 4: ORGAN SYSTEM

•Are there any organ systems we could live without?

LEVEL 3: ORGANS•Tissue + Tissue = Organ

•Definition: A group of tissues working together

•ExamplesAnimal organs: Heart, stomach, brain, lungs,

intestines

Plant organs: Roots, stems, leaves

LEVEL 3: ORGANS

LEVEL 3: ORGANS

Are there any organs we could live without?

LEVEL 3: ORGANS

LEVEL 2: TISSUES

•Cells + Cells = Tissue

•Definition: A group of cells that work together to meet a common purpose

No, not that kind of tissue!

LEVEL 2: TISSUES

No, not that kind of tissue!

LEVEL 2: TISSUES

•There are 3 kinds of plant tissue:

•Dermal (protection)

•Ground (storage and energy)

•Vascular (transportation)

LEVEL 2: TISSUES•There are four kinds of animal tissue:

•Nerve

•Muscle

•Connective

•Epithelial (protection)

ORGAN MADE OF TISSUES

•Connective tissue makes up organs like the bones, blood vessels, tendons, ligaments, etc…

ORGAN MADE OF TISSUES

•Nerve Tissue Makes up organs like the brain, spinal cord, and nerves.

ORGANS MADE OF TISSUES

•Epithelial Tissue makes up organs like the skin, hair, and fingernails

ORGAN MADE OF TISSUES

•Muscle tissue makes up organs like the heart, stomach, kidneys, lungs, biceps, etc…

LEVEL 1: CELLS•Definition: The basic unit of all living things

LEVEL 1: CELLS•Remember, an organism can be just ONE cell (unicellular), or else it is made of MANY cells (multicellular)

LEVEL 1: CELLS
