Specialized tissues are groups of cells that evolve to perform specific functions, leading to the formation of organs and organ systems, with varying levels of specialization across species.
Specialized tissues are groups of cells that evolve to perform specific functions, leading to the formation of organs and organ systems, with varying levels of specialization across species.
| Front | Specialized Tissues |
|---|---|
| Back | - cells evolve to specialize in functions, forming groups called tissues - tissues then evolve to create organs, then organ systems, etc. - levels of specialization vary throughout species ex) sponges (no tissue) - cnidarians (primitive tissue) - flatworms (tissue, organs, but no organ systems) - earthworms & arthropods (tissue, organs, organ systems) |
