    • 5.1: Organization of the Plant Body- An Overview
    • 5.2: Plant Tissues
    • 5.3: Stems- Support for Above-Ground Organs
    • 5.4: Organization of Animal Bodies
      The tissues of multicellular, complex animals are four primary types: epithelial, connective, muscle, and nervous. Recall that tissues are groups of similar cells group of similar cells carrying out related functions. These tissues combine to form organs—like the skin or kidney—that have specific, specialized functions within the body. Organs are organized into organ systems to perform functions.

    • 5.6: Connective Tissue
      The tissues of multicellular, complex animals are four primary types: epithelial, connective, muscle, and nervous. Recall that tissues are groups of similar cells group of similar cells carrying out related functions.

    • 5.8: Types of Skeletal Systems
      A skeletal system is necessary to support the body, protect internal organs, and allow for the movement of an organism. There are three different skeleton designs that fulfill these functions: hydrostatic skeleton, exoskeleton, and endoskeleton.
    • 5.9: Vertebrate Skeleton Evolution and Modes of Locomotion
      A skeletal system is necessary to support the body, protect internal organs, and allow for the movement of an organism. There are three different skeleton designs that fulfill these functions: hydrostatic skeleton, exoskeleton, and endoskeleton.
