The Different Jobs of Cells

Cell Organization
• Many-celled organisms are not just mixedup collections of different types of cells.
• Cells are organized into systems that,
together, perform functions that keep the
organism healthy and alive.
organelle
• Parts of a cell that have a special job
found inside in the cytoplasm
• Ex. nucleus
•
vacuole
•
mitochondria
•
chloroplast
cell
• Smallest unit of life
• Ex. Bone cell, muscle cell, nerve cell, etc.

Tissues and Organs
• Cells that are alike
are organized into
tissue (TIH shewz).
• Tissues are
groups of similar
cells that all do
the same sort of
work.
Blood is a Tissue
Tissues
• Ex.
• Blood made of blood cells
• Bone tissue made of bone cells

Tissues and Organs
• Different types of tissues working together
can form a structure called an organ
(OR gun).
• The stomach is an organ that includes muscle
tissue, nerve tissue, and blood tissue.
• Other human organs include the heart and
the kidneys.

Organs Systems
• A group of organs that work together to do
a certain job is called an organ system.
• Organ systems found
in your body include
the respiratory
system, the
circulatory system,
the reproductive
system, and the

nervous system.
Organ systems
• Nervous system includes the brain, nerves
and spinal cord
• Respiratory system is the nose, trachea,
and lungs

Organs Systems
• Organ systems also work together.
• For example, the muscular system has more
than 600 muscles that are attached to bones.
• The contracting cells of muscle tissue cause
your bones, which are part of the skeletal
system, to move.
organism
• A living thing
• Ex. Humans, trees, grass animals
