The Amazing World of Multicellular Organisms: Exploring the Body's Specialized Cells and Tissues

🧬Multicellular organisms are made up of specialized cells that come together to form tissues.

💪Muscle tissue is responsible for body movement and includes smooth, skeletal, and cardiac muscle.

🧠Nervous tissue receives and transmits information throughout the body, forming the structure of the brain and network of nerves.

👥Epithelial tissue covers the surface of the body and various internal organs, providing a protective barrier.

🌐Connective tissue provides structure and support, including bone, cartilage, fat, and blood.

What is the role of muscle tissue in the body?

—Muscle tissue is responsible for body movement and can be categorized into smooth, skeletal, and cardiac muscle.

What is the function of nervous tissue?

—Nervous tissue receives and transmits information throughout the body, allowing for responses to external and internal stimuli.

What does epithelial tissue do?

—Epithelial tissue covers the surface of the body and internal organs, providing a protective barrier.

What is connective tissue made of?

—Connective tissue is made up of various cell types, including bone, cartilage, fat, and blood.

How do specialized cells come together to form tissues?

—Specialized cells with similar functions aggregate to form tissues, which then collaborate to support the body's functions.
