The Animal Body Tour
Levels of structure
• Cells
• Tissues: Cells combined in distinct ways into
layers. Specialization (division of labor)
• Organs: Made of more than one kind of
tissue. Perform common function.
• Organ systems: Several organs combine to
perform major body function.
Levels of structure
• Example, circulatory system
Levels of structure
• 11 organ systems
Tissue types (4)
• 1) Epithelial tissue
– Covers outer and inner ____________ of body
– Cells tightly joined together (no blood vessels in
intercellular spaces: materials must diffuse in and
out)
– Two major types: covering and lining, and
glandular
Tissue types
• 1) Epithelial tissue types (covering and lining)
– Simple epithelial (1 cell layer). Further subdivided
based on cell shape
• Squamous (flattened)
• Cuboidal (cube shaped)
• Columnar (rectangular)
Tissue types
• 1) Epithelial tissue types (covering and lining)
– Stratified epithelial (multiple cell layers). Further
subdivided by cell shape
• Ex., squamous (flattened)
– Pseudostratified epithelial (one cell layer but looks
like 2 because __________ not all in same position)
• Ex., pseudostratified columnar (rectangular)
Tissue types
• 1) Epithelial tissue
– Glandular (secretes materials) epithelial tissue
• Exocrine glands: connected to epithelium surface by
duct (Ex., sweat glands, salivary glands)
• Endocrine glands: not connected to epithelium surface
(Ex., adrenal gland of kidney). Secretions called
hormones, enter blood and stay within body
Tissue types
• Epithelial tissue functions:
– Protection: invasion, dehydration, physical injury, etc.
– Secretion of chemicals: ex., digestive tract
• Note: usually with great regenerative ability

Bone
• Living tissue. Contains nerves, blood vessels,

• Formed by cells called ___________, which
secrete collagen matrix in which Ca and P salts
later deposited. These cells then called osteocytes.
• Usually forms by replacing cartilage in embryo
and at ends of major bones as they grow
(endochondral bones)
• Some bones formed directly from dense
connective tissue (intramembranous bones)
• Structure
Bone
– Periosteum: connective tissue sheath

Tendons
• Connect bones to adjacent
muscles. All major muscles
attached to skeleton this way.

are in lower arm. Attach to
fingers by tendons that you can
see on the back of your hand
Ligaments
• Hold adjacent bones together. Can determine how
bones move (ex, knee joint)
• Tend to stretch in one direction
Ligaments/Tendons

(from cadavers or other living humans)
Joints
