Document Summary

Animal form and function are correlated at all levels of organization. Physical laws, especially physics of exchanging materials with environment, limits range of animal forms. Entire plasma membrane is exposed to medium. Body wall is only 2 cell-layers thick. Large, complex animals have highly folded or branched internal surfaces. Cell in these surfaces are specialized for exchanging materials. The basic scheme of organization involves cells organized into tissues organized into organs organized into organ systems. Composed of cells with similar structure and function or. Non-cellular components made by the cells (i. e. , bone and cartilage). There are four general types of tissue (see 40. 5): Membranes cover the body and line all body cavities. The main function of the epithelial tissue is to form a barrier and the cells are closely joined. Because of this the epithelial tissue has no blood vessels. The tissues are either nourished by diffusion from capillaries beneath it or is continuously lost and replaced by cell division.
