A cell, tissue, organ, system, or
organism?
Where is it found? What
does it do?
 Found: the circulatory system is one of
many systems in the human body, as well
as in many other organisms. It is made
up of the heart and blood vessels.
 Function: the circulatory system
transports oxygen and food to all cells in
the body through the blood
A cell, tissue, organ, system, or
organism?
Where is it found? What
does it do?
 Found: the stomach is part of the
digestive system in many animals
 Function: to break down food, and store it
to later be absorbed by the intestines into
the blood
Cells, tissues, organs, organ systems,
or organisms?
Where are they found?
What do they do?
 Found: these are various tissues found inside
the human body
-epithelial tissue (skin, inside of cheek, etc.)
-nervous tissue (brain and nerves)
-muscle tissue
-connective tissue (tendons)
 Function: each tissue has its own function,
what do you think they are?
Cells, tissues, organs, systems, or
organisms?
Where are they found?
What do they do?
 Found: these are different types of red
and white blood cells found in our blood
-what level is our blood?
 Function: red blood cells transport
oxygen to other cells and organs, and
white blood cells fight off diseases

made up of millions of these cells
 Function: neurons transmit signals to
body parts to tell them what to do

our bodies
 Function: they help us to move, pump
blood, and support our skeleton

organisms that are often found in pond
water
 Function: to live and survive in their
environment
