                            Tissue Hey Everyone, welcome back!! Today In this article, let us try to understand a very familiar topic TISSUE , we'll cover - What is a tissue? ,  Types of tissue , and Functions of tissue in the plant and human body with their diagrams. What is a tissue? We have already learned that Cells  are the building blocks of life and every organism is composed of cells but, a single cell is not enough to create multicellular organisms like plants and animals, Right?. Therefore, Many structurally and functionally similar cells group together to perform the same function, Such groups are known as Tissues . Tissue forms a cellular organizational level between the cells to the organ system. Organs are then formed by combining the tissue in the same way as cells. Let's study our topic of the day -  Tissue in detail ↓ Tissue Definition   -  A tissue is a group of similar cells that work together as a team to perform a specific function. For example Muscle o

Which is the Most Sensitive Organ in the Human Body? Introduction The human body is a marvel of complexity, with various organs and systems working in harmony to sustain life. Among these organs, some are incredibly sensitive, serving vital functions that keep us safe and aware of our surroundings. But which one is the most sensitive? In this article, we'll explore the intricacies of sensitivity in the human body and the most sensitive organ of our body. Defining Sensitivity Before we delve into the specifics, let's define what we mean by sensitivity in the context of the human body. Sensitivity refers to an organ's ability to detect and respond to external stimuli, such as touch, pressure, temperature, or pain. It's a crucial aspect of our survival and helps us interact with the world around us. The Skin: Our Sensory Shield When it comes to sensitivity, the skin takes center stage. It's not just an organ; it's the body's largest sensory organ. The skin'

Circulation of blood by the heart The heart is a muscular organ that continuously pumps blood, the heart distributes oxygenated blood (oxygen-rich blood) to all parts of the body and then receives and transports it to the lungs when the blood is deoxygenated (oxygen-poor blood) to gain oxygen. The oxygen-poor blood is received by the right atrium from all parts of the body through veins (superior and inferior vena cava), the blood then moves into the right ventricle, and then it is moved to the lungs through the pulmonary arteries, which only carries deoxygenated blood. The oxygenation of the blood is done by the lungs.  After the oxygenation of blood in the lungs the oxygenated blood again travels back to the heart through the pulmonary veins, which only carries oxygenated blood, to the left atrium, then moves to the left ventricle, and then is distributed to all parts of the body through arteries ( Aorta ). Diagram of blood circulation in the heart Frequently asked questi

INTRODUCTION TO CELL ORGANELLES As we know that every living organism is composed of Cell and inside of these cells there is the presence of structures that helps it to perform various functions such as growth, digestion, immunity, etc.. which keeps the entire system within the cell active. These structures are together known as Cell Organelles.                   LEARNING OUTCOMES Cell Organelles definition List of Cell Organelles Nucleus Ribosomes Endoplasmic Reticulum Golgi Apparatus Centrosome and Centriole Plastids Mitochondria Plasma Membrane Cytoplasm Microbodies Vacuoles Lysosomes Cytoskeleton Importance of Cell Organelles Frequently asked questions related to cell organelles with their answers.  CELL ORGANELLES DEFINITION An Organelle is a specialized structure or compartment that has specific functions to do within the cell.   In other words, Organelles are the subunit of cells that have tasks to do inside them. Among all the Organelles present in the cell, some of the major

                                  Cells                      They are the smallest unit of life. All living organisms are made up of cells and that is one of the reasons why cells are known as the “building blocks of life”.Let us see some important points regarding cells- ★ Scientist Robert Hooke in 1655 found cells for the first time during an observation while examining a dried section of cork tree with a crude light microscope, he observed small chambers and named them cells. ★ Cells are known as the structural and functional unit of life as all living organisms are composed of cells. ★ All the functions of organisms like growth, movement, digestion, immunity, etc are done by cells. ★ Cells contain different types of components like Cytoplasm, Mitochondria, Golgi apparatus, Centriole, Ribosomes, etc which help in the life of cells. ★ The cell membrane or plasma membrane is a double layer consisting of proteins and lipids surrounding the cell which separates cytoplasm (inner content
